Stochastic Thermodynamics of Ecosystems [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of PhysicsWe investigate the thermodynamics as well as the population dynamics of ecosystems based on a stochastic approach in which the number of individuals of the several species of the ecosystem are treated as stochastic variables. The several species are connected by feeding relationships that are understood as unidirectional processes in which a certain ...

Spectroscopic characterization of rare events in colloidal particle stochastic thermodynamics. [PDF]
Front Chem, 2022 Given the remarkable developments in synthetic control over colloidal particle chemical and physical properties, it is interesting to see how stochastic thermodynamics studies may be performed with new, surrogate, or hybrid model systems.

Free Energy Evaluation of Cavity Formation in Metastable Liquid Based on Stochastic Thermodynamics. [PDF]
Entropy (Basel)Nucleation is a fundamental and general process at the initial stage of first-order phase transition. Although various models based on the classical nucleation theory (CNT) have been proposed to explain the energetics and kinetics of nucleation, detailed

Stochastic thermodynamics of nanoscale friction [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2021 Developing the thermodynamics of nanoscale friction is needed in a wide range of tribological applications, where the key objective is to optimally control the energy dissipation. Here we show that modern stochastic thermodynamics allows us to interpret the measurements obtained by friction force microscopy, which is the standard tool for investigating

Covariant nonequilibrium thermodynamics from Ito-Langevin dynamics
Physical Review Research, 2022 Using the recently developed covariant Ito-Langevin dynamics, we develop a nonequilibrium thermodynamic theory for small systems coupled to multiplicative noises.

Classical and quantum stochastic thermodynamics [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Ensino de Física, 2020 The stochastic thermodynamics provides a framework for the description of systems that are out of thermodynamic equilibrium. It is based on the assumption that the elementary constituents are acted by random forces that generate a stochastic dynamics ...

Geometrical aspects of entropy production in stochastic thermodynamics based on Wasserstein distance
Physical Review Research, 2021 We study a relationship between optimal transport theory and stochastic thermodynamics for the Fokker-Planck equation. We show that the lower bound on the entropy production is the action measured by the path length of the L^{2}-Wasserstein distance ...
