Optimization of Stochastic Thermodynamic Machines [PDF]
Journal of Statistical Physics, 2020 The study of stochastic thermodynamic machines is one of the main topics in nonequilibrium thermodynamics. In this study, within the framework of Fokker-Planck equation, and using the method of characteristics of partial differential equation as well as the variational method, performance of stochastic thermodynamic machines is optimized according to ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.An Aloe‐pinspired droplet electricity generator (A‐DEG) overcomes the limited energy collection zone of conventional DEGs by guiding impact droplets through a channeling midrib and artificial cuticle. The channeling midrib induces uni‐directional droplet spreading, while the artificial cuticle on the midrib further reinforces this behavior through its ...

Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of Chemical Reaction Networks: Wisdom from Stochastic Thermodynamics
Physical Review X, 2016 We build a rigorous nonequilibrium thermodynamic description for open chemical reaction networks of elementary reactions. Their dynamics is described by deterministic rate equations with mass action kinetics.

Stochastic thermodynamics of chemical reaction networks
, 2006 For chemical reaction networks described by a master equation, we define energy and entropy on a stochastic trajectory and develop a consistent nonequilibrium thermodynamic description along a single stochastic trajectory of reaction events.

Plasmonic Nanomachines: Creating Local Potential Gradients and Motions
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Plasmonic nanomachines can generate optical, thermal, and chemical potential gradients to drive directional rectilinear, rotational, and twisting motions at the nanometer scale. The integration of multimodal plasmonic forces with functional materials and programmed structural distortions enables precise spatiotemporal actuation, thereby providing a ...

Entropy production along nonequilibrium quantum jump trajectories
New Journal of Physics, 2013 For classical nonequilibrium systems, the separation of the total entropy production into the adiabatic and nonadiabatic contributions is useful for understanding irreversibility in nonequilibrium thermodynamics.

Fluctuating Currents in Stochastic Thermodynamics I. Gauge Invariance of Asymptotic Statistics
, 2015 Stochastic Thermodynamics uses Markovian jump processes to model random transitions between observable mesoscopic states. Physical currents are obtained from anti-symmetric jump observables defined on the edges of the graph representing the network of ...

Topological Point Defects in SmC* Liquid Crystals Under Mechanical Disturbance
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Tangetial air jet shear inducess island formation and nucleates topological point defects in uniform SmC films. Island bounded by edge dislocation loops shrink and transform into isolated point defects under continued shear. Mechanical perturbatio provides a controllable route for defect engineering in smectric liquid crystal thin films.
