Fractional Entropy Decaying and the Third Law of Thermodynamics
arXiv:1401.1425 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.90.022126
Abstract
The quantum thermodynamic property of the fractional damping system is investigated extensively. A fractional power-law decaying entropy function is revealed which presents another evidence for the validity of the third law of thermodynamics in the quantum dissipative region. Several non-trivial characters are excavated such as that the entropy varies from a non-linear diverging function to a semi-linear decaying function of the fractional exponent as the temperature tends to absolute zero.
