Energy Storage in Steady States under Cyclic Local Energy Input

Abstract

We study periodic steady states of a lattice system under external cyclic energy supply using simulation. We consider different protocols for cyclic energy supply and examine the energy storage. Under the same energy flux, we found that the stored energy depends on the details of the supply, period and amplitude of the supply. Further, we introduce an adiabatic wall as internal constrain into the lattice and examine the stored energy with respect to different positions of the internal constrain. We found that the stored energy for constrained systems are larger than their unconstrained counterpart. We also observe that the system stores more energy through large and rare energy delivery, comparing to small and frequent delivery.
