Single Particle Thermodynamics with Levitated Nanoparticles
arXiv:2007.08632 · doi:10.1007/978-3-319-99046-0_35
Abstract
This chapter is intended as a pedagogical introduction to the dynamics of optically levitated nanoparticles with a focus on the study of single particle thermodynamics. Much of the work studying thermodynamics with nano- and micro-particles has taken place in liquid, and this chapter will avoid reviewing this impressive body of work, focussing instead on studies of thermodynamics with nanoparticles levitated in a gas. For a recent literature review we refer the reader to Gieseler & Millen Entropy 20, 326 (2018). The authors will discuss extensions into the quantum regime where relevant throughout the chapter.
This article appears as a chapter in the book `Thermodynamics in the Quantum Regime' (eds. Binder F., Correa L., Gogolin C., Anders J., Adesso G.), vol. 195 of the 'Fundamental Theories of Physics' series (Springer). arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1805.02927
