Abstract
A theory of temperature dynamics in many-body systems driven by time-dependent external sources is introduced. The formalism based on the combination of the perturbation theory and the fluctuational-electrodynamics approach in many-body systems. By using response theory, explicit formula for the temperature and phase shifts is derived and expressed in terms of the amplitude and phase of external power sources. Although the proposed method is highly efficient because it can skip the transient response, it is valid when external powers are weak. As an illustration of this theoretical framework, we have shown the dynamics of temperatures in one, two, and three degree of freedom systems driven by sine wave input powers. Finally, we highlighted some emergent phenomena arising from purely dynamical many-body effects, including amplification, attenuation, delaying or accelerating temperature responses. This work could find important applications in the domain of dynamical thermal management at the nanoscale.
