Virial-like Thermodynamic Uncertainty Relation in the Tight-Binding Regime

arXiv:2202.10526 · doi:10.1063/5.0107554

Abstract

We presented a methodology to approximate the entropy production for Brownian motion in a tilted periodic potential. The approximation stems from the well known thermodynamic uncertainty relation. By applying a virial-like expansion, we provided a tighter lower limit solely in terms of the drift velocity and diffusion. The approach presented is systematically analysed in the tight-binding regime. We also provide a relatively simple rule to validate using the tight-binding approach based on drift and diffusion relations rather than energy barriers and forces. We also discuss the implications of our results outside the tight-binding regime.
