Fluctuation relation in continuous-time random walks driven by an external field
arXiv:2308.13744 · doi:10.1088/1742-5468/ad0f8f
Abstract
We study a fluctuation relation representing a nonequilibrium equality indicating that the ratio between the distribution of trajectories obtained by exchanging the initial and final positions is characterized by free energy differences for the duration of the trajectories. We examine the fluctuation relation for noninteracting charge carriers driven by an external electric field by using a continuous-time lattice random walk model with a general waiting-time distribution of transitions. The fluctuation relation is obtained regardless of the lattice structure factor or the form of the waiting-time distribution. However, the fluctuation relation is satisfied only after taking the continuum limit in the presence of a reflecting boundary. Moreover, in free space without boundary conditions, exchanging the initial and final positions is equivalent to exchanging the field (or drift) directions. However, we show that the exchanging field (or drift) directions is not relevant for studying the fluctuation relation under the reflecting boundary condition.
