Self-Consistent Microscopic Model of Fluctuation-Induced Transport
arXiv:cond-mat/9410055 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.74.10
Abstract
A Maxwell's demon type ``information engine" which extracts work from a bath is constructed from a microscopic Hamiltonian for the whole system including a subsystem, a thermal bath, and a nonequilibrium bath of phonons or photons which represents an information source/sink. The kinetics of the engine is calculated self-consistently from the state of the nonequilibrium bath, and the relation of this kinetics to the underlying microscopic thermodynamics is established.
