Three detailed fluctuation theorems
Massimiliano Esposito, Christian Van den Broeck
The total entropy production of a trajectory can be split into an adiabatic and a non-adiabatic contribution, deriving respectively from the breaking of detailed balance via nonequ…
Finite time thermodynamics for a single level quantum dot
Massimiliano Esposito, Ryoichi Kawai, Katja Lindenberg +1
We investigate the finite time thermodynamics of a single-level fermion system interacting with a thermal reservoir through a tunneling junction. The optimal protocol to extract th…
Pulse propagation in decorated granular chains: An analytical approach
Upendra Harbola, Alexandre Rosas, Aldo H. Romero +2
We study pulse propagation in one-dimensional chains of spherical granules decorated with small grains placed between large granules. The effect of the small granules can be captur…
Entropy production as correlation between system and reservoir
Massimiliano Esposito, Katja Lindenberg, Christian Van den Broeck
We derive an exact (classical and quantum) expression for the entropy production of a finite system placed in contact with one or several finite reservoirs each of which is initial…
Reaching optimal efficiencies using nano-sized photo-electric devices
Bob Rutten, Massimiliano Esposito, Bart Cleuren
We study the thermodynamic efficiency of a nano-sized photo-electric device and show that at maximum power output, the efficiency is bounded from above by a result closely related…
Extracting chemical energy by growing disorder: Efficiency at maximum power
Massimiliano Esposito, Katja Lindenberg, Christian Van den Broeck
We consider the efficiency of chemical energy extraction from the environment by the growth of a copolymer made of two constituent units in the entropy-driven regime. We show that…
