Efficiency at maximum power of low dissipation Carnot engines
Massimiliano Esposito, Ryoichi Kawai, Katja Lindenberg +1
We study the efficiency at maximum power, , of engines performing finite-time Carnot cycles between a hot and a cold reservoir at temperatures and , respectively. F…
Nonequilibrium thermodynamics and Nose-Hoover dynamics
Massimiliano Esposito, Takaaki Monnai
We show that systems driven by an external force and described by Nose-Hoover dynamics allow for a consistent nonequilibrium thermodynamics description when the thermostatted varia…
The Three Faces of the Second Law: II. Fokker-Planck Formulation
Christian Van den Broeck, Massimiliano Esposito
The total entropy production is the sum of two contributions, the so-called adiabatic and nonadiabatic entropy production, each of which is non-negative. We derive their explicit e…
The Three Faces of the Second Law: I. Master Equation Formulation
Massimiliano Esposito, Christian Van den Broeck
We propose a new formulation of stochastic thermodynamics for systems subjected to nonequilibrium constraints (i.e. broken detailed balance at steady state) and furthermore driven…
A self-consistent quantum master equation approach to molecular transport
Massimiliano Esposito, Michael Galperin
We propose a self-consistent generalized quantum master equation (GQME) to describe electron transport through molecular junctions. In a previous study [M.Esposito and M.Galperin.…
Quantum-dot Carnot engine at maximum power
Massimiliano Esposito, Ryoichi Kawai, Katja Lindenberg +1
We evaluate the efficiency at maximum power of a quantum-dot Carnot heat engine. The universal value of the coefficients at the linear and quadratic order in the temperature gradie…
