Failure of the fluctuation-dissipation relation to ensure equilibrium
A Bhattacharyay
Fluctuation-dissipation relation ensures thermodynamic equilibrium of a particle immersed in a heat bath. We will show that, under certain circumstances, the fluctuation-dissipatio…
Directed transport in equilibrium
A. Bhattacharyay
We investigate a symmetry broken dimer constrained to move in a particular direction when in contact with a heat-bath at a constant temperature. The dimer is not driven by any exte…
Does the fluctuation-dissipation relation guarantee equilibrium?
Arijit Bhattacharyay
We study a symmetry broken harmonic oscillator in contact with a heat bath characterized by a fixed temperature. The overdampped system is solved exactly to show symmetry broken di…
Directional transport induced by elasticity and volume exclusion
A. Bhattacharyay
We investigate an exactly solvable model for directional transport in 1D. The structured system, which has strong elastic interactions in its parts, explicitly demonstrates the rol…
