Role of inertia on the performance of Brownian gyrators
Thalyta T. Martins, Ines Ben-Yedder, Alex Fontana +1
Understanding the role of inertia in nanoscale heat transport is fundamental to the design of efficient nano-thermodynamics systems. In this work, we experimentally address the non…
Multimode characterization of an optical beam deflection setup
Alex Fontana, Ludovic Bellon
Optical beam deflection is a popular method to measure the deformation of micromechanical devices. As it measures mostly a local slope, its sensitivity depends on the location and…
Linking fluctuation and dissipation in spatially extended out-of-equilibrium systems
Alex Fontana, Ludovic Bellon
For systems in equilibrium at a temperature , thermal noise and energy damping are related to through the fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT). We study here an extension o…
Thermal noise of a cryo-cooled silicon cantilever locally heated up to its melting point
Alex Fontana, Richard Pedurand, Vincent Dolique +2
The Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem (FDT) is a powerful tool to estimate the thermal noise of physical systems in equilibrium. In general however, thermal equilibrium is an approxi…
Extended equipartition in a mechanical system subject to a heat flow: the case of localised dissipation
Alex Fontana, Richard Pedurand, Ludovic Bellon
Statistical physics in equilibrium grants us one of its most powerful tools: the equipartition principle. It states that the degrees of freedom of a mechanical system act as a ther…
