Energy Transport Structure and Fluctuation Theorem in Nonreciprocal Harmonic Chains
Ziwei Cheng, Geng Li, Zhanchun Tu
Nonreciprocal interactions fundamentally alter energy transport by breaking the symmetry between forward and backward responses. Here, we uncover an exact transport structure for a…
Engineering Ratchet-Based Particle Separation via Shortcuts to Isothermality
Xiu-Hua Zhao, Z. C. Tu, Yu-Han Ma
Microscopic particle separation plays vital role in various scientific and industrial domains. In this Letter, we propose a universal non-equilibrium thermodynamic approach, employ…
Escape rate of an active Brownian particle in a rough potential
Yating Wang, Z. C. Tu
We discuss escape problem with the consideration of both the activity of particles and the roughness of potentials. we derive analytic expressions for the escape rate of a Brownian…
Microscopic low-dissipation heat engine via shortcuts to adiabaticity and shortcuts to isothermality
Xiu-Hua Zhao, Zheng-Nan Gong, Z. C. Tu
We construct a microscopic model of low-dissipation engines by driving a Brownian particle in a time-dependent harmonic potential. Shortcuts to adiabaticity and shortcuts to isothe…
Equilibrium free energy differences from a linear nonequilibrium equality
Geng Li, Z. C. Tu
Extracting equilibrium information from nonequilibrium measurements is a challenge task of great importance in understanding the thermodynamic properties of physical, chemical, and…
Shortcuts to isothermality and nonequilibrium work relations
Geng Li, H. T. Quan, Z. C. Tu
In conventional thermodynamics, it is widely acknowledged that the realization of an isothermal process for a system requires a quasi-static controlling protocol. Here we propose a…
Stochastic heat engine with the consideration of inertial effects and shortcuts to adiabaticity
Z. C. Tu
When a Brownian particle in contact with a heat bath at a constant temperature is controlled by a time-dependent harmonic potential, its distribution function can be rigorously der…
