Critical behavior of the driven Curie-Weiss model

Ruohan Xu, Faezeh Khodabandehlou, Christian Maes

We complete the phase diagram of the macroscopic Curie-Weiss magnet in a time-periodic external field, as a function of temperature and driving parameters. There is a regime (large…

Specific heat of thermally driven chains

Michiel Gautama, Faezeh Khodabandehlou, Christian Maes +1

We investigate the thermal responses of a harmonic oscillator chain coupled at its boundaries to heat baths held at different temperatures. This setup sustains a steady energy flux…

Quasistatic response for nonequilibrium processes: evaluating the Berry potential and curvature

Aaron Beyen, Faezeh Khodabandehlou, Christian Maes

We investigate how introducing slow, time-dependent perturbations to a steady, nonequilibrium process alters the expected (excess) values of important observables, such as the dyna…

Bringing calorimetry (back) to life

Faezeh Khodabandehlou, Christian Maes, Édgar Roldán

Micro-calorimetry offers significant potential as a quantitative method for studying the structure and function of biological systems, for instance, by probing the excess heat rele…

Negative specific heats: where Clausius and Boltzmann entropies separate

Lander Bogers, Faezeh Khodabandehlou, Christian Maes

Steady nonequilibria dissipate energy and, when changing external parameters, an extra or excess heat accompanies the relaxation to the new nonequilibrium condition. For nonequilib…

Affine relationships between steady currents

Faezeh Khodabandehlou, Christian Maes, Karel Netočný

Perturbing transition rates in a steady nonequilibrium system, e.g. modelled by a Markov jump process, causes a change in the local currents. Their susceptibility is usually expres…
