The Hungry Daemon: An energy-harvesting active particle must obey the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Simon Bienewald, Diego Marcel Fieguth, James R. Anglin

Thought experiments like Maxwell's Demon or the Feynman-Smoluchowski Ratchet can help in pursuing the microscopic origin of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Here we present a more…

Friction Induced Energy Gain

Diego M Fieguth

In this work we show how friction enables a non-linear energy transfer in a slow-fast Hamiltonian system. We first introduce a paradigmatic system consisting of a weakly coupled fa…

Dynamical active particles in the overdamped limit

Diego Marcel Fieguth

Mobile microscopic bodies, such as motile cells, can be modelled phenomenologically as ``active particles'' which can move against external forces by depleting an internal energy d…

Open system control of dynamical transitions under the generalized Kruskal-Neishtadt-Henrard theorem

Diego M. Fieguth, James R. Anglin

Useful dynamical processes often begin through barrier-crossing dynamical transitions; engineering system dynamics in order to make such transitions reliably is therefore an import…

Hamiltonian active particles in an environment

Timo Eichmann, Diego Fieguth, Daniel Brady +1

We examine a Hamiltonian system which represents an active Brownian particle that can move against an external force by drawing energy from an internal depot while immersed in a no…
