Single-file diffusion in spatially inhomogeneous systems
Benjamin Sorkin, David S. Dean
We study the effect of spatially-varying potential and diffusivity on the dispersion of a tracer particle in single-file diffusion. Non-interacting particles in such a system exhib…
Detecting and characterizing phase transitions in active matter using entropy
Benjamin Sorkin, Avraham Be'er, Haim Diamant +1
A major challenge in the study of active matter lies in quantitative characterization of phases and transitions between them. We show how the entropy of a collection of active obje…
Universal Relation between Entropy and Kinetics
Benjamin Sorkin, Haim Diamant, Gil Ariel
Relating thermodynamic and kinetic properties is a conceptual challenge with many practical benefits. Here, based on first principles, we derive a rigorous inequality relating the…
Resolving entropy contributions in nonequilibrium transitions
Benjamin Sorkin, Joshua Ricouvier, Haim Diamant +1
We derive a functional for the entropy contributed by any microscopic degrees of freedom as arising from their measurable pair correlations. Applicable both in and out of equilibri…
Persistent Collective Motion of a Dispersing Membrane Domain
Benjamin Sorkin, Haim Diamant
We study the Brownian motion of an assembly of mobile inclusions embedded in a fluid membrane. The motion includes the dispersal of the assembly, accompanied by the diffusion of it…
