Stochastic entropy production for dynamical systems with restricted diffusion
Jonathan Dexter, Ian J. Ford
Modelling the evolution of a system using stochastic dynamics typically implies a greater subjective uncertainty in the adopted system coordinates as time progresses, and stochasti…
Stochastic Thermodynamics in a Non-Markovian Dynamical System
Cillian Cockrell, Ian J Ford
The developing field of stochastic thermodynamics extends concepts of macroscopic thermodynamics such as entropy production and work to the microscopic level of individual trajecto…
Entropy-reducing dynamics of a double demon
Ian J. Ford, Michael Maitland
We study the reduction in total entropy, and associated conversion of environmental heat into work, arising from the coupling and decoupling of two systems followed by processing d…
Free energy of formation of clusters of sulphuric acid and water molecules determined by guided disassembly
Jamie Y. Parkinson, Gabriel V. Lau, Ian J. Ford
We evaluate the grand potential of a cluster of two molecular species, equivalent to its free energy of formation from a binary vapour phase, using a nonequilibrium molecular dynam…
Maxwell's demon and the management of ignorance in stochastic thermodynamics
Ian J. Ford
It is nearly 150 years since Maxwell challenged the validity of the second law of thermodynamics by imagining a tiny creature who could sort the molecules of a gas in such a way th…
Work relations for a system governed by Tsallis statistics
Ian J. Ford, Robert W. Eyre
We derive analogues of the Jarzynski equality and Crooks relation to characterise the nonequilibrium work associated with changes in the spring constant of an overdamped oscillator…
