Excess dissipation shapes symmetry breaking in non-equilibrium currents
Matteo Sireci, Luca Peliti, Daniel Maria Busiello
Most natural thermodynamic systems operate far from equilibrium, developing persistent currents and organizing into non-equilibrium stationary states (NESSs). Yet, the principles b…
Work and heat probability distributions in out-of-equilibrium systems
A. Imparato, L. Peliti
We review and discuss the equations governing the distribution of work done on a system which is driven out of equilibrium by external manipulation, as well as those governing the…
The distribution function of entropy flow in stochastic systems
A. Imparato, L. Peliti
We obtain a simple direct derivation of the differential equation governing the entropy flow probability distribution function of a stochastic system first obtained by Lebowitz and…
On the equipartition of kinetic energy in an ideal gas mixture
L. Peliti
A refinement of an argument due to Maxwell for the equipartition of kinetic energy in a mixture of ideal gases with different masses is proposed. The argument is elementary, yet it…
Fluctuation relations for a driven Brownian particle
A. Imparato, L. Peliti
We consider a driven Brownian particle, subject to both conservative and non-conservative applied forces, whose probability evolves according to the Kramers equation. We derive a g…
Effective Area-Elasticity and Tension of Micro-manipulated Membranes
J. -B. Fournier, A. Ajdari, L. Peliti
We evaluate the effective Hamiltonian governing, at the optically resolved scale, the elastic properties of micro-manipulated membranes. We identify floppy, entropic-tense and stre…
