Experimental Realization of a Minimal Microscopic Heat Engine
Aykut Argun, Jalpa Soni, Lennart Dabelow +4
Microscopic heat engines are microscale systems that convert energy flows between heat reservoirs into work or systematic motion. We have experimentally realized a minimal microsco…
Longterm Influence of Inertia on the Diffusion of a Brownian Particle
Giuseppe Pesce, Giorgio Volpe, Giovanni Volpe +1
We demonstrate experimentally that a Brownian particle is subject to inertial effects at long time scales. By using a blinking optical tweezers, we extend the range of previous exp…
Dynamical Effects of Multiplicative Feedback on a Noisy System
Giuseppe Pesce, Austin McDaniel, Scott Hottovy +2
Intrinsically noisy mechanisms drive most physical, biological and economic phenomena, from stock pricing to phenotypic variability. Frequently, the system's state influences the d…
Influence of rotational force fields on the determination of the work done on a driven Brownian particle
Giuseppe Pesce, Giovanni Volpe, Alberto Imparato +2
For a Brownian system the evolution of thermodynamic quantities is a stochastic process. In particular, the work performed on a driven colloidal particle held in an optical trap ch…
Quantitative assessment of non-conservative radiation forces in an optical trap
Giuseppe Pesce, Giorgio Volpe, Anna Chiara De Luca +2
The forces acting on an optically trapped particle are usually assumed to be conservative. However, the presence of a non-conservative component has recently been demonstrated. Her…
Work and heat probability distribution of an optically driven Brownian particle: Theory and experiments
A. Imparato, L. Peliti, G. Pesce +2
We analyze the equations governing the evolution of distributions of the work and the heat exchanged with the environment by a manipulated stochastic system, by means of a compact…
