Kramers-like Picture for Crystal Nucleation
D. Reguera, J. M. Rubi, A. Perez-Madrid
We introduce a new scheme to analyze the kinetics of homogeneous nucleation in terms of a global order parameter. Our approach is based on the application of the internal degrees o…
Inertial Effects in Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics
J. M. Rubi, A. Perez-Madrid
We discuss inertial effects in systems outside equilibrium within the framework of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. By introducing a Gibbs equation in which the entropy depends on t…
A Mesoscopic Approach to the ``Negative'' Viscosity Effect in Ferrofluids
A. Perez Madrid, T. Alarcon, J. M. G. Vilar +1
We present a mesoscopic approach to analyze the dynamics of a single magnetic dipole under the influence of an oscillating magnetic field, based on the formulation of a Fokker-Plan…
Periodic Modulation Induced Increase of Reaction Rates in Autocatalytic Systems
T. Alarcon, A. Perez-Madrid, J. M. Rubi
We propose a new mechanism to increase the reactions ratesin multistable autocatalytic systems. The mechanism is based upon the possibility for the enhancement of the response of t…
Stochastic Resonance in Nonpotential Systems
T. Alarcon, A. Perez-Madrid, J. M. Rubi
We propose a method to analytically show the possibility for the appearance of a maximum in the signal-to-noise ratio in nonpotential systems. We apply our results to the FitzHugh-…
