Emergence of colloidal patterns in AC electrical fields
Florian Katzmeier, Bernhard Altaner, Jonathan List +2
Suspended microparticles subjected to AC electrical fields collectively organize into band patterns perpendicular to the field direction. The bands further develop into zigzag shap…
Nonequilibrium thermodynamics and information theory: Basic concepts and relaxing dynamics
Bernhard Altaner
Thermodynamics is based on the notions of energy and entropy. While energy is the elementary quantity governing physical dynamics, entropy is the fundamental concept in information…
Fluctuation-dissipation relations far from equilibrium
Bernhard Altaner, Matteo Polettini, Massimiliano Esposito
Near equilibrium, where all currents of a system vanish on average, the fluctuation-dissipation relation (FDR) connects a current's spontaneous fluctuations with its response to pe…
Fluctuating Currents in Stochastic Thermodynamics II. Energy Conversion and Nonequilibrium Response in Kinesin Models
Bernhard Altaner, Artur Wachtel, Jürgen Vollmer
Unlike macroscopic engines, the molecular machinery of living cells is strongly affected by fluctuations. Stochastic Thermodynamics uses Markovian jump processes to model the rando…
Foundations of Stochastic Thermodynamics
Bernhard Altaner
Small systems in a thermodynamic medium --- like colloids in a suspension or the molecular machinery in living cells --- are strongly affected by the thermal fluctuations of their…
Fluctuating Currents in Stochastic Thermodynamics I. Gauge Invariance of Asymptotic Statistics
Artur Wachtel, Jürgen Vollmer, Bernhard Altaner
Stochastic Thermodynamics uses Markovian jump processes to model random transitions between observable mesoscopic states. Physical currents are obtained from anti-symmetric jump ob…
A microscopic perspective on stochastic thermodynamics
Bernhard Altaner, Jürgen Vollmer
We consider stochastic thermodynamics as a theory of statistical inference for experimentally observed fluctuating time-series. To that end, we introduce a general framework for qu…
Stochastic Thermodynamics, Reversible Dynamical Systems and Information Theory
Bernhard Altaner
Stochastic Thermodynamics (ST) extends the notions of classical thermodynamics to trajectories taken from a nonequilibrium ensemble. This extension yields a simple approach to fluc…
Fluctuation preserving coarse graining for biochemical systems
Bernhard Altaner, Jürgen Vollmer
Finite stochastic Markov models play a major role for modelling biochemical pathways. Such models are a coarse-grained description of the underlying microscopic dynamics and can be…
Network representations of non-equilibrium steady states: Cycle decompositions, symmetries and dominant paths
Bernhard Altaner, Jürgen Vollmer, Stefan Grosskinsky +3
Non-equilibrium steady states (NESS) of Markov processes give rise to non-trivial cyclic probability fluxes. Cycle decompositions of the steady state offer an effective description…
