Close-to-equilibrium heat capacity
Faezeh Khodabandehlou, Christian Maes
Close to equilibrium, the excess heat governs the static fluctuations. We study the heat capacity in that McLennan regime, i.e., in linear order around equilibrium, using an expres…
Specific heat of a driven lattice gas
Pritha Dolai, Christian Maes
Calorimetry for equilibrium systems aims to determine the available microscopic occupation and distribution of energy levels by measuring thermal response. Nonequilibrium versions…
Frenetic steering in a nonequilibrium graph
Bram Lefebvre, Christian Maes
In traditional recognition tasks of neural networks, a potential landscape or cost function guides the system toward patterns using gradient dynamics. That is not how the brain wor…
The vanishing of excess heat for nonequilibrium processes reaching zero ambient temperature
Faezeh Khodabandehlou, Christian Maes, Irene Maes +1
We present the mathematical ingredients for an extension of the Third Law of Thermodynamics (Nernst heat postulate) to nonequilibrium processes. The central quantity is the excess…
Calorimetry for active systems
Pritha Dolai, Christian Maes, Karel Netočný
We provide the theoretical basis of calorimetry for a class of active particles subject to thermal noise. Simulating AC-calorimetry, we numerically evaluate the heat capacity of ru…
A Nernst heat theorem for nonequilibrium jump processes
Faezeh Khodabandehlou, Christian Maes, Karel Netočný
We discuss via general arguments and examples when and why the steady nonequilibrium heat capacity vanishes with temperature. The framework is the one of Markov jump processes on f…
