Large deviation function for entropy production in driven one-dimensional systems
Jakob Mehl, Thomas Speck, Udo Seifert
The large deviation function for entropy production is calculated for a particle driven along a periodic potential by solving a time-independent eigenvalue problem. In an intermedi…
Entropy production for mechanically or chemically driven biomolecules
Tim Schmiedl, Thomas Speck, Udo Seifert
Entropy production along a single stochastic trajectory of a biomolecule is discussed for two different sources of non-equilibrium. For a molecule manipulated mechanically by an AF…
Thermodynamics of a Colloidal Particle in a Time-Dependent Non-Harmonic Potential
V. Blickle, T. Speck, L. Helden +2
We study the motion of an overdamped colloidal particle in a time-dependent non-harmonic potential. We demonstrate the first law-like balance between applied work, exchanged heat,…
Integral fluctuation theorem for the housekeeping heat
T. Speck, U. Seifert
The housekeeping heat $Q\hk$ is the dissipated heat necessary to maintain the violation of detailed balance in nonequilibrium steady states. By analyzing the evolution of its proba…
Distribution of work in isothermal non-equilibrium processes
Thomas Speck, Udo Seifert
Diffusive motion in an externally driven potential is considered. It is shown that the distribution of work required to drive the system from an initial equilibrium state to anothe…
