Active transport: A kinetic description based on thermodynamic grounds
S. Kjelstrup, J. M. Rubi, D. Bedeaux
We show that active transport processes in biological systems can be understood through a local equilibrium description formulated at the mesoscale, the scale to describe stochasti…
Mesoscopic thermodynamics of stationary states
I. Santamaria-Holek, J. M. Rubi, A. Perez-Madrid
A thermodynamics for systems at a stationary states is formulated. It is based upon the assumption of the existence of local equilibrium in phase space which enables one to interpr…
Shot-noise spectroscopy of energy-resolved ballistic currents
M. Naspreda, O. M. Bulashenko, J. M. Rubi
We investigate the shot noise of nonequilibrium carriers injected into a ballistic conductor and interacting via long-range Coulomb forces. Coulomb interactions are shown to act as…
On the two principal curvatures as possible entropic barriers in a mesoscopic nonequilibrium thermodynamics model of complex matter agglomeration
A. Gadomski, J. M. Rubi
Matter agglomeration mesoscopic phenomena of irreversible type are well described by nonequilibrium thermodynamics formalism. The description assumes that the thermodynamic (intern…
Quantum suppression of shot noise in field emitters
O. M. Bulashenko, J. M. Rubi
We have analyzed the shot noise of electron emission under strong applied electric fields within the Landauer-Buttiker scheme. In contrast to the previous studies of vacuum-tube em…
Surface tension of liquids near the critical point
N. V. Brilliantov, J. M. Rubi
A simple analytical microscopic expression for the surface tension of liquids is obtained which is in a good agreement with available data of numerical experiments. We apply th…
