Vortex ratchet
A. Perez-Madrid, T. Alarcon, J. M. Rubi
We present a new class of thermal ratchets operating under the action of a symmetry breaking non-Hermitian perturbation which rectifies thermal fluctuations, and driven by a unbias…
Origin of the Violation of the Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem in Systems with Activated Dynamics
A. Perez-Madrid, D. Reguera, J. M. Rubi
We analyze the validity of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem for slow relaxation systems in the context of mesoscopic nonequilibrium thermodynamics. We demonstrate that the viola…
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…
On the origin of plankton patchiness
J. M. G. Vilar, R. V. Sole, J. M. Rubi
Plankton is the productive base of aquatic ecosystems and plays a major role in the global control of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Nevertheless, after intensive study, the factors t…
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…
Shot noise as a tool to probe an electron energy distribution
O. M. Bulashenko, J. M. Rubi
We discuss the possibility to employ the shot-noise measurements for the analysis of the energy resolved ballistic currents. Coulomb interactions play an essential role in this tec…
