Work fluctuations for diffusion dynamics submitted to stochastic return
Deepak Gupta, Carlos A. Plata
Returning a system to a desired state under a force field involves a thermodynamic cost, i.e., {\it work}. This cost fluctuates for a small-scale system from one experimental reali…
Accelerating the heat diffusion: fast thermal relaxation of a microcantilever
Basile Pottier, Carlos Plata, Emmanuel Trizac +2
In most systems, thermal diffusion is intrinsically slow with respect to mechanical relaxation. We devise here a generic approach to accelerate the relaxation of the temperature fi…
Buckling in a rotationally invariant spin-elastic model
G. García-Valladares, C. A. Plata, A. Prados
Scanning tunneling microscopy experiments have revealed an spontaneous rippled-to-buckled transition in heated graphene sheets, in absence of any mechanical load. Several models re…
Thermal brachistochrone for harmonically confined Brownian particles
Antonio Patrón, Antonio Prados, Carlos A. Plata
The overdamped Brownian dynamics of a harmonic oscillator is a paradigmatic system in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, which reliably models relevant stochastic systems such…
Driving rapidly while remaining in control: classical shortcuts from Hamiltonian to stochastic dynamics
David Guéry-Odelin, Christopher Jarzynski, Carlos A. Plata +2
Stochastic thermodynamics lays down a broad framework to revisit the venerable concepts of heat, work and entropy production for individual stochastic trajectories of mesoscopic sy…
