Finite-time fluctuation theorem for diffusion-influenced surface reactions on spherical and Janus catalytic particles

Statistical Mechanics 2018-12-24 v1

Abstract

A finite-time fluctuation theorem for the diffusion-influenced surface reaction A <=> B is investigated for spherical and Janus catalytic particles. The finite-time rates and thermodynamic force are analytically calculated by solving diffusion equations with the special boundary conditions of the finite-time fluctuation theorem. Theory is compared with numerical simulations carried out with two different methods: a random walk algorithm and multiparticle collision dynamics.
