Nonergodicity observed in single-particle tracking experiments is usually modeled by transient trapping rather than spatial disorder. We introduce models of a particle diffusing in a medium consisting of regions with random sizes and random…

Recent advances in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics shed new light on the ratchet effect. The ratchet motion can thus be understood in terms of symmetry (breaking) considerations. We introduce an additional symmetry operation besides…
We study diffusion in ratchet systems. As a particular experimental realization we consider an asymmetric SQUID subjected to an external ac current and a constant magnetic flux. We analyze mean-square displacement of the Josephson phase and…

A mechanism of the self-organization in an unbounded two-dimensional (2D) point vortex system is discussed. A kinetic equation for the system with positive and negative vortices is derived using the Klimontovich formalism. Similar to the…
We study a connection between chemical thermodynamics and information geometry. We clarify a relation between the Gibbs free energy of an ideal dilute solution and an information-geometric quantity called an $f$-divergence. From this…
We observe the spontaneous onset of three-dimensional motion from a quiescent, purely conductive state of a stably stratified fluid in a V-shaped enclosure heated from below, which ultimately self-organizes into a two-dimensional steady…
Two-dimensional (2D) particulate aggregates formed due to competing interactions exhibit a range of non-equilibrium steady state morphologies from finite-size compact crystalline structures to non-compact string-like conformations. We…
The "ratchet principle" asserts that non-equilibrium systems which violate parity symmetry generically exhibit steady-state currents. As recently shown, there are exceptions to this principle, due to the existence of hidden time-reversal…
