This paper is a second in a series devoted to the study of a two-oscillator system in linear relative motion (the first one published as a letter in Europhys. Lett. 91, 60003 (2010)). The main idea behind considering this kind of system is…
We study thermal transport in a classical one-dimensional Heisenberg model employing a discrete time odd even precessional update scheme. This dynamics equilibrates a spin chain for any arbitrary temperature and finite value of the…
We consider macroscopic systems in weak contact with boundary reservoirs and under the action of external fields. We present an explicit formula for the Hamiltonian of such systems, from which we deduce the equation of motions, the action…

A unified thermodynamic framework for characterization of functional materials is developed. This framework encompasses linear reversible and irreversible processes with thermal, electrical, magnetic, and/or mechanical effects coupled. The…
The metaphor of a clock in physics describes near-equilibrium reversible phenomena such as an oscillating spring. It is surprising that for chemical and biological clocks the focus has been exclusively on the far-from-equilibrium…

We present both exact and numerical results for the behavior of the Casimir force in $O(n)$ systems with a finite extension in one direction when the system is subjected to surface fields that induce helicity in the order parameter. We show…
The performance of a generic, cyclic heat engine between two heat reservoirs is discussed within a linear-irreversible framework. The Onsager reciprocal relation is derived as a consequence of the equivalence between quasi-static and…
We generalize the odd elasticity of planar materials to thermoelasticity, admitting spatially inhomogeneous properties. First, we show that for active systems breaking Onsager relations thermal evolution is given by an odd generalization of…
We study a Brownian Carnot cycle introduced by T. Schmiedl and U. Seifert [Europhys. Lett. \textbf{81}, 20003 (2008)] from a viewpoint of the linear irreversible thermodynamics. By considering the entropy production rate of this cycle, we…

Onsager's regression hypothesis connects the temporal relaxation of close-to-equilibrium systems with their dynamical correlation functions at thermal equilibrium. While the hypothesis is provably correct in classical systems, it is known…
