On the basis of a calculation of the exact interliquid hopping rate and an approximate single particle Green's function, we present new evidence for the existence of a phase of relevant but incoherent inter-Luttinger liquid transport. This…
We consider overdamped Brownian particles with two degrees of freedom (DoF) that are confined in a time-varying quadratic potential and are in simultaneous contact with heat baths of different temperatures along the respective DoF. The…
For fluctuating currents in non-equilibrium steady states, the recently discovered thermodynamic uncertainty relation expresses a fundamental relation between their variance and the overall entropic cost associated with the driving. We show…
Self-propelled particles, which convert energy into mechanical motion, exhibit inertia if they have a macroscopic size or move inside a gaseous medium, in contrast to micron-sized overdamped particles immersed in a viscous fluid. Here we…
The motion of a particle with a spin in spherical harmonic oscillator potential with spin-orbit interaction is studied. We have focus our attention on spatial motion of wave packets, giving a description complementary to motion of spin…
Recently, Huang, Wu and Florin posted a Comment (0806.4632v1) on our preprint (0804.0730v1) describing nonequilibrium circulation of a colloidal sphere trapped in a optical tweezer. The Comment suggests that evidence for toroidal…
New results on particle correlations and event-by-event fluctuations presented at Quark Matter 2004 are reviewed.
In a recent paper [Y. Taroyan, Phys. Rev. Lett 101, 245001 (2008) it is claimed that a new MHD instability of the Alfven wave has been found: incompressible Alfven modes propagating in a compressible spatially varying flow were apparently…
We comment on a recent paper by Yuen-Zhou et al. [ Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2009, 11, 4509 ] which extends some of the results of Time-Dependent Current Density Functional Theory applied to open quantum systems. Besides pointing out some…
We consider a particle, confined to a moving harmonic potential, under the influence of friction and external asymmetric Poissonian shot noise (PSN). We study the fluctuations of the work done to maintain this system in a nonequilibrium…
Although time-reversal and inversion symmetry constrain the angular momentum of each phonon mode to vanish, we show that the vacuum state of crystals with such symmetries can nevertheless exhibit finite angular momentum fluctuations, which…
