Stationary state in a two-temperature model with competing dynamics

Statistical Mechanics 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

A two-dimensional half-filled lattice gas model with nearest-neighbor attractive interaction is studied where particles are coupled to two thermal baths at different temperatures T1T_1 and T2T_2. The hopping of particles is governed by the heat bath at temperature T1T_1 with probability pp and the other heat bath (T2)(T_2) with probability 1p1-p independently of the hopping direction. On a square lattice the vertical and horizontal interfaces become unstable while interfaces are stable in the diagonal directions. As a consequence, particles condense into a tilted square in the novel ordered state. The pp-dependence of the resulting nonequilibrium stationary state is studied by Monte Carlo simulation and dynamical mean-field approximation as well.
