Thermophoresis is a transport phenomenon induced by a temperature gradient. Very small objects dispersed in a fluid medium and in a temperature gradient present a non homogeneous steady density. Analysing this phenomenon within the…

Exposing a solution to a temperature gradient can lead to the accumulation of particles on either the cold or warm side. This phenomenon, known as thermophoresis, has been discovered more than a century ago, and yet its microscopic origin…

Thermophoresis (thermodiffusion, Soret effect) moves molecules along thermal gradients. We measure its phenomenological linear drift relation by single particle tracking in convection-free settings. For moderate thermal gradients, drift…

We study the motion of a Brownian particle in a medium with inhomogeneous temperature. In the overdamped regime of low Reynolds numbers, the probability distribution function (PDF) of the particle is obtained from the van Kampen diffusion…

The density distributions and Soret coefficient in a nonequilibrium colloidal system with nonuniform temperature are studied by the overdamped Langevin equation for Brownian motion in an inhomogeneous strong friction medium. Based on the…

We show that for any liquid or solid with strong correlation between its $NVT$ virial and potential-energy equilibrium fluctuations, the temperature is a product of a function of excess entropy per particle and a function of density,…

In binary fluid systems under temperature differences, thermophoretic separation and thermal convective mixing are two key mechanisms that affect the processes of transport. The thermophoretic effect, also known as the Soret effect,…

We propose a generalization of stochastic thermodynamics to systems of active particles, which move under the combined influence of stochastic internal self-propulsions (activity) and a heat bath. The main idea is to consider joint…

We study stochastic thermodynamics of a Brownian particle which is subjected to a temperature gradient and is confined by an external potential. We first formulate an over-damped Ito-Langevin theory in terms of local temperature, friction…

The Soret effect is the tendency of fluid mixtures to exhibit concentration gradients in the presence of a temperature gradient. Using molecular-dynamics simulation of two-component Lennard-Jones liquids, it is demonstrated that…

We study stochastic thermodynamics of over-damped Brownian motion in a flowing fluid. Unlike some previous works, we treat the effects of the flow field as a non-conservational driving force acting on the Brownian particle. This allows us…

In the last ten years, a number of ``Conventional Fluctuation Theorems'' have been derived for systems with deterministic or stochastic dynamics, in a transient or in a non-equilibrium stationary state. These theorems gave explicit…

In a simple model of a continuous random walk a particle moves in one dimension with the velocity fluctuating between V and -V. If V is associated with the thermal velocity of a Brownian particle and allowed to be position dependent, the…

The description of molecular motion by macroscopic hydrodynamics has a long and continuing history. The Stokes-Einstein relation between the diffusion coefficient of a solute and the solvent viscosity predicted using macroscopic continuum…

This paper revisits Brownian motion from the perspective of Information Theory, aiming to explore the connections between Information Theory, Thermodynamics, and Complex Science. First, we propose a single-particle discrete Brownian motion…

Thermodiffusion in aqueous electrolyte solutions exhibits complex dependencies on temperature, concentration, and salt composition, yet its microscopic origins remain incompletely understood. Here, we employ non-equilibrium molecular…

The non-equilibrium distribution of colloids in a polymer solution under a temperature gradient is studied experimentally. A slight increase of local temperature by a focused laser drives the colloids towards the hot region, resulting in…

The concept of entropy has been pivotal in the formulation of thermodynamics. For systems driven away from thermal equilibrium, a comparable role is played by entropy production and dissipation. Here we provide a comprehensive picture how…

Stochastic thermodynamics is the field of study relating fluctuations in stochastic systems to thermodynamic quantities. The total entropy production (EP), is central to the thermodynamic classification of systems. Non-equilibrium systems…

In 1928, Chapman generalised Einstein's theory of diffusion for non-uniform fluids to show the presence of a non-Fickian diffusion current, which he considered important in thermodiffusion (Ludwig-Soret effect). In 1941, Kiyosi It\^o…
