Onsager Reciprocal Relations

Attempts are made to give phenomenological reasons for nonlinear Casimir-Onsager reciprocal relations. The fluxes can be defined as time derivations of state variables, or they can be explained by means of balance equations, because only their vectorial properties are used. At first, time reversal is replaced by an abstract parameter reversal from which involutoric transformations of forces and fluxes result. The connection between the parameter reversal of forces and fluxes allows to give reasons for relations which are equal to the Casimir-Onsager reciprocal relations apart from a sign. This sign is determined by experience. The connection between parameter and time reversal is discussed.

Onsager Reciprocal Relations

Time reversal invariance (TRI) of particles systems has many consequences, among which the celebrated Onsager reciprocal relations, a milestone in Statistical Mechanics dating back to 1931. Because for a long time it was believed that (TRI) dos not hold in presence of a magnetic field, a modification of such relations was proposed by Casimir in 1945. Only in the last decade, the strict traditional notion of reversibility that led to Casimir’s work has been questioned. It was then found that other symmetries can be used, which allow the Onsager reciprocal relations to hold without modification. In this paper we advance this investigation for classical Hamiltonian systems, substantially increasing the number of symmetries that yield TRI in presence of a magnetic field. We first deduce the most general form of a generalized time reversal operation on the phase space of such a system; secondly, we express sufficient conditions on the magnetic field which ensure TRI. Finally, we examine common examples from statistical mechanics and molecular dynamics. Our main result is that TRI holds in a much wider generality than previously believed, partially explaining why no experimental violation of Onsager relations has so far been reported.

Onsager Reciprocal Relations

The conditions sufficient for a phenomenological derivation of non-linear Casimir-Onsager reciprocal relations are restated and discussed. The main assumption is that systems can be combined without restriction. The time-reversal is identified with the parameter-inversion of the thermodynamical forces. In a supplement non-linear reciprocal relations are expanded in components, and their validity is shown for the non-linear case if the forces depend on each other.

AbstractWhen sound interacts with geometrically asymmetric structures, it experiences coupling between pressure and particle velocity, known as Willis coupling. While in most instances this phenomenon is perturbative in nature, tailored asymmetries combined with resonances can largely enhance it, enabling exotic acoustic phenomena. In these systems, Willis coupling obeys reciprocity, imposing an even symmetry of the Willis coefficients with respect to time reversal and the impinging wave vector, which translates into stringent constraints on the overall scattering response. In this work, we introduce and experimentally observe a dual form of acoustic Willis coupling, arising in geometrically symmetric structures when time-reversal symmetry is broken, for which the pressure-velocity coupling is purely odd-symmetric. We derive the conditions to maximize this effect, we experimentally verify it in a symmetric subwavelength scatterer biased by angular momentum, and we demonstrate the opportunities for sound scattering enabled by odd Willis coupling. Our study opens directions for acoustic metamaterials, with direct implications for sound control, non-reciprocal scattering, wavefront shaping and signal routing, of broad interest also for nano-optics, photonics, elasto-dynamics, and mechanics.

Abstract We investigate theoretically the macroscopic dynamics of various types of ordered magnetic fluid, gel, and elastomeric phases. We take a symmetry point of view and emphasize its importance for a macroscopic description. The interactions and couplings among the relevant variables are based on their individual symmetry behavior, irrespective of the detailed nature of the microscopic interactions involved. Concerning the variables we discriminate between conserved variables related to a local conservation law, symmetry variables describing a (spontaneously) broken continuous symmetry (e.g., due to a preferred direction) and slowly relaxing ones that arise from special conditions of the system are considered. Among the relevant symmetries, we consider the behavior under spatial rotations (e.g., discriminating scalars, vectors or tensors), under spatial inversion (discriminating e.g., polar and axial vectors), and under time reversal symmetry (discriminating e.g., velocities from polarizations, or electric fields from magnetic ones). Those symmetries are crucial not only to find the possible cross-couplings correctly but also to get a description of the macroscopic dynamics that is compatible with thermodynamics. In particular, time reversal symmetry is decisive to get the second law of thermodynamics right. We discuss (conventional quadrupolar) nematic order, polar order, active polar order, as well as ferromagnetic order and tetrahedral (octupolar) order. In a second step, we show some of the consequences of the symmetry properties for the various systems that we have worked on within the SPP1681, including magnetic nematic (and cholesteric) elastomers, ferromagnetic nematics (also with tetrahedral order), ferromagnetic elastomers with tetrahedral order, gels and elastomers with polar or active polar order, and finally magnetorheological fluids and gels in a one- and two-fluid description.

AbstractThere is considerable evidence that the superconducting state of Sr2RuO4 breaks time reversal symmetry. In the experiments showing time reversal symmetry breaking, its onset temperature, TTRSB, is generally found to match the critical temperature, Tc, within resolution. In combination with evidence for even parity, this result has led to consideration of a dxz ± idyz order parameter. The degeneracy of the two components of this order parameter is protected by symmetry, yielding TTRSB = Tc, but it has a hard-to-explain horizontal line node at kz = 0. Therefore, s ± id and d ± ig order parameters are also under consideration. These avoid the horizontal line node, but require tuning to obtain TTRSB ≈ Tc. To obtain evidence distinguishing these two possible scenarios (of symmetry-protected versus accidental degeneracy), we employ zero-field muon spin rotation/relaxation to study pure Sr2RuO4 under hydrostatic pressure, and Sr1.98La0.02RuO4 at zero pressure. Both hydrostatic pressure and La substitution alter Tc without lifting the tetragonal lattice symmetry, so if the degeneracy is symmetry-protected, TTRSB should track changes in Tc, while if it is accidental, these transition temperatures should generally separate. We observe TTRSB to track Tc, supporting the hypothesis of dxz ± idyz order.
