AbstractAlthough the equivalence of heat and work has been unveiled since Joule’s ingenious experiment in 1845, they rarely originate from the same source in experiments. In this study, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrated how to use a high-precision optical feedback trap to combine the generation of virtual temperature and potential to simultaneously manipulate the heat and work of a small system. This idea was applied to a microscopic Stirling engine consisting of a Brownian particle under a time-varying confining potential and temperature. The experimental results justified the position and the velocity equipartition theorem, confirmed several theoretically predicted energetics, and revealed the engine efficiency as well as its trade-off relation with the output power. The small theory–experiment discrepancy and high flexibility of the swift change of the particle condition highlight the advantage of this optical technique and prove it to be an efficient way for exploring heat and work-related issues in the modern thermodynamics for small systems.

Abstract We numerically investigate the resonance of the underdamped scaled Brownian motion in a bistable system for both cases of a single particle and interacting particles. Through the velocity autocorrelation function (VACF) and mean squared displacement (MSD) of a single particle, we find that for the steady state, diffusions are ballistic at short times and then become normal for most of parameter regimes. However, for certain parameter regimes, both VACF and MSD suggest that the transition between superdiffusion and subdiffusion takes place at intermediate times, and diffusion becomes normal at long times. Via the power spectrum density corresponding to the transitions, we find that there exists a nontrivial resonance. For interacting particles, we find that the interaction between the probe particle and other particles can lead to the resonance, too. Thus we theoretically propose the system with the Brownian particle as a probe, which can detect the temperature of the system and identify the number of the particles or the types of different coupling strengths in the system. The probe is potentially useful for detecting microscopic and nanometer-scale particles and for identifying cancer cells or healthy ones.

Insight Into

The time-dependent barrier passage of a Brownian particle diffusing in the fractional damping environment is studied by using the reactive flux method. Characteristic quantities such as the rate constant and stationary transmission coefficient are computed for a thimbleful of insight into the barrier escaping dynamics. Results show that the barrier recrossing of the fractional damping reactive system is obviously weakened. And the nonmonotonic varying of the stationary transmission coefficient reveals a close dependence of the escaping process on the fractional damping properties. The time-dependent barrier passage of one-dimensional fractional damping reactive process is found very similar to the two-dimensional non-Ohmic case.
