Distribution of Entropy Production for a Colloidal Particle in a Nonequilibrium Steady State
For a colloidal particle driven by a constant force across a periodic potential, we investigate the distribution of entropy production both experimentally and theoretically. For short trajectories, the fluctuation theorem holds experimentally. The mean entropy production rate shows two regimes as a function of the applied force. Theoretically, both mean and variance of the pronounced non-Gaussi...
متن کاملRelaxation of a colloidal particle into a nonequilibrium steady state.
We study the relaxation of a single colloidal sphere which is periodically driven between two nonequilibrium steady states. Experimentally, this is achieved by driving the particle along a toroidal trap imposed by scanned optical tweezers. We find that the relaxation time after which the probability distributions have been relaxed is identical to the decay of the velocity autocorrelation functi...
متن کاملEntropy production and excess entropy in a nonequilibrium steady-state of single macromolecules.
Based on a recently developed formalism for mesoscopic stochastic dynamics of single macromolecules, such as motor proteins, in aqueous solution, we demonstrate mathematically the principle of the nonequilibrium thermodynamics originated by the Brussels group. The key concepts of excess entropy and excess entropy production, and their mathematical properties as well as physical interpretations,...
متن کاملTest of the fluctuation theorem for stochastic entropy production in a nonequilibrium steady state.
We derive a simple closed analytical expression for the total entropy production along a single stochastic trajectory of a Brownian particle diffusing on a periodic potential under an external constant force. By numerical simulations we compute the probability distribution functions of the entropy and satisfactorily test many of the predictions based on Seifert's integral fluctuation theorem. T...
متن کاملTotal entropy production fluctuation theorems in a nonequilibrium time-periodic steady state
We investigate the total entropy production of a Brownian particle in a driven bistable system. This system exhibits the phenomenon of stochastic resonance. We show that in the time-periodic steady state, the probability density function for the total entropy production satisfies Seifert’s integral and detailed fluctuation theorems over finite time trajectories.
