Hot Brownian Motion

Hot brownian motion.

We derive the markovian description for the nonequilibrium brownian motion of a heated nanoparticle in a simple solvent with a temperature-dependent viscosity. Our analytical results for the generalized fluctuation-dissipation and Stokes-Einstein relations compare favorably with measurements of laser-heated gold nanoparticles and provide a practical rational basis for emerging photothermal trac...

Fiber Brownian Motion and the “hot Spots” Problem

1. Introduction. The main purpose of this article is to give a stronger counterexample to the " hot spots " conjecture than the one presented in Burdzy and Werner [7]. Along the way we define and partly analyze a new process, which we call fiber Brownian motion, and which may have some interest of its own. Consider a Euclidean domain that has a discrete spectrum for the Laplacian with Neumann b...

FIBER BROWNIAN MOTION AND THE “ HOT SPOTS ” PROBLEM Richard

We show that in some planar domains both extrema of the second Neumann eigenfunction lie strictly inside the domain. The main technical innovation is the use of “fiber Brownian motion,” a process which switches between two-dimensional and one-dimensional evolution.

On the Hot Spots of a Catalytic Super-brownian Motion

Brownian Brownian Motion – I

A classical model of Brownian motion consists of a heavy molecule submerged into a gas of light atoms in a closed container. In this work we study a 2D version of this model, where the molecule is a heavy disk of mass M ≫ 1 and the gas is represented by just one point particle of mass m = 1, which interacts with the disk and the walls of the container via elastic collisions. Chaotic behavior of...
