Asymptotic Behavior of Thermal Nonequilibrium Steady States for a Driven Chain of Anharmonic Oscillators
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a model of heat conduction introduced in [6], which consists of a finite nonlinear chain coupled to two heat reservoirs at different temperatures. We study the low temperature asymptotic behavior of the invariant measure. We show that, in this limit, the invariant measure is characterized by a variational principle. The main technical ingredients are some control theoretic arguments to extend the Freidlin–Wentzell theory of large deviations to a class of degenerate diffusions.

Normal heat conductivity in a periodic chain of anharmonic oscillators
We consider a periodic chain of coupled and pinned anharmonic oscillators subject to a nonequilibrium random forcing. Assuming that the six-point correlation functions of the stationary state factorize in terms of the two-point correlation functions, we show that the heat current going through the system is consistent with Fourier law and that the conductivity behaves as κ ∼ 1 λ2T2 where λ is t...
متن کاملVibrational Distribution Functions in Anharmonic Oscillators
A model has been developed to calculate the steady state vibrational distribution of an anharmonic oscillator under conditions of thermal nonequilibrium. The model includes vibration-vibration and vibrationtranslation collisional processes as well as radiative decay. Numerical calculations are shown to be in reasonably good agreement with experimental data obtained in electrically excited N^-CO...
متن کاملMacroscopic energy diffusion for a chain of anharmonic oscillators
We study the energy diffusion in a chain of anharmonic oscillators where the Hamiltonian dynamics is perturbed by a local energy conserving noise. We prove that under diffusive rescaling of space-time, energy fluctuations diffuse and evolve following an infinite dimensional linear stochastic differential equation driven by the linearized heat equation. We also give variational expressions for t...
متن کاملTransport Properties of a Chain of Anharmonic Oscillators with Random Flip of Velocities
We consider the stationary states of a chain of n anharmonic coupled oscillators, whose deterministic hamiltonian dynamics is perturbed by random independent sign change of the velocities (a random mechanism that conserve energy). The extremities are coupled to thermostats at different temperature Tl and Tr and subject to constant forces τl and τr . If the forces differ τl 6= τr the center of m...
متن کاملA perturbative approach for the crystal chains with self - consistent stochastic reservoirs
We consider the harmonic chain of oscillators with self-consistent stochastic reservoirs and give a new proof for the finitude of its thermal conductivity in the steady state. The approach, with involves an integral representation for the correlations (heat flow) and a perturbative analysis, is quite general and extendable to the study of anharmonic systems.
