چکیده

We exactly analyze the vibrational properties of a chain of harmonic oscillators in contact with local Langevin heat baths. Nonequilibrium steady-state fluctuations are found to be described by a set of mode temperatures, independent of the strengths of both the harmonic interaction and the viscous damping. Energy is equally distributed between the conjugate variables of a given mode but differently among different modes, in a manner which depends exclusively on the bath temperatures and on the boundary conditions. We outline how bath-temperature profiles can be designed to enhance or reduce fluctuations at specific frequencies in the power spectrum of the chain length.

Energy Transport in the Quantum Harmonic Chain in Contact with Phonon Reservoirs

We study energy transport in the quantum harmonic chain whose ends are in contact with two heat reservoirs at different temperatures. On the assumption that the reservoirs are composed of an infinite number of independent harmonic oscillators we derive the master equation that governs the time evolution of the reduced density matrix for the system. Mean kinetic energy of each particle and energ...

Nonequilibrium stationary state of a harmonic crystal with alternating masses.

We analyze the nonequilibrium steady states (NESS) of a one-dimensional harmonic chain of N atoms with alternating masses connected to heat reservoirs at unequal temperatures. We find that the temperature profile defined through the local kinetic energy T(j)≡/mj oscillates with period two in the bulk of the system. Depending on boundary conditions, either the heavier or the lighter particl...

Crossover from ballistic to diffusive thermal transport in quantum Langevin dynamics study of a harmonic chain connected to self-consistent reservoirs.

Through an exact analysis using quantum Langevin dynamics, we demonstrate the crossover from ballistic to diffusive thermal transport in a harmonic chain with each site connected to Ohmic heat reservoirs. The temperatures of the two heat baths at the boundaries are specified from the beginning, whereas the temperatures of the interior heat reservoirs are determined self-consistently by demandin...

A Green-Resilient Assessment of Industrial Developments in Persian Gulf (Case Study: Natural Gas Production)

Growing global demand for energy, result in depletion of easily access source of fossil fuels. To fulfillment of this huge demand, oil and gas industry expanded to develop offshore oil and gas reservoirs in recent years, which made environmental management challenging. IRAN owns one of the biggest offshore gas reservoir in PERSIAN GULF with high geopolitical and financial importance. Along the ...

Fourier's law from a chain of coupled planar harmonic oscillators under energy-conserving noise.

We study the transport of heat along a chain of particles interacting through a harmonic potential and subject to heat reservoirs at its ends. Each particle has two degrees of freedom and is subject to a stochastic noise that produces infinitesimal changes in the velocity while keeping the kinetic energy unchanged. This is modeled by means of a Langevin equation with multiplicative noise. We sh...
