Onsager Reciprocity in Premelting Solids
نویسندگان
چکیده
The diffusive motion of foreign particles dispersed in a premelting solid is analyzed within the framework of irreversible thermodynamics. We determine the mass diffusion coefficient, thermal diffusion coefficient and Soret coefficient of the particles in the dilute limit, and find good agreement with experimental data. In contrast to liquid suspensions, the unique nature of premelting solids allows us to derive an expression for the Dufour coefficient and independently verify the Onsager reciprocal relation coupling diffusion to the flow of heat.

Fluctuation theorem and Onsager reciprocity relations.
The Onsager and higher-order reciprocity relations are derived from a fluctuation theorem for nonequilibrium reactions ruled by the chemical master equation. The fluctuation theorem is obtained for the generating function of the macroscopic fluxes between chemiostats maintaining the system in a nonequilibrium steady state. The macroscopic affinities associated with the fluxes are identified by ...
متن کاملOnsager Relations and Hydrodynamic Transport in a Submicron Silicon Diode
An Extended hydrodynamic model describing carrier transport in semiconductor devices is checked with the Onsager Reciprocity Principle, which is one of the fundamental principles of Linear Irreversible Thermodynamic. Monte Carlo simulations for a one-dimensional n + ? n ? n + silicon diode are shown.
متن کاملOn the Necessity of Positive Semi-Definite Conductivity and Onsager Reciprocity in Modeling Heat Conduction in Anisotropic Media
It is demonstrated by a concise standard derivation, motivated by principles of rational continuum mechanics and irreversible thermodynamics augmented by novel detailed examples, that for heat conduction in linearly anisotropic solids: (1) common restrictions placed on the form of the thermal conductivity tensor are insufficient to guarantee satisfaction of the second law of thermodynamics, and...
متن کاملPremelting Dynamics
When the free surfaces of most solids approach their bulk melting temperatures from below, the molecular structure of the material gives way to a disordered structure with some attributes of both the solid and liquid phases. When the temperature is sufficiently close to that of bulk transition, the surface melts and literally flows as a viscous fluid. This phenomenon, called interfacial premelt...
متن کاملNonlocal thermoelectric effects and nonlocal Onsager relations in a three-terminal proximity-coupled superconductor-ferromagnet device.
We study thermal and charge transport in a three-terminal setup consisting of one superconducting and two ferromagnetic contacts. We predict that the simultaneous presence of spin filtering and of spin-dependent scattering phase shifts at each of the two interfaces will lead to very large nonlocal thermoelectric effects both in clean and in disordered systems. The symmetries of thermal and elec...
