Emergent thermophoretic behavior in chemical reaction systems

Paolo De Los Rios, Daniel Maria Busiello, Shiling Liang

Exposing a solution to a temperature gradient can lead to the accumulation of particles on either the cold or warm side. This phenomenon is known as thermophoresis, and its microscopic origin is still debated. Here, we show that thermophoresis can be obser ...

Fluctuation Relations for Dissipative Systems in Constant External Magnetic Field: Theory and Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Sara Bonella, Alessandro Coretti

We illustrate how, contrary to common belief, transient Fluctuation Relations (FRs) for systems in constant external magnetic field hold without the inversion of the field. Building on previous work providing generalized time-reversal symmetries for system ...

Spatio-temporal modeling of the crowding conditions and metabolic variability in microbial communities

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Liliana Angeles Martinez

The metabolic capabilities of the species and the local environment shape the microbial interactions in a community either through the exchange of metabolic products or the competition for the resources. Cells are often arranged in close proximity to each ...

Non-equilibrium kinetics and trajectory thermodynamics of synthetic molecular pumps

Cristian Pezzato

A major goal in the design of synthetic molecular machines is the creation of pumps that can use the input of energy to transport material from a reservoir at low chemical potential to a different reservoir at higher chemical potential, thereby forming and ...

Fluctuation relations for systems in a constant magnetic field

Sara Bonella, Alessandro Coretti

The validity of the fluctuation relations (FRs) for systems in a constant magnetic field is investigated. Recently introduced time-reversal symmetries that hold in the presence of static electric and magnetic fields and of deterministic thermostats are use ...

Energy Relaxation and Thermal Diffusion in Infrared Pump-Probe Spectroscopy of Hydrogen-Bonded Liquids

Michele Ceriotti

Infrared pump-probe spectroscopy provides detailed information about the dynamics of hydrogen-bonded liquids. Due to dissipation of the absorbed pump pulse energy, thermal equilibration dynamics also contributes to the observed signal. Disentangling this c ...

A Fully Integrated 60 mV Cold-Start Circuit for Single Coil DC-DC Boost Converter for Thermoelectric Energy Harvesting

Maher Kayal, François Krummenacher, Mathieu Yves Hervé Coustans

Harvesting energy from ambient energy sources, such as thermal gradients is one solution to address the dramatic increase in energy consumption of personal electronics. While in the field, energy abundantly available in form of heat. The use of primary cel ...

Design and optimization of a high-temperature latent heat storage unit

Sophia Haussener, Ehsan Rezaei

High-temperature latent heat thermal energy storage systems offer compact storage solutions, benefiting from the large latent heat of phase change materials. Common challenges in their design process are the low thermal conductivity of the phase change mat ...

V-band nanosecond-scale pulse reflectometer diagnostic in the TCV tokamak

Stefano Coda, Laurie Porte, Pedro Andres Molina Cabrera

This article describes the realization of a novel approach to short pulse (∼1 ns) reflectometry (SPR) recently implemented in the tokamak configuration variable tokamak. Taking advantage of a fast arbitrary waveform generator and vector-network-analyzer ex ...

Investigation of the heterogeneously catalysed gas phase CO2 hydrogenation reaction: Development of analysis methods and reaction analysis on pristine metal catalysts

Robin Tobias Andreas Mutschler

The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the development of analysis methods that enable an improved investigation of the CO2 hydrogenation reaction such as quantitative mass spectrometry and infrared thermography. Furthermore, the contribution is in the ...

Parametric sensitivity in the Sabatier reaction over Ru/Al2O3 - theoretical determination of the minimal requirements for reactor activation

Andreas Züttel, Noris André Gallandat, Emanuele Moioli

The methanation of carbon dioxide is an option for chemical storage of renewable energy together with greenhouse gas reutilization because it offers a product with a high energy density. The reaction CO2 + 4H(2) CH4 + 2H(2)O is performed on a Ru/Al2O3 cata ...

Acoustic rat-race coupler and its applications in non-reciprocal systems

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Farzad Zangeneh Nejad

Waveguide hybrid junctions, such as Magic-T and rat-race couplers, have been of great interest in microwave technology not only for their applications in power monitoring, but also for design and synthesis of various non-reciprocal devices including electr ...

Multiclass Speed-Density Relationship for Pedestrian Traffic

Michel Bierlaire, Matthieu Marie Cochon de Lapparent, Marija Nikolic, Riccardo Scarinci

We introduce a probabilistic modeling approach for pedestrian speed density relationship. It is motivated by a high scatter in real data that precludes the use of traditional equilibrium relationships. To characterize the observed pattern, we relax the hom ...

Breakdown of the Wiedemann-Franz law in a unitary Fermi gas

Jean-Philippe Brantut

We report on coupled heat and particle transport measurements through a quantum point contact (QPC) connecting two reservoirs of resonantly interacting, finite temperature Fermi gases. After heating one of them, we observe a particle current flowing from c ...

Quantum Correlations under Time Reversal and Incomplete Parity Transformations in the Presence of a Constant Magnetic Field

Gauge Invariance of Thermal Transport Coefficients

Aris Marcolongo, Paolo Umari, Loris Ercole

Thermal transport coefficients are independent of the specific microscopic expression for the energy density and current from which they can be derived through the Green-Kubo formula. We discuss this independence in terms of a kind of gauge invariance resu ...

The establishment of thermal diffusion in an Ar-Kr Lennard-Jones mixture is investigated via dynamical non equilibrium molecular dynamics [G. Ciccotti, G. Jacucci, Phys. Rev. Lett. 35, 789 (1975)]. We observe, in particular, the evolution of the density an ...
