Landauer's blow-torch effect in systems with entropic potential.

摘要: We consider local heating of a part two-dimensional bilobal enclosure varying cross section confining system overdamped Brownian particles. Since in higher dimension results an entropic potential lower dimension, alters the relative stability states. show that this blow-torch effect modifies significant way so resultant effective carries both features variation width confinement and temperature along direction transport. The reduced probability distribution transport calculated by full numerical simulations two dimensions agrees well with our analytical findings. extent population transfer steady state quantified terms integrated residence particles either lobes exhibits interesting mean position heated region. Our study reveals around particular zones given lobe maximizes to other.
