Non-equilibrium statistical mechanics: from a paradigmatic model to biological transport

TL;DR: The totally asymmetric exclusion process as discussed by the authors is regarded as a paradigmatic model for non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, much like the role the Ising model played for equilibrium statistical mechanics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temperature in non-equilibrium states: a review of open problems and current proposals

TL;DR: In this paper, the conceptual problems arising in the definition and measurement of temperature in non-equilibrium states are discussed in situations where the local equilibrium hypothesis is no longer satisfactory, and a wide review of proposals is offered on effective nonequilibrium temperatures and their application to ideal and real gases, electromagnetic radiation, nuclear collisions, granular systems, glasses, sheared fluids, amorphous semiconductors and turbulent fluids.

Non-equilibrium statistical mechanics: From a paradigmatic model to biological transport

TL;DR: This work provides detailed mathematical analyses of a one-dimensional continuous-time lattice gas, the totally asymmetric exclusion process, regarded as a paradigmatic model for NESM, much like the role the Ising model played for equilibrium statistical mechanics.

Advances of and by phase-field modelling in condensed-matter physics

TL;DR: A critical overview of the conceptual background of the phase- field method, the most relevant fields of condensed-matter physics that have been approached using phase-field modelling, as well as the respective model formulations and the insight gained so far via their simulation and analysis are provided.

The steady-state format of global climate

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the preferred steady-state mode is one of maximum entropy production for small-scale convective heat transfer processes and that the same constraint may apply on the much larger scale of the earth-atmosphere system.
