Universal Criticality of Entropy Production in Chemical Reaction Networks
feeds.aps.org · By Kyota Tamano & Keiji Saito ·
The Brief
- Kyota Tamano and Keiji Saito study entropy-production fluctuations in homogeneous reversible chemical reactions.
- The authors argue that entropy-production fluctuations are a sharper probe of nonequilibrium criticality than entropy-production response to variations in chemical affinity.
- The work is published in a journal of the American Physical Society, indexed at DOI 10.1103/j2x1-tlq7.
Why it matters
It offers a way to detect nonequilibrium critical behaviour in chemical reaction networks through fluctuations, which may help physicists and chemists characterise far-from-equilibrium systems.
