我们提出了一种将特定类型的反馈过程的影响纳入随机热力学的方法。这些“麦克斯韦妖”反馈不影响系统能量学,而仅影响系统状态之间的能量势垒(以取决于系统状态的方式)。因此,它们具有纯粹的信息性质。我们表明,由此产生的形式主义可以应用于研究的反馈过程中作用于电子转移通过结的热力学效应。版权所有(C)EPLA,2012
We propose a way to incorporate the effect of a specific class of feedback processes into stochastic thermodynamics. These "Maxwell demon" feedbacks do not affect the system energetics but only the energy barriers between the system states (in a way which depends on the system states). They are thus of a purely informational nature. We show that the resulting formalism can be applied to study the thermodynamic effect of a feedback process acting on electron transfers through a junction. Copyright (C) EPLA, 2012
