Optimization of Stochastic Heat Engines in the Underdamped Limit

Nikolas Zoeller examines the working principles and the underlying theoretical foundations of a microscopic heat engine. In particular, he investigates the system's stochastic dynamics in the underdamped regime which has hardly been studied in the past, but will be experimentally feasible in the near future due to recent technological developments.

Nikolas Zoeller examineaza principiile de lucru si fundamentele teoretice care stau la baza unui motor termic microscopic. In special, el investigheaza dinamica stocastica a sistemului in regimul subamortizat, care a fost greu studiata in trecut, dar va fi realizabila experimental in viitorul apropiat din cauza dezvoltarilor tehnologice recente.
