F. Ritort, Fluctuations in open systems , Physics, vol. 2, 43 (2009). Small nonequilibrium systems behave quite unexpectedly when in contact with a thermal reservoir. However, all of them, from molecular machines to molecular magnets, are described by a single fluctuation theorem. Download it here.
A. Mossa, J. M Huguet and F. Ritort, Investigating the thermodynamics of small biosystems with optical tweezers, Physica E (Low-dimensional Systems and Nanostructures), doi:10.1016/j.physe.2009.06.055. We present two examples of how single-molecule experimental techniques applied to biological systems can give insight into problems within the scope of equilibrium and nonequilibrium mesoscopic thermodynamics. The first example is the mapping of the free energy landscape of a macromolecule, the second the experimental verification of Crooks fluctuation theorem. In both cases the experimental setup comprises optical tweezers and DNA molecules.Download it here.
F. Ritort, Nonequilibrium fluctuations in small systems: from physics to biology, Advances in Chemical Physics, vol. 137, 31-123 (2008). Ed. Stuart. A. Rice, Wiley publications. A general review paper on nonequilibrium fluctuations in small systems, fluctuation theorems and applications to examples extracted from physics and biology. It presents a general discussion on path thermodynamics, work/heat fluctuations and large deviation functions. Finally it briefly addresses the topic of glassy dynamics.Download it here.
F. Ritort, The nonequilibrium thermodynamics of small systems,Comptes Rendus Physique,8 (2007) 528-539.Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of small systems describes energy exchange processes between a system and its environment in the low energy range of a few kBT where Brownian fluctuations are dominant. In this article I discuss some aspects about fluctuation theorems and path thermodynamics that call for the necessity of a better understanding of large deviations in nonequilibrium statistical physics. I also emphasize how single molecule experiments are a valuable source of knowledge and information that can greatly contribute to the unveiling of the most important and relevant questions in this exciting field of research.
