Driven Diffusive Systems: a Tutorial and Recent Developments

  • 537 Accesses

Abstract

The first part of these lectures will be devoted to a general introduction to the statistical mechanics of driven diffusive systems. As models for non-equilibrium steady states, they provide fertile grounds for investigating surprising co-operative behavior absent from systems in thermal equilibrium. The distinctive differences between equilibrium and non-equilibrium steady states will be emphasized. The specific, unexpected properties of the latter will be presented in the context of several varieties of the driven Ising lattice gas. Despite their simplicity and two decades of investigations, many new surprises continue to surface. After a brief summary of the status of these systems, the more recent discoveries will be presented.
