This study presents a novel nonequilibrium model for driven diffusive systems. It reveals a unique phase with broken ergodicity and hysteresis, explained by shock dynamics in an effective potential.

Area of Science:

  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Nonlinear Dynamics

Background:

  • Driven diffusive systems are crucial for modeling diverse phenomena.
  • Nonconservative reaction kinetics introduce complex behaviors.
  • Understanding nonequilibrium steady states is a fundamental challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce a simple one-dimensional driven diffusive model.
  • Investigate its nonequilibrium steady state properties.
  • Characterize novel emergent phenomena like broken ergodicity and hysteresis.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a simple nonequilibrium model.
  • Analysis of reaction kinetics in one dimension.
  • Identification of the primary dynamical mode.

Main Results:

  • The steady state exhibits a unique phase with broken ergodicity and hysteresis.
  • The random motion of a shock in an effective potential is identified as the main dynamical mode.
  • This framework unifies the understanding of phase coexistence and ergodicity breaking.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed model offers a new perspective on nonequilibrium systems.
  • Shock dynamics provide a unified explanation for observed phenomena.
  • The exact phase diagram of the system is derived from this dynamical picture.
