This study investigates one-dimensional asymmetric simple exclusion processes (ASEPs) coupled to reservoirs. Diffusive compartments create bottlenecks, altering system phases and current behavior.

Area of Science:

  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Complex Systems
  • Non-equilibrium Physics

Background:

  • Asymmetric simple exclusion processes (ASEPs) model particle transport in various systems.
  • Coupling ASEPs to external reservoirs introduces complex dynamics.
  • Understanding phase transitions and transport properties is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of diffusive compartments on one-dimensional ASEPs.
  • To determine how diffusive bottlenecks affect system phases and particle current.
  • To map phase diagrams using theoretical and simulation approaches.

Main Methods:

  • Self-consistent mean-field theory applied to ASEPs.
  • Monte Carlo simulations to validate theoretical predictions.

  • Analysis of particle density and current under diffusive coupling.
  • Main Results:

    • Diffusive compartments act as bottlenecks when driven compartment velocity is high.
    • Boundary bottlenecks eliminate the maximal current phase.
    • Interior bottlenecks create a new phase with distinct densities and bottleneck-defined maximal current.

    Conclusions:

    • Diffusive bottlenecks significantly alter ASEP behavior, leading to new phases.
    • The position of the diffusive bottleneck (boundary vs. interior) dictates the emergent phenomena.
    • This work provides insights into transport phenomena in driven diffusive systems.
