Abstract:
Generalized Langevin equations and fluctuation-dissipation relations are derived for the case of a nonlinear non-Markovian noise. The explicit expressions for the time-dependent friction and diffusion coefficients are presented for the case of general and linear couplings in the coordinate and momentum between the collective harmonic oscillator and heat bath. The long-time tails of correlation functions are investigated in the low- and high-temperature regimes of dissipation for different couplings. The Onsager's regression hypothesis is discussed for the non-Markovian dynamics. The Lindblad theory is justified on the basis of the microscopical model.

Drift Current:
The drift of charge carriers is started by an external electric field (E). Charged particles, such as electrons and holes, experience an acceleration between collisions with lattice atoms. For electrons, this results in a drift velocity (vd) given by:
Entropy Change in Reversible Processes
The statement can be further generalized to prove that entropy is a state function. Take a cyclic process between any two points on a p-V diagram.
