We investigated a competing driven-diffusive system, identifying bulk-driven phase transitions in a mesoscopic limit. Our study characterizes nonequilibrium steady states and explains observed correlation effects.

Area of Science:

  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Non-equilibrium Physics
  • Condensed Matter Theory

Background:

  • Exclusion processes are fundamental models in statistical mechanics.
  • Understanding systems with competing dynamics is crucial for complex phenomena.
  • Nonequilibrium steady states present unique challenges in theoretical analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate phase transitions in a periodic one-dimensional exclusion process with competing driven and diffusive parts.
  • To characterize the nonequilibrium steady states emerging in a mesoscopic limit.
  • To explain correlation effects observed in simulations.

Main Methods:

  • Mean-field theory for theoretical analysis.
  • Monte Carlo simulations for numerical investigation.

    Conclusions:

    • The interplay of driven and diffusive dynamics leads to distinct phase transitions.
    • Mean-field theory and simulations provide complementary insights into complex systems.
    • Phenomenological approaches can effectively describe emergent correlation behaviors.
