This study investigates oscillator fluctuations using fluctuation theorems. Results show transient and stationary theorems hold, with unique finite-time corrections for second-order Langevin equations.

Area of Science:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Non-equilibrium Physics

Background:

  • Understanding non-equilibrium systems is crucial in physics.
  • Fluctuation theorems provide insights into the thermodynamics of small systems.
  • Previous studies often focused on first-order Langevin equations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To experimentally and theoretically study the work fluctuations of an oscillator driven out of equilibrium.
  • To investigate the applicability of fluctuation theorems to a second-order Langevin equation model.
  • To analyze the effects of periodic forcing on oscillator dynamics.

Main Methods:

  • Modeling oscillator dynamics using a second-order Langevin equation.
  • Experimental investigations of work fluctuations.

  • Theoretical analysis within the framework of fluctuation theorems.
  • Studying both transient and stationary states.

    • Main Results:

    • Both transient and stationary state fluctuation theorems were found to hold.
    • Finite-time corrections for the second-order equation differ significantly from first-order equations.
    • Periodic forcing revealed new and unexpected short-time convergence behaviors.
    • Analytical expressions were derived for all studied cases.

    Conclusions:

    • The study validates fluctuation theorems for a second-order Langevin oscillator model.
    • The findings highlight distinct dynamic behaviors compared to first-order systems.
    • Periodic forcing introduces novel convergence properties requiring further investigation.
