Geometric Heat Flux of Classical Thermal Transport in Interacting Open
Systems
   [PDF]

Jie Ren, Sha Liu, Baowen Li
We study classical heat conduction in a dissipative open system composed of interacting oscillators. By exactly solving a twisted Fokker-Planck equation which describes the full counting statistics of heat flux flowing through the system, we identify the geometric-phase-like effect and examine its impact on the classical heat transport. Particularly, we find that the nonlinear interaction as well as the closely related temperature-dependence of system-parameters are crucial in manifesting the geometric-phase contribution of heat flux. Finally, we propose an electronic experiment based on $RC$ circuits to verify our theoretical predictions.
