摘要:
在本研究中,我们探究了一种工作物质为处于磁场中、耦合至热库的带电(量子)振子的Ericsson循环。所得的含内置噪声项的量子朗之万方程(quantum Langevin equations)蕴含热力学结构,可用于计算该循环的效率。我们利用系统的稳态热力学函数,数值计算了准静态区域内的循环效率。有趣的是,研究发现通过增大系统-热库耦合强度,可将循环效率调控至最大值。我们还探究了效率随循环运行所依赖的两个磁场值变化的行为。
英文摘要:
In this work, we study an Ericsson cycle whose working substance is a charged (quantum) oscillator in a magnetic field that is coupled to a heat bath. The resulting quantum Langevin equations with built-in noise terms encapsulate a thermodynamic structure and allow for the computation of the efficiency of the cycle. We numerically compute the efficiency of the cycle in the quasi-static regime using the steady-state thermodynamic functions of the system. Interestingly, it is found that by increasing the system-bath coupling strength, the efficiency of the cycle can be tuned to a maximum. We also explore the behavior of the efficiency as a function of the pair of magnetic-field values between which the cycle is operated.
