Entropy production as a tool for characterizing nonequilibrium phase transitions
Entropy production as a tool for characterizing nonequilibrium phase transitions
Nonequilibrium phase transitions can be typified in a similar way to equilibrium systems, for instance, by the use of the order parameter. However, this characterization hides the irreversible character of the dynamics as well as its influence on the phase transition properties. Entropy production has been revealed to be an …
