Heat flux direction controlled by power-law oscillators under non-Gaussian fluctuations

Heat flux direction controlled by power-law oscillators under non-Gaussian fluctuations

Chains of particles coupled through anharmonic interactions and subject to non-Gaussian baths can exhibit paradoxical outcomes such as heat currents flowing from colder to hotter reservoirs. Aiming to explore the role of generic non-harmonicities in mediating the contributions of non-Gaussian fluctuations to the direction of heat propagation, we consider a …
