Thermal rectification in the one-dimensional nonlinearly graded rotor lattice robust in the thermodynamical limit
Recently, it has been shown that in graded systems, thermal rectification (TR) effect may remain in the thermodynamical limit. Here, by taking the one-dimensional rotor lattice as an illustrating model, we investigate how the graded structure may affect the TR efficiency. In particular, we consider the case where the interaction …
