Entropy production of a bound nonequilibrium interface

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study the entropy production of a microscopic model for nonequilibrium wetting. We show that, in contrast to the equilibrium case, a bound interface in a nonequilibrium steady state produces entropy. Interestingly, in some regions of the phase diagram a bound interface produces more entropy than a free interface. Moreover, by solving exactly a four-site system, we find that the first derivative of the entropy production with respect to the control parameter displays a discontinuity at the critical point of the wetting transition.
