    Time dependent current in a nonstationary environment: a microscopic approach
    Bhattacharya, S.; Banik, S. K.; Chattopadhyay, S.; Chaudhuri, J. R. (AIP Publishing, 2008-06)
    Based on a microscopic system reservoir model, where the associated bath is not in thermal equilibrium, we simulate the nonstationary Langevin dynamics and obtain the generalized nonstationary fluctuation dissipation relation (FDR) which asymptotically reduces to the traditional form. Our Langevin dynamics incorporates non-Markovian process also, the origin of which lies in the decaying term of the nonstationary FDR. We then follow the stochastic dynamics of the Langevin particle based on the Fokker-Planck-Smoluchowski description in ratchet potential to obtain the steady and time dependent current in an analytic form. We also examine the influence of initial excitation and subsequent relaxation of bath modes on the transport of the Langevin particle to show that the nonequilibrium nature of the bath leads to both strong nonexponential dynamics as well as nonstationary current.

    Transport and bistable kinetics of a brownian particle in a nonequilibrium environment
    Chaudhuri, J. R.; Banik, S. K.; Chattopadhyay, S.; Chaudhury, P. (AIP Publishing, 2008-11)
    A system reservoir model, where the associated reservoir is modulated by an external colored random force, is proposed to study the transport of an overdamped Brownian particle in a periodic potential. We then derive the analytical expression for the average velocity, mobility, and diffusion rate. The bistable kinetics and escape rate from a metastable state in the overdamped region are studied consequently. By numerical simulation we then demonstrate that our analytical escape rate is in good agreement with that of the numerical result.
