Using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate thermal rectification in mass-graded lattices with a new type on-site potential which has a physical picture of the double-well. By adjusting the ratio of harmonic on-site potential and anharmonic on-site potential, we could obtain the optimal heat transport and the best thermal rectification. In addition, we observe the reversal thermal rectification by changing the ratio of on-site potential and analyzes the mechanism of thermal rectification through the power spectrum. At last, we also study the heat flux and thermal rectification in a different case of average temperature and mass gradient.

Constant External Magnetic Field

We illustrate how, contrary to common belief, transient Fluctuation Relations (FRs) for systems in constant external magnetic field hold without the inversion of the field. Building on previous work providing generalized time-reversal symmetries for systems in parallel external magnetic and electric fields, we observe that the standard proof of these important nonequilibrium properties can be fully reinstated in the presence of net dissipation. This generalizes recent results for the FRs in orthogonal fields—an interesting but less commonly investigated geometry—and enables direct comparison with existing literature. We also present for the first time a numerical demonstration of the validity of the transient FRs with nonzero magnetic field via nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of a realistic model of liquid NaCl.
