Exchange Fluctuations in a Nonequilibrium Lorentz Gas

Аннотация

It has been shown that a correlation mechanism that is based on the exchange interaction and destroys the relation between distribution functions and response (Price relation) occurs in a nonequilibrium Lorentz gas (particles interact only with the thermostat). The physical nature of this phenomenon is that the scattering of particles of the gas in the same state on a single particle of the thermostat creates a flux of correlated pairs, which depends on the form of a nonequilibrium distribution function, making impossible the existence of a universal relation between distribution functions and response.
