We extend the phase field crystal method for nonequilibrium patterning to stochastic systems with external source where transient dynamics is essential. It was shown that at short time scales the system manifests pattern selection processes. These processes are studied by means of the structure function dynamics analysis. Nonequilibrium pattern-forming transitions are analyzed by means of numerical simulations.

We study dynamics of pattern formation in systems belonging to class of reaction-Cattaneo models including persistent diffusion (memory effects of the diffusion flux). It was shown that due to the memory effects pattern seletion process are realized. We have found that oscillatory behavior of the radius of the adsorbate islands is governed by finite propagation speed. It is shown that stabilization of nano-patterns in such models is possible only by nonequilibrium chemical reactions. Oscillatory dynamics of pattern formation is studied in details by numerical simulations.
We investigate the dynamics of single microparticles immersed in water that are driven out of equilibrium in the presence of an additional external colored noise. As a case study, we trap a single polystyrene particle in water with optical tweezers and apply an external electric field with flat spectrum but a finite bandwidth of the order of kHz. The intensity of the external noise controls the amplitude of the fluctuations of the position of the particle, and therefore of its effective temperature. Here we show, in two different nonequilibrium experiments, that the fluctuations of the work done on the particle obey Crooks fluctuation theorem at the equilibrium effective temperature, given that the sampling frequency and the noise cutoff frequency are properly chosen. Our experimental setup can be therefore used to improve the design of microscopic motors towards fast and efficient devices, thus extending the frontiers of nano machinery.
We study nano-pattern formation in a stochastic model for adsorption-desorption processes with interacting adsorbate and hyperbolic transport caused by memory effects. It is shown that at early stages the system manifests pattern selection processes. Stationary stable patterns of nano-size are analyzed. It was found that multiplicative noise satisfying fluctuation-dissipation relation can induce re-entrant pattern formation related to non-equilibrium transitions. According to obtained Fokker-Planck equation kinetics of island sizes in a quasi-stationary limit is discussed. Analytical results are compared with computer simulations.
We examine the Jarzynski equality for a quenching process across the critical point of second-order phase transitions, where absolute irreversibility and the effect of finite-sampling of the initial equilibrium distribution arise on an equal footing. We consider the Ising model as a prototypical example for spontaneous symmetry breaking and take into account the finite sampling issue by introducing a tolerance parameter. For a given tolerance parameter, the deviation from the Jarzynski equality depends onthe reduced coupling constant and the system size. In this work, we show that the deviation from the Jarzynski equality exhibits a universal scaling behavior inherited from the critical scaling laws of second-order phase transitions.
In this paper I am presenting an overview on several topics related to nonequilibrium fluctuations in small systems. I start with a general discussion about fluctuation theorems and applications to physical examples extracted from physics and biology: a bead in an optical trap and single molecule force experiments. Next I present a general discussion on path thermodynamics and consider distributions of work/heat fluctuations as large deviation functions. Then I address the topic of glassy dynamics from the perspective of nonequilibrium fluctuations due to small cooperatively rearranging regions. Finally, I conclude with a brief digression on future perspectives.
