Asymmetric thermal relaxation in driven systems: Rotations go opposite ways
Cai Dieball, Gerrit Wellecke, Aljaž Godec
Abstract
When a driven system relaxes to the temperature of the surroundings upon a temperature quench, heating is faster than cooling. Moreover, rotational motions emerge that occur in opposite directions during heating and cooling.
