Reaching optimal efficiencies using nano-sized photo-electric devices (2009)
Rutten, Bob, Esposito, Massimiliano, Cleuren, Bart
We study the thermodynamic efficiency of a nano-sized photo-electric device and show that at maximum power output, the efficiency is bounded from above by a result closely related to the...
Fluctuation theorem for entropy production during effusion of a relativistic ideal gas (2008)

Dynamical properties of granular rotors (2008)
The stochastic motion of an arbitrarily shaped rotor, free to rotate around a fixed axis as a result of dissipative collisions with a surrounding thermalized gas, is investigated. A Boltzmann master...

Reversals of chance in paradoxical games (2006)
Amengual, P., Meurs, P., CLEUREN, Bart, Toral, R.
We present two collective games with new paradoxical features when they are combined. Besides reproducing the so-called Parrondo effect, where a winning game is obtained from the alternation of two...
Fluctuation and dissipation of work in a Joule experiment (2006)
CLEUREN, Bart, VAN DEN BROECK, Christian, Kawai, R.
We elucidate the connection between various fluctuation theorems by a microcanonical version of the Crooks relation. We derive the microscopically exact expression for the work distribution in an...

Current reversals in the response behavior of a Brownian particle (2004)
A model for a Brownian particle is introduced which shows multiple current reversals in response to an external static force, i.e. the average particle velocity reverses its direction several times...

CLEUREN, Bart, VAN DEN BROECK, Christian
We calculate analytically the gain for the N-player primary Parrondo paradox and identify the optimal strategy.
Primary Parrondo paradox (2004)
CLEUREN, Bart, VAN DEN BROECK, Christian
A primary model exhibiting the Parrondo paradox is introduced. It requires two rather than three states, involving only superstable fixed points, resulting in very important technical simplifications.
