Quantum Otto heat engines on XYZ spin working medium with DM and KSEA interactions: Operating modes and efficiency at maximal work output
Abstract
The magnetic Otto thermal machine based on a two-spin-1/2 XYZ working fluid in the presence of an inhomogeneous magnetic field and antisymmetric Dzyaloshinsky--Moriya (DM) and symmetric Kaplan--Shekhtman--Entin-Wohlman--Aharony (KSEA) interactions is considered. Its possible modes of operation are found and classified. The efficiencies of engines at maximum power are estimated for various choices of model parameters. There are cases when these efficiencies exceed the Novikov value. New additional points of local minima of the total work are revealed and the mechanism of their occurrence is analyzed.
