A Symmetry Property of Momentum Distribution Functions in the Nonequilibrium Steady State of Lattice Thermal Conduction
Akira Ueda, Shinji Takesue
Abstract
We study a symmetry property of momentum distribution functions in the steady state of heat conduction. When the equation of motion is symmetric under change of signs for all dynamical variables, the distribution function is also symmetric. This symmetry can be broken by introduction of an asymmetric term in the interaction potential or the on-site potential, or employing the thermal walls as heat reservoirs. We numerically find differences of behavior of the models with and without the on-site potential.
