Entropy Production Associated with Aggregation into Granules in a Subdiffusive Environment
We study the entropy production that is associated with the growing or shrinking of a small granule in, for instance, a colloidal suspension or in an aggregating polymer chain. A granule will fluctuate in size when the energy of binding is comparable to k B T , which is the “quant...
