Non-equilibrium Statistical Mechanics of a Two-temperature Ising Ring With Conserved Dynamics

The statistical mechanics of a one-dimensional Ising model in thermal equilibrium is well-established, textbook material. Yet, when driven far from equilibrium by coupling two sectors to two baths at different temperatures, it exhibits remarkable phenomena, including an unexpected 'freezing by...
