Nonequilibrium Phase Transition to Anomalous Diffusion and Transport in a Basic Model of Nonlinear Brownian Motion.
2021
We investigate a basic model of nonlinear Brownian motion in a thermal environment, where nonlinear friction interpolates between viscous Stokes and dry Coulomb friction. We show that superdiffusion and supertransport emerge as a nonequilibrium critical phenomenon when such a Brownian motion is driven out of thermal equilibrium by a constant force. Precisely at the edge of a phase transition, velocity fluctuations diverge asymptotically and diffusion becomes superballistic. The autocorrelation function of velocity fluctuations in this nonergodic regime exhibits a striking aging behavior.
