Stochastic Density Functional Theory for Electrolytes Out of Equilibrium
The dynamics of interacting Brownian particles can be described by a stochastic
equation for the density field. I will show how the linearised version of this
equation can be used to recover, very simply, certain of Onsager's results
on electrolyte conductivity. In addition I will show how it can analyse the
out of equilibrium thermal Casimir effect between parallel plates containing
Brownian charges, in particular the case where the plates are held at different temperatures
and when an electric field drives a current in one of the plates.
