Double entropic stochastic resonanceP. Sekhar Burada1,2, •Gerhard Schmid2, and Peter Hänggi21MPI for the Physics of Complex Systems, Dresden, Germany — 2University of Augsburg, Augsburg, Germany

We demonstrate the appearance of a purely entropic stochastic resonance (ESR). This new phenomena is occurring in geometrically confined systems [1,2], where the irregular boundaries cause entropic barriers. The interplay between a periodic input signal, a constant bias and intrinsic thermal noise, leads to a resonant ESR phenomenon in which feeble signals become amplified. This new phenomenon is characterized by the presence of two peaks in the spectral amplification at corresponding optimal values of the noise strength. The nature of ESR, occurring when the origin of the barrier is entropic rather than energetic, offers new perspectives for novel investigations and potential applications. ESR by itself presents yet another case where one constructively can harvest noise in driven nonequilibrium systems.
