  4. Crooks Fluctuation Theorem (CFT, G. E. Crooks 1998) CFT has drawn a lot of attention because of its usefulness in experiment. This theorem makes it possible to experimentally measure the free energy difference of the system during a non-equilibrium process. Page 4

  5. Why fluctuation theorem is important? Verification of the Crooks fluctuation theorem and recovery of RNAfolding free energies Collin, Bustmanteet. al. Nature(2005) Page 5

  6. Idea • Consider a particle trapped in a 1D harmonic potential where is a trap strength of the potential. • When the trap strength is either increasing or decreasing isothermally in time, the particle is driven from equilibrium. • Since the size of the system is finite, one can test the fluctuation theorems in this system. • We measure the workdistribution and determine the free energy difference of the process by using Crooks fluctuation theorem. Page 6

  7. Free Energy Difference of the System forward backward • Harmonic oscillator (in 1D) • Hamiltonian is given by • Partition function is • Free energy difference between two equilibrium states at the same temperature is • Forward process : , Backward process: • During these processes: Page 7

  10. Single Particle Gas under a Harmonic Potential Quasi-static process (Equilibrium process) • Thermodynamic work: Here, (external parameter) • dk/dt→0 : (Quasi-static process) x Page 10

  11. Single Particle Gas under a Harmonic Potential Non-equilibrium process(dk/dt=finite) • Forward process(dk/dt>0) • Backward process(dk/dt<0) Page 11

  12. Single Particle under a Harmonic Potential  Extreme limit of non-equilibrium process (dk/dt=infinite) • The system remembers its previous state. • Consider a sudden change limit(dk/dt→) • The particle is still at initial position. • Position distribution is given by the initial equilibrium Boltzmann distribution • Using Equi-partition theorem • Using recent theoretical result, Kwon, Noh, Park, PRE 88 (2013) Page 12

  14. Optical Tweezers Developed by A. Ashkin By strongly focusing a laser beam, one can create a large electric field gradient which can create a force on a colloidal particle with a radial displacement from the center of the trap. Potential Energy For small displacements the force is a Hooke’s law force. O Page 14

  15. Control of the Trap Strength The optical trap strength is proportional to the laser power. Therefore, when the laser power is changed linearly in time, the optical strength should be increased or decreased linearly in time. The laser power is controlled using LCVR(Liquid Crystal Variable Retarders) which allows manipulation of polarization states by applying an electric field to the liquid crystal. Page 15

  16. Laser Power Stability Since the optical trap strength is proportional to the laser power, it is important to have a stable laser power in time. A feedback control of the laser power is used to reduce the long time fluctuation of the laser power. During the experiment, the fluctuation of laser power is less than ±0.5%. Page 16

  23. Experimental Method backward forward • Using a PMMA particle of 2µm diameter in do-decane solvent • Linearly changing the trap strength in time • From 2.87 to 0.94pN/µm (backward process) • From 0.94 to 2.87pN/µm (forward process) • Theoretical free energy difference : • Data sampling :10kS/s (sampling in every 100sec) • Repetition is over 40000 times • Total number of steps : 360 • Rate of changing trap strength(pN/µm·s) : 0.268, 0.536, 2.68, 5.36 by changing the time difference between the neighboring steps from 1msec to 20msec Page 23
