Stochastic thermodynamics of self-oscillations: the electron shuttle

Self-oscillation is a phenomenon studied across many scientific disciplines, including the engineering of efficient heat engines and electric generators. We investigate the single electron shuttle, a model nano-scale system that exhibits a spontaneous transition towards self-oscillation, from a ther...
