Thermal equilibrium values are reached at asymptotic times by solving the corresponding set of non--linear coupled equations in a Markovian regime. In particular, phase difference thermal values (or, equivalently, the so--called coherence factor) and heat capacity through energy fluctuations are obtained and discussed in terms of tunneling rates and asymmetries.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-10-11T15:01:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "langevin canonical approach", "heat capacity", "thermal averages", "level systems", "phase difference thermal values" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1310.3155P" } } }
