Bob, No the bath is not a condensate. It can be disordered - quoting the paper:
"With help of the spin-echo phenomenon it is possible to extract work from a disordered ensemble of spins having random frequencies. This ensemble can even be strongly disordered in the sense that the relaxation time T2* induced by the disorder is much smaller than both the T2-time and the response time of the bath." If I can find some additional references on this, I will post them. Very surprising results. -- Lou Pagnucco > Lou-- > > Bob Cook here- > > Do you know if the Bose thermal bath that the second referenced report > talks > about is the same thing as a Bose -Einstein Condensate (BEC)? > > Bob > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Sunday, February 09, 2014 11:16 AM > Subject: RE: [Vo]:Spin this ... > > >> Perhaps there are some counter-intuitive ways to extract heat energy >> from the environment using spin reservoirs.
