Abstract

Introduction to fluctuation in physics is presented in this chapter. Experimental and theoretical backgrounds of this thesis are reviewed from the viewpoint of stochastic process and its application to statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. In contrast to thermal fluctuation, physics of athermal fluctuation has not been systematically understood so far because it originates from reservoirs in non-equilibrium steady states. In this thesis, statistical mechanics and thermodynamics are developed for athermal fluctuation in terms of non-Gaussian stochastic processes. The motivation of this thesis and the contents of each chapter are briefly summarized here.
