Strong non-equilibrium conditions eventually drive a system away from its linear response regime, deeply affecting the properties of the underlying equilibrium phase. A well known example is the Rayleigh-Bernard convection arising for classical fluids that develop convection rolls of a specific wave-length. We report on recent results regarding effects of large bias voltages applied across a half-filled Hubbard chain. At equilibrium this system shows a charge gap and strong antiferromagnetic correlations. We show that out of equilibrium the wave-vector maximizing the spin-susceptibility shifts from its equilibrium antiferromagnetic value q=π as a function of the applied voltage and temperature. We describe a rich set of phases induced by the interplay between electron-electron interactions and non-equilibrium conditions. Some of phases found are examples of non-equilibrium-induced spacial pattern formation. We comment on the properties and stability of these phases. Finally we argue that, although no symmetry breaking arises in the 1D system, these results suggest that a spatially modulated charge gap may be observed experimentally by STM in engineered atomic chains and nano-wires.
