Poissonian noise assisted transport in periodic systems

Statistical Mechanics 2016-06-01 v1

Abstract

We revisit the problem of transport of a harmonically driven inertial particle moving in a {\it symmetric} periodic potential, subjected to {\it unbiased} non-equilibrium generalized white Poissonian noise and coupled to thermal bath. Statistical asymmetry of Poissonian noise is sufficient to induce transport and under presence of external harmonic driving this system exhibits a phenomenon of multiple velocity reversals. Consequently, one can manipulate the direction of transport just by adjusting the parameters of externally applied forces.
