Abstract
We consider a one-dimensional gas of two kinds of particles with different masses interacting through short range interactions. The system exhibits an extreme form of the Soret effect: when the ends of the system are in contact with thermal baths of different temperatures, there is complete separation of the species. We show how this separation can be well described in the Boltzmann approximation and discuss the origin of this odd behavior.
