We consider the classical dynamics of a particle in a one-dimensional space-periodic potential U(X) = U(X+2\pi) under the influence of a time-periodic space-homogeneous external field E(t)=E(t+T). If E(t) is neither symmetric function of t…

We explore the possibility of obtaining unidirectional current in a symmetric (periodic) potential system without the application of any obvious (apparent) externally applied bias. There are many physical models proposed to accomplish this…
The force on a probe induced by a nonequilibrium medium is in general nongradient. We detail the mechanism of that feature via nonequilibrium response theory. The emergence of nongradient forces is due to a systematic "twist" of the excess…
