We demonstrate a Brownian motor, based on cold atoms in optical lattices, where isotropic random fluctuations are rectified in order to induce controlled atomic motion in arbitrary directions. In contrast to earlier demonstrations of…

We discuss the Brownian thermal noise which affects the cantilever dynamics of a dAFM (dynamic atomic force microscope), both when it works in air and in presence of water. Our scope is to accurately describe the cantilever dynamics, and to…
