We study the transport properties for a walker on a ratchet potential. The walker consists of two particles coupled by a bistable potential that allow the interchange of the order of the particles while moving through a one-dimensional…
We demonstrate the operation of a quantum ratchet in the absence of dissipative processes within the observation time (Hamiltonian regime). An atomic rubidium Bose-Einstein condensate is exposed to a sawtooth-like optical lattice potential,…
We present a detailed study of the transport and the efficiency of a ratchet system in a periodic potential in the presence of correlated noises. The current and the efficiency of the system are investigated. It is found that, when the…
Transport in a one-dimensional symmetric device can be activated by the combination of thermal noise and a bi-harmonic drive. For the study case of an overdamped Brownian particle diffusing on a periodic one-dimensional substrate, we…
Directed transport of interacting active (self-propelled)Brownian particles is numerically investigated in confined geometries (entropic barriers). The self-propelled velocity can break thermodynamical equilibrium and induce the directed…
The thermal ratchets model toggles a spatially periodic asymmetric potential to rectify random walks and achieve transport of diffusing particles. We numerically solve the governing equation for the full dynamics of an infinite 1D ratchet…
We consider one-dimensional asymmetric exclusion processes with a simple attractive interaction, where the distance between consecutive particles is not allowed to exceed a certain limit and investigate the consequences of this coupling on…
We study an inertial Brownian particle moving in a symmetric periodic substrate, driven by a zero-mean biharmonic force and correlated thermal noise. The Brownian motion is described in terms of a Generalized Langevin Equation with an…
The muscle contraction, operation of ATP synthase, maintaining the shape of a cell are believed to be secured by motor proteins, which can be modelled using the Brownian ratchet mechanism. We consider the randomly flashing ratchet model of…
In a model of $N$ volume-excluding spheres in a $d$-dimensional tube, we consider how differences between particles in their drift velocities, diffusivities, and sizes influence the steady state distribution and axial particle current. We…
We study origin, parameter optimization, and thermodynamic efficiency of isothermal rocking ratchets based on fractional subdiffusion within a generalized non-Markovian Langevin equation approach. A corresponding multi-dimensional Markovian…
We study directed transport in a classical deterministic dissipative system. We consider the generic case of mixed phase space and show that large ratchet currents can be generated thanks to the presence, in the Hamiltonian limit, of…
We analyze the dynamics of Brownian ratchets in a confined environment. The motion of the particles is described by a Fick-Jakobs kinetic equation in which the presence of boundaries is modeled by means of an entropic potential. The cases…
Quantum mechanical motion of a particle in a periodic asymmetric potential is studied theoretically at zero temperature. It is shown based on semi-classical approximation that the tunneling probability from one local minimum to the next…
The concept of ratchets, driven asymmetric periodic structures giving rise to directed particle flow, has recently been generalized to a quantum ratchet mechanism for spin currents mediated through spin-orbit interaction. Here we consider…
We obtain ratchet effect in inertial structureless systems in symmetric periodic potentials where the asymmetry comes from the nonuniform friction offered by the medium and driven by symmetric periodic forces. In the adiabatic limit the…
Ratchets are devices able to rectify an otherwise oscillatory behavior by exploiting an asymmetry of the system. In rocking ratchets the asymmetry is induced through a proper choice of external forces and modulations of nonlinear symmetric…
Ratchet models are prominent candidates to describe the transport phenomenum in nature in the absence of external bias. This work analyzes the parameter space of a discrete ratchet model and gives direct connections between chaotic domains…
We present analytic results for the current in a system moving in an arbitrary periodic potential and driven by weak Gaussian noise with an arbitrary power spectrum which are valid to order (t_c/t_r)^2, where t_c is the largest…
We study transport of an inertial Brownian particle moving in a symmetric and periodic one-dimensional potential, and subjected to both a symmetric, unbiased external harmonic force as well as biased dichotomic noise $\eta(t)$ also known as…
