Periodically Rocked Thermal Ratchets
Open accessAbstract
We consider overdamped Brownian particles in anisotropic, periodic structures (ratchets) that are rocked periodically. Together with the periodic forcing, white thermal noise can generate a non-zero, macroscopic velocity. By tuning the parameters, the direction of the current can be reversed. Additionally, the current as a function of the driving amplitude exhibits several local maxima at finite driving frequencies. For zero thermal noise, the deterministic current assumes an intriguing structure, reflecting the complex dynamics of particle excursions along the ratchet.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
