Current reversals in a rocking ratchet: the frequency domain.
Motivated by recent work [D. Cubero et al., Phys. Rev. E 82, 041116 (2010)], we examine the mechanisms which determine current reversals in rocking ratchets as observed when varying the frequency of the drive. We found that a class of these current reversals in the frequency domain is precisely determined by dissipation-induced symmetry breaking. Our experimental and theoretical work thus exten...
متن کاملDynamical analysis of an optical rocking ratchet: theory and experiment.
A thorough analysis of the dynamics in a deterministic optical rocking ratchet [introduced in A. V. Arzola et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 168104 (2011)] and a comparison with experimental results are presented. The studied system consists of a microscopic particle interacting with a periodic and asymmetric light pattern, which is driven away from equilibrium by means of an unbiased time-periodic...
متن کاملRatchet Effects in Active Matter Systems
Ratchet effects can arise for single or collectively interacting Brownian particles on an asymmetric substrate when a net dc transport is produced by an externally applied ac driving force or by periodically flashing the substrate. Recently, a new class of active ratchet systems has been realized through the use of active matter, which are self-propelled units that can be biological or non-biol...
متن کاملVertical and Rocking Impedances for Surface Rigid Foundation Resting on a Transversely Isotropic Half-Space
The vertical and rocking impedances of a rigid foundation resting on a semi-infinite transversely isotropic medium are obtained in the frequency domain. In the present approach, the contact pressure distribution on the soil foundation-interface is approximated by a linear combination of known pressure patterns. It is shown herein that the approximate solutions of spatial displacement distributi...
متن کاملCurrent reversals and synchronization in coupled ratchets.
Current reversal is an intriguing phenomenon that has been central to recent experimental and theoretical investigations of transport based on ratchet mechanism. By considering a system of two interacting ratchets, we demonstrate how the coupling can be used to control the reversals. In particular, we find that current reversal that exists in a single driven ratchet system can ultimately be eli...
