Ratchet effect in an asymmetric two-dimensional system of Janus particles
P Kalinay, F Slanina - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
We consider a disk-like Janus particle self-driven by a force of constant magnitude f, but an
arbitrary direction depending on the stochastic rotation of the disk. The particle diffuses in a …
