Brownian motors: noisy transport far from equilibrium

P Reimann - Physics reports, 2002 - Elsevier
Transport phenomena in spatially periodic systems far from thermal equilibrium are
considered. The main emphasis is put on directed transport in so-called Brownian motors …

Artificial Brownian motors: Controlling transport on the nanoscale

P Hänggi, F Marchesoni - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2009 - APS
In systems possessing spatial or dynamical symmetry breaking, Brownian motion combined
with unbiased external input signals, deterministic and random alike, can assist directed …

are driven by ac fields. Along the review we describe the available experimental information …

A superconducting reversible rectifier that controls the motion of magnetic flux quanta

JE Villegas, S Savel'ev, F Nori, EM Gonzalez… - science, 2003 - science.org
We fabricated a device that controls the motion of flux quanta in a niobium superconducting
film grown on an array of nanoscale triangular pinning potentials. The controllable …

Reducing vortex density in superconductors using the 'ratchet effect'

CS Lee, B Janko, I Derenyi, AL Barabási - Nature, 1999 - nature.com
A serious obstacle impeding the application of low-and high-temperature superconductor
devices is the presence of trapped magnetic flux,: flux lines or vortices can be induced by …

Chaotic transport and current reversal in deterministic ratchets

JL Mateos - Physical Review Letters, 2000 - APS
We address the problem of the classical deterministic dynamics of a particle in a periodic
asymmetric potential of the ratchet type. We take into account the inertial term in order to …

Quantum ratchets

P Reimann, M Grifoni, P Hänggi - Physical review letters, 1997 - APS
We investigate quantum Brownian motion in adiabatically rocked ratchet systems. Above a
crossover temperature T c tunneling events are rare, yet they already substantially enhance …

Tuning the Josephson diode response with an ac current

R Seoane Souto, M Leijnse, C Schrade, M Valentini… - Physical Review …, 2024 - APS
Josephson diodes are superconducting elements that show an asymmetry in the critical
current depending on the direction of the current. Here, we theoretically explore how an …
