Brownian motors: current fluctuations and rectification efficiency.
With this work, we investigate an often neglected aspect of Brownian motor transport, namely, the role of fluctuations of the noise-induced current and its consequences for the efficiency of rectifying noise. In doing so, we consider a Brownian inertial motor that is driven by an unbiased monochromatic, time-periodic force and thermal noise. Typically, we find that the asymptotic, time-, and no...
متن کاملEfficiency of Brownian motors
– The efficiency of different types of Brownian motors is calculated analytically and numerically. We find that motors based on flashing ratchets present a low efficiency and an unavoidable entropy production. On the other hand, a certain class of motors based on adiabatically changing potentials, named reversible ratchets, exhibit a higher efficiency and the entropy production can be arbitrari...
متن کاملInteracting molecular motors: efficiency and work fluctuations.
We investigate the model of "reversible ratchet" with interacting particles, presented by us earlier [F. Slanina, EPL 84, 50009 (2008)]. We further clarify the effect of efficiency enhancement due to interaction and show that it is of energetic origin, rather than a consequence of reduced fluctuations. We also show complicated structures emerging in the interaction and density dependence of the...
متن کاملResonant rectification of fluctuations in a Brownian ratchet
Resonant activation, rectification of fluctuations, and current reversal, are investigated numerically in an asymmetric periodic potential. The results are compared to recent predictions based on the theory of the logarithmic susceptibility. Possible applications are discussed. The phenomenon of resonant activation – a field-induced resonant reduction of the lifetime of a metastable state – was...
متن کاملCurrent and efficiency enhancement in Brownian motors driven by non Gaussian noises
We study Brownian motors driven by colored non Gaussian noises, both in the overdamped regime and in the case with inertia, and analyze how the departure of the noise distribution from Gaussian behavior can affect its behavior. We analyze the problem from two alternative points of view: one oriented mainly to possible technological applications and the other more inspired in natural systems. In...
