Paradoxical motion of a single Brownian particle: absolute negative mobility.
We consider a single, classical Brownian particle in a spatially symmetric periodic system far from thermal equilibrium, which can be readily realized experimentally. Upon application of an external static force F, the average particle velocity is negative for F>0 and positive for F<0 (absolute negative mobility). The various physical mechanisms responsible for such a paradoxical effect are ide...
متن کاملTransient response of a Brownian particle with general damping.
We study the transient response of a Brownian particle with general damping in a system of metastable potential well. The escape rate is evaluated as a function of time after an infinite wall is removed from the potential barrier. It takes a relaxation time for the rate to reach its limit value and this rate relaxation time differs from the relaxation time of the majority of the probability aro...
متن کاملNonlinear noninertial response of a brownian particle in a tilted periodic potential to a strong ac force
The solution of the Langevin equation describing the dynamics of a Brownian particle in a tilted periodic potential in the overdamped limit is obtained in terms of a matrix continued fraction, allowing us to evaluate statistical averages governing the nonlinear response to a strong ac force. Pronounced nonlinear effects are observed for large values of the ac force. For a weak ac force and low ...
متن کاملVelocity Correlations of a Brownian Particle Velocity Correlations of a Brownian Particle
A new derivation of the velocity correlations of a thermally fluctuating Brownian particle is shown by direct calculation from a stochastic hydrodynamic model in which the fluid-particle coupling is treated in a simple manner. The model significantly simplifies the calculation of statistics of a particle and has the virtue of being readily amenable to numerical simulation. To show that the mode...
متن کاملDoes a Brownian particle equilibrate?
– The conventional equations of Brownian motion can be derived from the first principles to order λ = m/M , where m and M are the masses of a bath molecule and a Brownian particle respectively. We discuss the extension to order λ using a perturbation analysis of the Kramers-Moyal expansion. For the momentum distribution such method yields an equation whose stationary solution is inconsistent wi...
