Pumping single-file colloids: Absence of current reversal.
We consider the single-file motion of colloidal particles interacting via short-range repulsion and placed in a traveling wave potential that varies periodically in time and space. Under suitable driving conditions, a directed time-averaged flow of colloids is generated. We obtain analytic results for the model using a perturbative approach to solve the Fokker-Planck equations. The predictions ...
متن کاملSingle-file diffusion of colloids in one-dimensional channels
Single-file diffusion, prevalent in many processes, refers to the restricted motion of interacting particles in narrow micropores with the mutual passage excluded. A single-filing system was developed by confining colloidal spheres in one-dimensional circular channels of micrometer scale. Optical video microscopy study shows evidence that the particle self-diffusion is non-Fickian for long peri...
متن کاملSingle-file diffusion and kinetics of template-assisted assembly of colloids.
We report computer simulation studies of the kinetics of ordering of a two-dimensional system of particles on a template with a one-dimensional periodic pattern. In equilibrium, one obtains a reentrant liquid-solid-liquid phase transition as the strength of the substrate potential is varied. We show that domains of crystalline order grow as ~t(1/z), with z~4, with a possible crossover to z~2 at...
متن کاملControl of Current Reversal in Single and Multiparticle Inertia Ratchets
We have studied the deterministic dynamics of underdamped single and multiparticle ratchets associated with current reversal, as a function of the amplitude of the external driving force. Two experimentally inspired methods are used. In the first method the same initial condition is used for each new value of the amplitude. In the second method the last position and velocity is used as the new ...
متن کاملSingle-parameter pumping in graphene
We propose a quantum pump mechanism based on the particular properties of graphene, namely chirality and bipolarity. The underlying physics is the excitation of evanescent modes entering a potential barrier from one lead, while those from the other lead do not reach the driving region. This induces a large nonequilibrium current with electrons stemming from a broad range of energies, in contras...
