Symmetric Brownian motor.
In this paper, we present a model of a symmetric Brownian motor which changes the sign of its velocity when the temperature gradient is inverted. The velocity, external work, and efficiency are studied as a function of the temperatures of the baths and other relevant parameters. The motor shows a current reversal when another parameter (a phase shift) is varied. Analytical predictions and resul...
متن کاملFrom Brownian motor to Brownian refrigerator
Cooling techniques have a significant impact not only on our everyday life but also on the advances in science. We have come a long way from the primitive method of evaporative cooling, which our body conveniently uses when we perspire, over the evaporation by expansion of a cooling liquid in domestic refrigerators, to high-tech methods including laser cooling, magnetic cooling, radiative cooli...
متن کاملGranular Brownian motor
An asymmetric object, undergoing dissipative collisions with surrounding particles, acquires a nonzero average velocity. The latter is calculated analytically by an expansion of the Boltzmann equation and the result is compared with Monte Carlo simulations. Copyright c © EPLA, 2007 Introduction. – Brownian motors are spatially asymmetric constructions that, operating under nonequilibrium condit...
متن کاملThermal Brownian motor.
Recently, a thermal Brownian motor was introduced (Van den Broeck et al 2004 Phys. Rev. Lett. 93 090601), for which an exact microscopic analysis is possible. The purpose of this paper is to review some further properties of this construction, and to discuss in particular specific issues including the relation with macroscopic response and the efficiency at maximum power.
متن کاملDemonstration of a controllable three-dimensional Brownian motor in symmetric potentials.
We demonstrate a Brownian motor, based on cold atoms in optical lattices, where isotropic random fluctuations are rectified in order to induce controlled atomic motion in arbitrary directions. In contrast to earlier demonstrations of ratchet effects, our Brownian motor operates in potentials that are spatially and temporally symmetric, but where spatiotemporal symmetry is broken by a phase shif...
