Quasideterministic transport of Brownian particles in an oscillating periodic potential.

چکیده
We consider overdamped Brownian dynamics in a periodic potential with temporally oscillating amplitude. We analyze the transport which shows effective diffusion enhanced by the oscillations and derive approximate expressions for the diffusion coefficient. Furthermore we analyze the effect of the oscillating potential on the transport if additionally a constant force is applied. We show the existence of synchronization regimes at which the deterministic dynamics is in resonance with the potential oscillations, giving rise to transport with extremely low dispersion. We distinguish slow and fast oscillatory driving and give analytical expressions for the mean velocity and effective diffusion.

Asymptotic distributions of periodically driven stochastic systems.
We study the large-time behavior of Brownian particles moving through a viscous medium in a confined potential, and which are further subjected to position-dependent driving forces that are periodic in time. We focus on the case where these driving forces are rapidly oscillating with an amplitude that is not necessarily small. We develop a perturbative method for the high-frequency regime to fi...
متن کاملOrientation dynamics of weakly Brownian particles in periodic viscous flows.
Evolution equations for the orientation distribution of axisymmetric particles in periodic flows are derived in the regime of small but nonzero Brownian rotations. The equations are based on a multiple time scale approach that allows fast computation of the relaxation processes leading to statistical equilibrium. The approach has been applied to the calculation of the effective viscosity of a t...
متن کاملQuantum Brownian motion under rapid periodic forcing
We study the steady state behaviour of a confined quantum Brownian particle subjected to a space-dependent, rapidly oscillating time-periodic force. To leading order in the period of driving, the result of the oscillating force is an effective static potential which has a quantum dissipative contribution, VQD, which adds on to the classical result. This is shown using a coherent state represent...
متن کاملThe rich phenomenology of brownian particles in nonlinear potential landscapes
Non-interacting brownian particles follows Langevin equations fullfiling fluctuation–dissipation relation between friction and thermal noise. Under a linear potential (constant force) Einstein found a relation between diffusion and transport through mobility. In nonlinear potentials this prediction is only satisfied within the limit of very large constant external forces. Moreover, other more i...
متن کاملDirected transport of Brownian particles in a double symmetric potential.
We investigate the dynamics of Brownian particles in internal state-dependent symmetric and periodic potentials. Although no space or time symmetry of the Hamiltonian is broken, we show that directed transport can appear. We demonstrate that the directed motion is induced by breaking the symmetry of the transition rates between the potentials when these are spatially shifted. Finally, we discus...
