Introduction to the Ratchet effect

Introduction

Ratchet transport phenomena means a net directed motion of particles or solitons induced by zero − average forces. i.e. presence of the thermal noise and some prothotipical perturbation can drives the system out of the equilibrium (directed transport). The ratchet effect usually occurs when there is a break of at less one of main symmetries of the system: temporal symmetries: shift-symmetry (caused by time dependent forces) spatial symmetries (caused by ratchet potential ) We focus in the breaking of the temporal symetries

Introduction to the Ratchet effect

Introduction

Elements present in the physical system: Potential U(x) Friction force η ˙ x Force f(t) if any Noise ξ(t) The quantity of foremost in the context of transport in periodic systems is the particle current v: v = ˙ x The ratchet optimization is given by the maximun of average current of the particle. We study ratchet current and its relationship with the kind of driving force f(t): the driving force shape that maximizes ˙ x.

Introduction to the Ratchet effect

Introduction

The simplest system is a particle or soliton moving in a potential under influence of a friction force and noise. According to Newton’s second law: m¨ x + U′(x) + η ˙ x − f (t) = ξ(t), where the left-hand represent the deterministic, conservative part of the particles dynamics, while the right-hand side account for the effects of the thermal environment.

Introduction to the Ratchet effect

The system is assumed to be overdamped, that is, the inertial term ¨ x is negligible and we arrive to: η ˙ x + U′(x) = f (t) + ξ(t).

Motivation

A few works have investigated the dependence of the ratchet current on amplitudes and phases of forces. We focus in two of them.

  • 1. The first one:

conjectures there exist a particular force waveform that optimally enhances directed transported. proposes a measure of ’degree of symmetry breaking’ (DSB). He defines the DSB of the symmetries of the force f(t) by the expresion: Ds(f ) ≡ −f (t + T/2) f (t) T ≡ (1) uses the biharmonic force to prove that (1) exhibits tha same quantitaive behaviour as a funtion of the symmetry-breaking parameters

Motivation

consideres tha case of the elliptic force: fellip(t) = ǫf (t; T, m, θ) ≡ ǫsn(Ωt + Θ; m)cn(Ωt + Θ; m), and put a biharmonic aproximation of it in (1). recovers the same optimal values obtained for the biharmonic force Concludes that the biharmonic force optimally enhances directed transport.

SLIDE 9

Motivation

  • 2. The second one:

Claims that the optimal driving waveform among a wide class of admissible funtions for an overdamped, rocking ratchet is dichotomous, with a form: f ∗(t) =

  • L,

0 ≤ t ≤ d N∗, d ≤ t ≤ T where N∗ ≤ 0 is a solution of ν′(N∗) = ν(L) − ν(N∗) L − N∗ uses: ˙ x = ν(M)d + ν

  • − M

d 1 − d

  • (1 − d)

put the dichotomous force in it and maximizes it with respect to M and to N, finding the dichotomic optimal force

Motivation

  • 2. The second one:

Then fixes the parameters ǫ1=L/3 and ǫ2=2L/3 valid for for the

  • ptimal biharmonic force in the limit of small force amplitud in the

dichotomous force. concludes that the dichotomous responses is better than the biharmonic responses for larges L Question: The dichotomous responses is better than the biharmonic responses for larges L but the values of parameters fixed are valided only in limit of small force amplitud for the biharmonic force. Then we suspect that the main conclusion: ”the optimal force is dichotomous”, is not correct. Moreover, we think that there is not a general optimal force. Probably there is an optimal force for every family of forces.
