As amodel of Brownian motor, we consider themotion of particles in an asymmetric, single-well, periodic potential undergoing halfperiod shifts driven by two Poisson processes. Probability currents and stopping force are explicitly obtained as a function of the model parameters, and use of the notion of driving effective potential is made to bridge the presentmodelwith our previousworks involvingwashboard potentials.

Abstract
As amodel of Brownian motor, we consider themotion of particles in an asymmetric, single-well, periodic potential undergoing halfperiod shifts driven by two Poisson processes. Probability currents and stopping force are explicitly obtained as a function of the model parameters, and use of the notion of driving effective potential is made to bridge the presentmodelwith our previousworks involvingwashboard potentials.File in questo prodotto:
