The Directed Transport of Elastically Coupled Brownian Motors in a Two-Dimensional Potential

Article Preview

Abstract:

A model of directed transport of elastically coupled Brownian motors in a two-dimensional potential is established, in which one AC drive and a noise are acted on the non-ratchet potential direction but none is acted on the ratchet potential direction. Through numerical simulation, the position and the velocity of the coupled Brownian motors in two directions versus time are analyzed in different cases, which include that the AC drive and the noise are all moderate in the non-ratchet potential direction, no AC drive or no noise. The results show that at appropriate AC drive or the noise, there is a directional flow in the ratchet potential direction none acted.
