Time asymmetry of the Kramers equation with nonlinear friction: fluctuation-dissipation relation and ratchet effect (1311.0638v2)

Published 4 Nov 2013 in cond-mat.stat-mech

Abstract: We show by numerical simulations that the presence of nonlinear velocity-dependent friction forces can induce a finite net drift in the stochastic motion of a particle in contact with an equilibrium thermal bath and in an asymmetric periodic spatial potential. In particular, we study the Kramers equation for a particle subjected to Coulomb friction, namely a constant force acting in the direction opposite to the particle's velocity. We characterize the nonequilibrium irreversible dynamics by studying the generalized fluctuation-dissipation relation for this ratchet model driven by Coulomb friction.
