The directed motion of a Brownian particle subject to a unequilibrium uctuation which moves in a two-dimensional ratchet potential is studied. Thus, a working model of the free-energy ratchet is proposed through eliminating no-transport variables. The properties of the present model such as the curr
In systems possessing a spatial or dynamical symmetry breaking, thermal Brownian motion combined with unbiased, non-equilibrium noise gives rise to a channelling of chance that can be used to exercise control over systems at the micro-and even on the nano-scale. This theme is known as the "Brownian
