We describe how adiabatically rocked quantum electron ratchets can act as heat pumps. In general, ratchets may be described as non-equilibrium systems in which directed particle motion is generated using spatial or temporal asymmetry. In a rocked ratchet, which may also be described as a non-linear

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
tural feature of these (TMPDO),TCNE arrays is rectangular four-site 0 -C binding at the TCNE olefinic carbon atoms, which appear to interact through their K\* lobes. The topological requirement for DA complexation at the N-oxide center is more flexible, allowing the formation of both ladder and web
