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…

Symmetry of deterministic ratchets.
- PhysicsPhysical review. E
- 2019
It is shown that a pulsating ratchet with a multiplicative structure of its potential energy cannot move directionally if the energy is of the universal symmetry type in time; this restriction is removed in the inertial regime, but only if the coordinate dependence of the energy does not belong to either symmetric or antisymmetric functions.
