摘要
The steady-state current for the overdamped Brownian motion in the presence of thermal noise and a periodic 'ratchet' potential of randomly fluctuating amplitude (flashing ratchet) is studied. Focusing on Gaussian white noise driven potential fluctuations, it is shown that the occurrence of a current is generic. For appropriate ratchet potentials, the current changes sign as a function of the friction coefficient or the temperature.
