Study of the resistivity in a channel with dephased ripples

Abstract

We study the transport properties of classical particles in the ballistic regime trapped in a two-dimensional channel with dephased ripple boundaries. By taking into account small ripple amplitudes an analytical approximate expression for the classical resistivity is obtained. We show that the resistivity can be increased considerably by dephasing the walls of the channel. Our results are compared with those obtained for a channel composed of a flat and a sinusoidal boundaries.
