Giant oscillations of diffusion in ac-driven periodic systems
arXiv:2208.03223 · doi:10.1063/5.0117902
Abstract
We revisit the problem of diffusion in a driven system consisting of an inertial Brownian particle moving in a symmetric periodic potential and subjected to a symmetric time-periodic force. We reveal parameter domains in which diffusion is normal in the long time limit and exhibits intriguing giant damped quasiperiodic oscillations as a function of the external driving amplitude. As the mechanism behind this effect we identify the corresponding oscillations of difference in the number of locked and running trajectories which carries the leading contribution to the diffusion coefficient. Our findings can be verified experimentally in a multitude of physical systems including colloidal particles, Josephson junction or cold atoms dwelling in optical lattices, to name only a few.
