Rectification and Phase Locking for Particles on Two Dimensional Periodic Substrates
arXiv:cond-mat/0110330 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.89.024101
Abstract
We show that a novel rectification phenomena is possible for overdamped particles interacting with a 2D periodic substrate and driven with a longitudinal DC drive and a circular AC drive. As a function of DC amplitude, the longitudinal velocity increases in a series of quantized steps with transverse rectification occuring near these transitions. We present a simple model that captures the quantization and rectification behaviors.
