Cooperative Transport of Brownian Particles

arXiv:cond-mat/9809277 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.75.374

Abstract

We consider the collective motion of finite-sized, overdamped Brownian particles (e.g., motor proteins) in a periodic potential. Simulations of our model have revealed a number of novel cooperative transport phenomena, including (i) the reversal of direction of the net current as the particle density is increased and (ii) a very strong and complex dependence of the average velocity on both the size and the average distance of the particles.
