Collective ratchet transport generated by particle crowding under asymmetric sawtooth-shaped static potential
Masayuki Hayakawa, Yusuke Kishino, Masahiro Takinoue
In this study, we describe the ratchet transport of particles under static asymmetric potential with periodicity. Ratchet transport has garnered considerable attention due to its p…
