Imaging the proton concentration and mapping the spatial distribution of the electric field of catalytic micropumps
A. Afshar Farniya, M. J. Esplandiu, D. Reguera +1
Catalytic engines can use hydrogen peroxide as a chemical fuel in order to drive motion at the microscale. The chemo-mechanical actuation is a complex mechanism based on the interr…
Entropic Splitter for Particle Separation
D. Reguera, A. Luque, P. S. Burada +3
We present a particle separation mechanism which induces motion of particles of different sizes in opposite directions. The mechanism is based on the combined action of a driving f…
Entropic particle transport in periodic channels
P. S. Burada, G. Schmid, P. Talkner +3
The dynamics of Brownian motion has widespread applications extending from transport in designed micro-channels up to its prominent role for inducing transport in molecular motors…
Biased diffusion in confined media: Test of the Fick-Jacobs approximation and validity criteria
P. S. Burada, G. Schmid, D. Reguera +2
We study biased, diffusive transport of Brownian particles through narrow, spatially periodic structures in which the motion is constrained in lateral directions. The problem is an…
Entropic transport: Kinetics, scaling and control mechanisms
D. Reguera, G. Schmid, P. S. Burada +2
We show that transport in the presence of entropic barriers exhibits peculiar characteristics which makes it distinctly different from that occurring through energy barriers. The c…
Interplay of frequency-synchronization with noise: current resonances, giant diffusion and diffusion-crests
D. Reguera, P. Reimann, P. Hänggi +1
We elucidate how the presence of noise may significantly interact with the synchronization mechanism of systems exhibiting frequency-locking. The response of these systems exhibits…
