Soliton ratchets out of point-like inhomogeneities
Luis Morales-Molina, Franz G. Mertens, Angel Sanchez
We introduce and study a novel design for a ratchet potential for soliton excitations. The potential is implemented by means of an array of point-like (delta) inhomogeneities in an…

Internal mode mechanism for collective energy transport in extended systems
Luis Morales-Molina, Niurka R. Quintero, Franz G. Mertens +1
We study directed energy transport in homogeneous nonlinear extended systems in the presence of homogeneous ac forces and dissipation. We show that the mechanism responsible for un…
