22 Most biological micro-motors operate in the low Reynolds number regime, where inertia is negligible. A minimal model can therefore be formulated in terms of an over-damped Ito-SDE dx(t) = U (X) dt + F (t)dt + p 2D(t) db(t). (1.116)

(1.116) Here, U is a periodic potential U() =U( + L) (1.117a) with broken reflection symmetry, i.e., there is no such that U( ) =U( + ). (1.117b) A typical eample is U = U [sin(2 /L)+ 1 4 sin(4 /L)]. (1.117c) The function F (t) is a deterministic driving force, and the noise amplitude D(t) can be time-dependent as well.

35 1.6.2 Temperature ratchet As we have seen in the preceding sections, the combination of noise and nonlinear dynamics can yield surprising transport e ects. Another eample is the so-called temperatureratchet, which can be captured by the minimal SDE model dx(t) =[F U (X)] dt + p 2D(t) db(t), (1.13a) where D(t) =D(t + T ) is now a time-dependent noise amplitude, such as for instance D(t) = D {1+A sign[sin(2 t/t )]}, (1.13b) where A < 1. Such a temporally varying noise strength can be realized by heating and cooling the ratchet system periodically. Transport can be quantified in terms of the combined spatio-temporal average hẋi := 1 T = 1 T t+t t t+t t ds ds d j(t, ) d [F U ()] p(t, ). (1.131) can be solved numerically

36 Time-dependent temperature P. Reimann / Physics Reports 361 (22) <> F Fig Average particle current ẋ versus force F for the temperature ratchet dynamics (2.3), (2.34), (2.47), (2.5) in dimensionless units (see Section A.4 in Appendi A). Parameter values are = L = T = k B = 1, V =1=2, T =:5, A = :8. The time- and ensemble-averaged current (2.53) has been obtained by numerically evolving the Fokker Planck equation (2.52) until transients have died out. Fig The basic working mechanism of the temperature ratchet (2.34), (2.47), (2.5). The gure illustrates how Brownian particles, initially concentrated at (lower panel), spread out when the temperature is switched to a very high value (upper panel). When the temperature jumps back to its initial low value, most particles get captured again in the basin of attraction of, but also substantially in that of + L (hatched area). A net current of particles to the right, i.e. ẋ results. Note that practically the same mechanism is at work when the temperature is kept ed and instead the potential is turned on and o (on o ratchet, see Section 4.2).
