Three and four current reversals versus temperature in correlation ratchets with a simple sawtooh potential
Transport of Brownian particles on a simple sawtooth potential subjected to
both unbiased thermal and nonequilibrium symmetric three-level Markovian noise
is considered. The new effects of three and four current reversals as a
function of temperature are established in such correlation ratchets. The
parameter space coordinates of the fixed points associated with these current
reversals and the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the
novel current reversals are found.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures; some changes introduced; accepted for publication
