In systems possessing spatial or dynamical symmetry breaking, Brownian motion combined
with unbiased external input signals, deterministic and random alike, can assist directed …

A superconducting diode is an electronic device that conducts supercurrent and exhibits
zero resistance primarily for one direction of applied current. Such a dissipationless diode is …

Using a particle-based model, we simulate the behavior of a skyrmion under the influence of
asymmetric funnel geometries and ac driving at zero temperature. We specifically …

Vortex matter in superconducting films and devices is not only an interesting topic for basic
research but plays a substantial role in the applications of superconductivity in general. We …

Using a particle-based model, we examine the collective dynamics of skyrmions interacting
with a funnel potential under dc driving as the skyrmion density and relative strength of the …

Using atomistic simulations, we investigate the dynamical behavior of a single skyrmion
interacting with an asymmetric linear protrusion array under external ac driving. The linear …

Driven transport of noninteracting Brownian particles in two-dimensional asymmetric
channels is investigated by fully accounting for longitudinal and transverse diffusions. Bona …

We consider a two-dimensional Wigner crystal coupled to a quasi-one-dimensional
asymmetric potential under ac or dc driving. As a function of electron density, substrate …

A conformal transformation of a uniform triangular pinning array produces a structure called
a conformal crystal which preserves the sixfold ordering of the original lattice but contains a …

We propose cyclic refrigeration in solid state, employing a gas of magnetic field vortices in a
type-II superconductor—also known as fluxons—as the cooling agent. Refrigeration cycles …
