Transport phenomena in spatially periodic systems far from thermal equilibrium are
considered. The main emphasis is put on directed transport in so-called Brownian motors …

We consider a single Brownian particle in a spatially symmetric, periodic system far from
thermal equilibrium. This setup can be readily realized experimentally. Upon application of …

We study a class of system composed of interacting unicyclic machines placed in contact
with a hot and cold thermal baths subjected to a nonconservative driving worksource …

When analysing statistical systems or stochastic processes, it is often interesting to ask how
they behave given that some observable takes some prescribed value. This conditioning …

We study the efficiency fluctuations of a stochastic heat engine made of N interacting
unicyclic machines and undergoing a phase transition in the macroscopic limit. Depending …

Brownian motors are nonequilibrium systems that rectify thermal fluctuations to achieve
directed motion, using spatial or temporal asymmetry. We provide a tutorial introduction to …

We introduce examples of tunneling and diffusive, Coulomb-regulated rectifiers based on
the Coulomb blockade formalism in discrete and continuum systems, respectively …

Energy conversion is most efficient for micro or nano machines with tight coupling between
input and output power. To reach meaningful amounts of power, ensembles of N such …

Instances of negative mobility, where a system responds to a perturbation in a way opposite
to naive expectation, have been studied theoretically and experimentally in numerous …

We consider a single, classical Brownian particle in a spatially symmetric periodic system far
from thermal equilibrium, which can be readily realized experimentally. Upon application of …
