We show that a net particle flow can be produced by adiabatically changing two external periodic potentials with a spatial and a temporal phase difference. The classical pumped current is found to be independent of the friction and to vanish both in the limit of low and high temperature. Below a critical temperature, adiabatic pumping appears to be more efficient than transport due to a constant external force.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2002-04-15T21:33:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "symmetric periodic potential", "noise-assisted classical adiabatic pumping", "overdamped brownian particle moving", "net particle flow", "external periodic potentials" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
