Abstract: | We analyze the transport properties of inertial deterministic rocking ratchets in the presence of an external constant force. For small values of this load, we can obtain a positive current for a negative load, and vice versa. This phenomenon, in which the direction of the current is opposed to the sign of the external force, is a signature of anomalous negative mobility. We show that this anomalous mobility is possible in the deterministic case, and explain this phenomenon as current reversals associated to bifurcations in an inertial deterministic rocking ratchet in the presence of an external load. |
