Abstract
In a previous work[1], we performed a mean-field analysis of a model for noise-induced transport (“ratchet” behavior)[2]: a system of nonlinear phase oscillators—globally coupled with strength K 0 and submitted to local “flashing” potentials with common noise strength Q— undergoes a reentrant noise-induced non-equilibrium phase transition towards a brokensymmetry phase characterized by an asymmetric stationary mean-field probability distribution function (PDF) p st(x), and exhibiting a spontaneous particle current (\( \left\langle {\dot X} \right\rangle \ne 0 \) in the absence of a load force F) and hysteresis in its \( \left\langle {\dot X} \right\rangle \) vs F characteristic. Our focus was the relationship between the (normal or anomalous) character of the hysteresis loop, the number of “homogeneous” mean-field solutions, and the shape of p st(x). In subsequent works[3] we let the multiplicative noises that drive the “flashing” potentials be Ornstein- Uhlenbeck—with common self-correlation time τíand explored the consequences of this assumption on the (Q,K 0) phase diagram and on the transport properties, resorting to the “unified colored noise approximation” (UCNA). In this work we take a closer look to the efficiency ∈ of the mechanical rectification process (in the region where it is positive) to show that it attains a maximum for a finite value of τ. We also follow the τ-evolution of the shape of the “effective potential” at two points in the phase diagram.
