      We present a numerical study of classical particles diffusing on a solid surface. The particles’ motion is modeled by an underdamped Langevin equation with ordinary thermal noise. The particle-surface interaction is described ...

      We study and characterize a new dynamical regime of underdamped particles in a tilted washboard potential. We find that for small friction in a finite range of forces the particles move essentially nondispersively, that ...
    • From subdiffusion to superdiffusion of particles on solid surfaces

      Article
      Accés obert
      We present a numerical and partially analytical study of classical particles obeying a Langevin equation that describes diffusion on a surface modeled by a two dimensional potential. The potential may be either periodic ...
    • Particle separation by external fields on periodic surfaces 

      Sancho, Jose Maria; Khoury, M.; Lindenberg, K.; Lacasta Palacio, Ana María (http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.478548, 2005-11-30)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Particles moving on perfect periodic surfaces under the influence of external forces may move along directions that deviate from that of the force. We briefly recall previous results for transport of particles on surfaces ...
    • Sorting on periodic surfaces

      Article
      Accés obert
      Particles moving on crystalline surfaces and driven by external forces or ffow ffelds can acquire velocities along directions that deviate from that of the external force. This effect depends on characteristics of the ...
    • Unsolved problems of surface diffusion at low friction

      Article
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      Surface transport and diffusion at low damping reveals a number of unexplained or at least not systematically explained behaviors. Here we present two problems that require further study for a full understanding. One ...
