Abstract
A microscopic model for a translational Brownian motor, dubbed a Brownian translator, is introduced. It is inspired by the Brownian gyrator described by Filliger and Reimann (2007 Phys. Rev. Lett.99 230602). The Brownian translator consists of a spatially asymmetric object moving freely along a line due to perpetual collisions with a surrounding ideal gas. When this gas has an anisotropic temperature, both spatial and temporal symmetries are broken and the object acquires a nonzero drift. Onsager reciprocity implies the opposite phenomenon, that is dragging a spatially asymmetric object into an (initially at) equilibrium gas induces an energy flow that results in anisotropic gas temperatures. Expressions for the dynamical and energetic properties are derived as a series expansion in the mass ratio (of gas particle vs. object). These results are in excellent agreement with molecular dynamics simulations.
期刊介绍：
JSTAT is targeted to a broad community interested in different aspects of statistical physics, which are roughly defined by the fields represented in the conferences called ''Statistical Physics''. Submissions from experimentalists working on all the topics which have some ''connection to statistical physics are also strongly encouraged.
The journal covers different topics which correspond to the following keyword sections.
1. Quantum statistical physics, condensed matter, integrable systems
Scientific Directors: Eduardo Fradkin and Giuseppe Mussardo
2. Classical statistical mechanics, equilibrium and non-equilibrium
Scientific Directors: David Mukamel, Matteo Marsili and Giuseppe Mussardo
3. Disordered systems, classical and quantum
Scientific Directors: Eduardo Fradkin and Riccardo Zecchina
4. Interdisciplinary statistical mechanics
Scientific Directors: Matteo Marsili and Riccardo Zecchina
5. Biological modelling and information
Scientific Directors: Matteo Marsili, William Bialek and Riccardo Zecchina
