Abstract

The transition rate and stochastic resonance (SR) of a Brownian particle moving in a confined system under the presence of entropic barriers are investigated when the system is driven by non-Gaussian noise. The explicit expressions of the transition rate and the spectral power amplification (SPA) are obtained, respectively. The effects of the parameter q indicating the departure from the Gaussian noise and the correlation time τ of the non-Gaussian noise on the transition rate and the SPA are discussed. Research results show that: (i) The transition rate as a function of the noise strength exhibits a maximum. This maximum for transition rate identifies the phenomenon of entropic resonant activation (ERA), the parameter q and the noise correlation time τ weaken the ERA of the system; (ii) The curves of SPA appear a transition from one peak to double-peak, and then to one peak again as the noise correlation time τ of non-Gaussian noise increases.
