Abstract

The motion of an ensemble of particles in a space-periodic potential well with a weak wavelike perturbation imposed is considered. We found that slow oscillations of the wave number of the perturbation lead to the occurrence of directed particle current. This current is amplified with time due to the giant acceleration of some particles. It is shown that giant acceleration is linked to the existence of resonant channels in phase space.
