Abstract
Asymmetric kinks bridging two adjacent potential valleys of equal depth but different curvature are predicted to drift with velocity proportional to their temperature, in close agreement with numerical simulation. Such a (white) noise rectification phenomenon, not to be mistaken for a ratchet-like effect, is an entropic mechanism with potential impact on noise-sustained signal propagation in linear bistable arrays, of both biological and microelectronic nature.
