Abstract

In the past few years, attention has mainly been focused on the symmetric Brownian motor (BM) with Gaussian noises, whose current and energy conversion efficiency are very low. Here, we investigate the operating performance of the symmetric BM subjected to Lévy noise. Through numerical simulations, it is found that the operating performance of the motor can be greatly improved in asymmetric Lévy noise. Without any load, the Lévy noises with smaller stable indexes can let the motor give rise to a much greater current. With a load, the energy conversion efficiency of the motor can be enhanced by adjusting the stable indexes of the Lévy noises with symmetry breaking. The results of this research are of great significance for opening up BM’s intrinsic physical mechanism and promoting the development of nanotechnology.
