Interaction induced directed transport in ac-driven periodic potentials

We demonstrate that repulsive power law interactions can induce deterministic directed transport of particles in dissipative ac-driven periodic potentials, in regimes where the underlying noninteracting system exhibits localized oscillations. Contrasting the well-established single particle ratchet...
