Systemic Risk and the Refinancing Ratchet Effect by Khandani, Amir, Lo, Andrew W., Merton, Robert C.

“…To measure the systemic impact of this ratchet effect, we simulate the U.S. housing market with and without equity extractions, and estimate the losses absorbed by mortgage lenders by valuing the embedded put-option in non-recourse mortgages. …”

Anisotropic hysteresis on ratcheted superhydrophobic surfaces by Kusumaatmaja, H, Yeomans, J

“…Due to the anisotropic geometry of the surface patterning, the contact line can preferentially depin from one side of the ratchets, leading to a novel, partially suspended, superhydrophobic state. …”

Efficiency of the SQUID ratchet driven by external current by J Spiechowicz, J Łuczka

“…This system acts as a nonequilibrium ratchet for the dc voltage across the SQUID with the external current as a source of energy. …”

Dissipation engineered directional filter for quantum ratchets by Zlata Fedorova, Christoph Dauer, Anna Sidorenko, Sebastian Eggert, Johann Kroha, Stefan Linden

“…We demonstrate transport rectification in a Hermitian Hamiltonian quantum ratchet by a dissipative, dynamic impurity. While the bulk of the ratchet supports transport in both directions, the properly designed loss function of the local impurity acts as a direction-dependent filter for the moving states. …”

A model for nonlinear hysteretic and ratcheting behaviour by Houlsby, G, Abadie, C, Beuckelaers, W, Byrne, B

“…A rigorous procedure is described to accelerate the ratcheting process, so that the effects of very large numbers of cycles can be analysed through a reduced number of cycles. …”

Geometrically controlled ratchet effect with collective vortex motion by V Rouco, A Palau, C Monton, N Del-Valle, C Navau, A Sanchez, X Obradors, T Puig

“…Rectified flux motion arising from the collective effect of many interacting vortices is obtained in a specially designed superconducting device. Ratchet structures with different asymmetric pinning potentials are generated by tuning the size, depth, and distribution of triangular blind-antidots in a high-temperature superconducting film. …”
