Rectification and Non-Gaussian Diffusion in Heterogeneous Media
We show that when Brownian motion takes place in a heterogeneous medium, the presence of local forces and transport coefficients leads to deviations from a Gaussian probability distribution that make that the ratio between forward and backward probabilities depend on the nature of the host medium, o...
