| dc.description.abstract | Objects driven through periodically modulated potential-energy landscapes in two dimensions can become locked in to symmetry-selected directions that are independent of the driving force’s orientation. We investigate this problem in the overdamped limit, and demonstrate that the crossover from free-flowing to locked-in transport can depend exponentially on an object’s size, with this exceptional selectivity emerging from the landscape's periodicity. | en_US |
