Driven tracer with absolute negative mobility

Julien Cividini (Weizmann Institute, Israël)

Instances of negative mobility, where a system responds to a perturbation in a way opposite to naive expectation, have been studied theoretically and experimentally in numerous nonequilibrium systems. After reviewing part of the literature on the topic, we will consider a simple one-dimensional lattice model of a driven tracer in bath. We will show that  contrary to previous expectations, Absolute Negative Mobility (ANM), whereby current is produced in a direction opposite to the drive, occurs around an equilibrium state. We derive analytical predictions for the mobility in the linear response regime. The high density regime will help us elucidate the mechanism leading to ANM. The lattice model can be seen as a toy model for hard Brownian discs in a narrow planar channel. Molecular dynamics studies show that the hard discs model exhibits Negative Differential Mobility (NDM), but no ANM.
