Phase controlling current reversals in a chaotic ratchet transport

We consider a deterministic chaotic ratchet model for which the driving force is designed to allow the rectification of current as well as the control of chaos of the system. Besides the amplitude of the symmetric driving force which is often used in this framework as control parameter, a phase has been newly included here. Exploring this phase, responsible of the asymmetry of the driven force, a number of interesting departures have been revealed. Remarkably, it becomes possible to drive the system into one of the following regime: the state of zero transport, the state of directed transport and most importantly the state of reverse transport (current reversal). To have a full control of the system, a current reversal diagram has been computed thereby clearly showing the entire transport spectrum which is expected to be of interest for possible experiments in this model.
