We consider the charge shuttle proposed by Gorelik {\em et al.} driven by a time-dependent voltage bias. In the case of asymmetric setup, the system behaves as a rachet. For pure AC drive, the rectified current shows a complex frequency dependent response characterized by frequency locking at fracional values of the external frequency. Due to the non-linear dynamics of the shuttle, the rachet effect is present also for very low frequencies.

The authors derive information-thermodynamic fluctuation theorems for mixed jump-diffusion systems and apply them to show that self-oscillations in a single-electron shuttle are fueled by energy transfer rather than i...
