A new regime of the directed transport of particles in a random sawtooth potential driven by an alternating external force is studied. For this transport regime, which is characterized by zero average velocity of particles and a finite transport distance, the variance of coordinates of particles localization is calculated exactly and analyzed for a particular case of the random sawtooth potential. It has been established that the variance plays an important role in this transport regime. In particular, the root-mean-square displacement of particles can essentially exceed their average displacement in the preferred direction. |
