Rectification of Swimming Bacteria and Self Driven Particle Systems by Arrays of Asymmetric Barriers

We show that the recent experimental observation of the rectification of swimming bacteria in a system with an array of asymmetric barriers occurs due to the ballistic component of the bacteria trajectories introduced by the bacterial "motor." Each bacteria selects a random direction for m...
