Description

We study numerically the dynamics of particles on the Galton board of semi-disk scatters in presence of monochromatic radiation and dissipation. It is shown that under certain conditions the radiation leads to appearance of directed transport linked to an underlining strange attractor. The direction of transport can be efficiently changed by radiation polarization. The experimental realization of this effect in asymmetric antidot superlattices is discussed.
