Van den Broeck, R. Kawai, and P. Meurs to a three-dimensional configuration. We calculate the friction coefficient, diffusion coefficient, and drift velocity as a function of shape and present estimates based on physically realistic parameter values.Statistical MechanicsRectifying the thermal Brownian motion of three-dimensional asymmetric objectstext
