Abstract
Hopping motion of particles on linear chains under the influence of bi as is considered where the transition rates represent arbitrary potent ials. An exact expression for the stationary current is given and veri fied by numerical simulations. It exhibits rectification effects for n onsymmetric potentials in the regime of strong bias. Applications to t wo-and three-dimensional systems are indicated.
