  • Abstract
    We report experimental results on transport properties of Bose-Einstein condensates in periodic optical potentials of variable asymmetry. By studying the Landau-Zener effect and Bloch oscillations, we have explored the band structure of both ratchet-type asymmetric and symmetric optical potentials.
