From random walk to single-file diffusion.
We report an experimental study of diffusion in a quasi-one-dimensional (q1D) colloid suspension which behaves like a Tonks gas. The mean squared displacement as a function of time is described well with an ansatz encompassing a time regime that is both shorter and longer than the mean time between collisions. The ansatz asserts that the inverse mean squared displacement is the sum of the inver...
متن کاملSingle-file diffusion far from equilibrium
The stationary states of driven diffusive single-file systems, connected to boundary reservoirs with fixed particle density are shown to be selected by an extremal principle for the macroscopic current. Given the current one obtains the exact firstand secondorder non-equilibrium phase transition lines for the bulk density as a function of the boundary densities. The basic dynamical mechanism be...
متن کاملMemory-induced anomalous dynamics: Emergence of diffusion, subdiffusion, and superdiffusion from a single random walk model.
We present a random walk model that exhibits asymptotic subdiffusive, diffusive, or superdiffusive behavior in different parameter regimes. This appears to be an instance of a single random walk model leading to all three forms of behavior by simply changing parameter values. Furthermore, the model offers the great advantage of analytical tractability. Our model is non-Markovian in that the nex...
متن کاملEinstein’s Random Walk and Thermal Diffusion
Thermal diffusion has been studied for over 150 years. Despite of the long history and the increasing importance of the phenomenon, the physics of thermal diffusion remains poorly understood. In this paper Ludwig’s thermal diffusion is explained using Einstein’s random walk. The only new structure added is the spatial heterogeneity of the random walk to reflect the temperature gradient of therm...
متن کاملRelativistic diffusion processes and random walk models
The nonrelativistic standard model for a continuous, one-parameter diffusion process in position space is the Wiener process. As is well known, the Gaussian transition probability density function (PDF) of this process is in conflict with special relativity, as it permits particles to propagate faster than the speed of light. A frequently considered alternative is provided by the telegraph equa...
