Brownian motion of a self-propelled particle.
Overdamped Brownian motion of a self-propelled particle is studied by solving the Langevin equation analytically. On top of translational and rotational diffusion, in the context of the presented model, the 'active' particle is driven along its internal orientation axis. We calculate the first four moments of the probability distribution function for displacements as a function of time for a sp...
متن کاملMultifractality of Brownian motion near absorbing polymers.
We characterize the multifractal behavior of Brownian motion in the vicinity of an absorbing star polymer. We map the problem to an O(M)-symmetric phi(4)-field theory relating higher moments of the Laplacian field of Brownian motion to corresponding composite operators. The resulting spectra of scaling dimensions of these operators display the convexity properties that are necessarily found for...
متن کاملBrownian Motion of a Free Particle and a Harmonic Oscillator
for a Brownian oscillator, where x(t) specifies the position of the particle or oscillator at time t, m is the mass, ( x is the viscous drag experienced by the particle, lVo is the oscillator frequency, and F(t) is the white-noise driving force. We also consider the rotational analogs of these two models, namely, a free single-axis rotator and a torsional oscillator. The corresponding Langevin ...
متن کاملDirect observation of nondiffusive motion of a Brownian particle.
The thermal position fluctuations of a single micron-sized sphere immersed in a fluid were recorded by optical trapping interferometry with nanometer spatial and microsecond temporal resolution. We find, in accord with the theory of Brownian motion including hydrodynamic memory effects, that the transition from ballistic to diffusive motion is delayed to significantly longer times than predicte...
متن کاملDirect observation of ballistic Brownian motion on a single particle
At fast timescales, the self-similarity of random Brownian motion is expected to break down and be replaced by ballistic motion. So far, an experimental verification of this prediction has been out of reach due to a lack of instrumentation fast and precise enough to capture this motion. With a newly developed detector, we have been able to observe the Brownian motion of a single particle in an ...
