چکیده
Starting from a careful analysis of the coupled Langevin equations for two interacting Brownian particles, we derive a method for extracting the binary friction tensor from the correlation function matrix of the instantaneous forces exerted by the bath particles on the fixed Brownian particles, and from the relaxation of the total momentum of the bath in a finite system. The general methodology, which circumvents the pitfalls associated with the inversion of the thermodynamic and long time limits, is applied to the case of two Brownian hard spheres in a bath of light spheres.

Applying a technique developed in a recent work[1] to calculate wavefunction evolution in a dissipative system with Ohmic friction, we show that the wavelength of the wavefunction decays exponentially, while the Brownian motion width gradually increases. In an interference experiment, when these two parameters become equal, the Brownian motion erases the fringes, the system thus approaches clas...
متن کاملBrownian motion and the hydrodynamic friction tensor for colloidal particles of complex shape.
We synthesize colloidal particles with various anisotropic shapes and track their orientationally resolved Brownian trajectories using confocal microscopy. An analysis of appropriate short-time correlation functions provides direct access to the hydrodynamic friction tensor of the particles revealing nontrivial couplings between the translational and rotational degrees of freedom. The results a...
متن کاملTrapping of finite-sized Brownian particles in porous media
It is shown that the trapping of finite-sized spherical Brownian particles of radius /3R in a system of interpenetrable spherical traps of radius R is isomorphic to the trapping of “point” Brownian particles (p = 0) in a particular system of interpenetrable spherical traps of radius ( 1 + p> R. This isomorphism in conjunction with previous trapping-rate data for fl= 0 is employed to compute the...
متن کاملNonlinear Dynamics of Active Brownian Particles
We consider finite systems of interacting Brownian particles including active friction in the framework of nonlinear dynamics and statistical/stochastic theory. First we study the statistical properties for 1−d systems of masses connected by Toda springs which are imbedded into a heat bath. Including negative friction we find N + 1 attractors of motion including an attractor describing dissipat...
متن کاملCoarse Grained Simulations of a Small Peptide: Effects of Finite Damping and Hydrodynamic Interactions
In the coarse grained Brownian Dynamics simulation method the many solvent molecules are replaced by random thermal kicks and an effective friction acting on the particles of interest. For Brownian Dynamics the friction has to be so strong that the particles’ velocities are damped much faster than the duration of an integration timestep. Here we show that this conceptual limit can be dropped wi...
