The Burnett expansion of the periodic Lorentz gas
Recently, stretched exponential decay of multiple correlations in the periodic Lorentz gas has been used to show the convergence of a series of correlations which has the physical interpretations as the fourth order Burnett coefficient, a generalization of the diffusion coefficient. Here the result is extended to include all higher order Burnett coefficients, and give a plausible argument that ...
متن کاملOn the Periodic Lorentz Gas and the Lorentz Kinetic Equation
We prove that the Boltzmann-Grad limit of the Lorentz gas with periodic distribution of scatterers cannot be described with a linear Boltzmann equation. This is at variance with the case of a Poisson distribution of scatterers, for which the convergence to the linear Boltzmann equation was proved by Gallavotti [Phys. Rev. (2) 185, 308 (1969)]. The arguments presented here complete the analysis ...
متن کاملv 1 5 O ct 1 99 9 The existence of Burnett coefficients in the periodic Lorentz gas
The linear super-Burnett coefficient gives corrections to the diffusion equation in the form of higher derivatives of the density. Like the diffusion coefficient, it can be expressed in terms of integrals of correlation functions, but involving four different times. The power law decay of correlations in real gases (with many moving particles) and the random Lorentz gas (with one moving particl...
متن کاملRecent Results on the Periodic Lorentz Gas
The Drude-Lorentz model for the motion of electrons in a solid is a classical model in statistical mechanics, where electrons are represented as point particles bouncing on a fixed system of obstacles (the atoms in the solid). Under some appropriate scaling assumption — known as the Boltzmann-Grad scaling by analogy with the kinetic theory of rarefied gases — this system can be described in som...
متن کاملCrisis in the periodic Lorentz gas.
The attractor of the nonequilibrium Lorentz gas covers the whole of the accessible phase space at small values of the field. Here we investigate the transition from this state to a state with fractal support, corresponding to a discontinuity in the box dimension as a function of field. A number of numerical techniques are employed, the most effective involving symbolic dynamics. It is found tha...
