چکیده

In this presentation we overview some recent results on biased tracer diffusion in lattice gases. We consider both models in which the gas particles density is explicitly conserved and situations in which the lattice gas particles undergo continuous exchanges with a reservoir, which case is appropriate, e.g., to adsorbed monolayers in contact with the vapor phase. For all these models we determine, in some cases exactly and in other ones-using a certain decoupling approximation, the mean displacement of a tracer particle (TP) driven by a constant external force in a dynamical background formed by the lattice gas particles whose transition rates are symmetric. Evaluating the TP mean displacement explicitly we are able to define the TP mobility, which allows us to demonstrate that the Einstein relation between the TP mobility and the diffusivity generally holds, despite the fact that in some cases diffusion is anomalous. For models treated within the framework of the decoupling approximation, our analytical results are confirmed by Monte Carlo simulations. Perturbance of the lattice gas particles distribution due to the presence of a biased TP and the form of the particle density profiles are also discussed.

Ultraslow vacancy-mediated tracer diffusion in two dimensions: the Einstein relation verified.

We study the dynamics of a charged tracer particle (TP) on a two-dimensional lattice, all sites of which except one (a vacancy) are filled with identical neutral, hard-core particles. The particles move randomly by exchanging their positions with the vacancy, subject to the hard-core exclusion. In the case when the charged TP experiences a bias due to external electric field E (which favors its...

Glassy Relaxation and Breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein Rela- tion in the Two Dimensional Lattice Coulomb Gas of Fractional Charges

– We present Monte Carlo simulation results on the equilibrium relaxation of the two dimensional lattice Coulomb gas with fractional charges, which exhibits a close analogy to the primary relaxation of fragile supercooled liquids. Single particle and collective relaxation dynamics show that the Stokes-Einstein relation is violated at low temperatures, which can be characterized by a fractional ...

Diffusion processes and memory effects

We report the results of the numerical estimation of statistical memory effects in diffusion for two various systems: Lennard-Jones fluids and the model of the Brownian particle in a one-dimensional harmonic lattice. We have found the relation between the diffusion coefficient and the non-Markovity parameter, which is linear for the Lennard-Jones systems in liquid state. The relation between th...

In this article, a two dimensional pore scale model of polymeric fuel cell, which is promising of a clean and renewable energy production, is presented here. Let reactive gases behave as an ideal gas; inhomogeneous anisotropic structure of the gas diffusion layer, is contemplated as a random generated circular porous media. Lattice Boltzmann method is applied to inquire the fluid flow and mass ...
