Further investigation on the validity of Stokes±Einstein behaviour at the molecular level
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stokes±Einstein behaviour at the molecular level is investigated by simulating water at dierent temperatures and by simulating `water' models with dierent mass distributions. When combining Stokes' law for the viscosity with Einstein's formula for the diusivity, an expression for the product of these quantities is obtained, which shows that the product of diusivity and viscosity should be independent of the mass distribution and positively proportional to the temperature. Using both, equilibrium and non-equilibrium simulation techniques to compute the viscosity slight deviation from Stokes±Einstein behaviour was found for the `water' models and temperatures investigated. Non-equilibrium simulation seems to yield systematically lower values for the viscosity than the equilibrium simulation. Ó 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Transition from fractional to classical Stokes–Einstein behaviour in simple fluids
An optical technique for tracking single particles has been used to evaluate the particle diameter at which diffusion transitions from molecular behaviour described by the fractional Stokes-Einstein relationship to particle behaviour described by the classical Stokes-Einstein relationship. The results confirm a prior prediction from molecular dynamic simulations that there is a particle size at...
متن کاملAppearance of a Fractional Stokes-Einstein Relation in Water and a Structural Interpretation of Its Onset
The Stokes–Einstein relation has long been regarded as one of the hallmarks of transport in liquids. It predicts that the self-diffusion constant D is proportional to (τ/T)−1, where τ is the structural relaxation time and T is the temperature. Here, we present experimental data on water confirming that, below a crossover temperature T× ≈ 290 K, the Stokes– Einstein relation is replaced by a ‘fr...
متن کاملFrequency-dependent Stokes-Einstein relation in supercooled liquids.
We investigate by molecular dynamics simulations the validity of the frequency-dependent Stokes-Einstein (SE) relation in supercooled liquids at different temperatures. The results indicate that the SE relation holds at intermediate frequencies that correspond to the beta -relaxation and the onset of the alpha -relaxation regimes. Large deviations, which increase as the temperature decreases, a...
