A theory for self-diffusion in liquids
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose an alternative approach to self-diffusion in an atomic liquid. Our starting point is an oscillatory motion of a tagged particle in its first solvation shell ~cage!. Only after cage relaxation is taken into account is the tagged particle able to diffuse. This approach is suitable for describing liquids where the concept of binary collisions breaks down and the self-diffusion coefficient is small. Our predictions quantitatively agree with the results of MD simulations in a broad range of densities and temperatures up to the freezing transition. © 1999 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-9606~99!50606-5#

Mechanics of Supercooled Liquids
Pure substances can often be cooled below their melting points and still remain in the liquid state. For some supercooled liquids, a further cooling slows down viscous flow greatly, but does not slow down self-diffusion as much. We formulate a continuum theory that regards viscous flow and self-diffusion as concurrent, but distinct, processes. We generalize Newton’s law of viscosity to relate s...
متن کاملSelf-thermophoresis and thermal self-diffusion in liquids and gases.
This paper demonstrates the existence of self-thermophoresis, a phenomenon whereby a virtual thermophoretic force arising from a temperature gradient in a quiescent single-component liquid or gas acts upon an individual molecule of that fluid in much the same manner as a "real" thermophoretic force acts upon a macroscopic, non-Brownian body immersed in that same fluid. In turn, self-thermophore...
متن کاملIonic liquids for synthesis of nanoparticles (A review)
An ionic liquid (IL) is a salt in the liquid state. In some contexts, the term has been restricted to salts whose melting point is below some arbitrary temperature, such as 100 °C. While ordinary liquids such as water and gasoline are predominantly made of electrically neutral molecules, ionic liquids are largely made of ions and short-lived ion pairs. These substances are variously called liqu...
متن کاملAnomalous diffusion in heterogeneous glass-forming liquids: temperature-dependent behavior.
In a preceding paper, Langer and Mukhopadhyay [Phys. Rev. E 77, 061505 (2008)] studied the diffusive motion of a tagged molecule in an heterogeneous glass-forming liquid at temperatures just above a glass transition. Among other features of this system, we postulated a relation between heterogeneity and stretched-exponential decay of correlations, and we also confirmed that systems of this kind...
متن کاملSelf-Diffusion Slowdown in Liquid Indium and Gallium under Confinement
1. Introduction When liquids are embedded into nanoporous matrices their physical properties can be affected by confinement conditions. In particular, the self-diffusion process within nanopores was shown to alter noticeably compared to bulk for many inorganic and organic liquids. Our recent NMR studies showed that atomic mobility in liquid indium and gallium embedded into nanoporous matrices i...
