In a 1D system, particles initially exhibit normal Brownian motion, then transition to anomalous diffusion due to long-range attractive forces, leading to cluster formation described by a Poisson distribution.

Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Physical Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Understanding particle interactions is crucial in condensed matter physics.
  • Diffusion and cluster formation are fundamental processes in various scientific domains.
  • One-dimensional systems offer a simplified yet insightful model for studying complex phenomena.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate cluster formation in a finite one-dimensional system.
  • To analyze the transition from normal to anomalous diffusion.
  • To characterize the statistical distribution of cluster formation.

Main Methods:

  • Simulating a one-dimensional model system with repulsive and attractive potentials.
  • Analyzing particle movement and mean-square displacement.
