A novel mesoscopic stochastic model describes particle diffusion using transmission and reflection probabilities. This model accurately predicts self-diffusivity in equilibrium systems, validated by simulations.

Area of Science:

  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Computational Physics
  • Soft Matter Physics

Background:

  • Understanding particle diffusion is crucial in various physical systems.
  • Existing models may not fully capture mesoscopic diffusive behaviors.
  • Stochastic processes offer a framework for modeling complex particle dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a new mesoscopic stochastic model for equilibrium particle diffusion.
  • To introduce transmission and reflection probabilities as key parameters.
  • To derive an expression for self-diffusivity based on the new model.

Main Methods:

  • Discretizing space into parallel slabs.
  • Employing a second-order Markov process based on transmission probability.
