Reduced Mass Coordinates: Isolated Two-body Problem

Reduced Mass Coordinates: Isolated Two-body Problem

In classical mechanics, the two-body problem is one of the fundamental problems describing the motion of two interacting bodies under gravity or any other central force. When considering the motion of two bodies, one of the most important concepts is the reduced mass coordinates, a quantity that allows the two-body problem to be solved like a single-body problem. In these circumstances, it is assumed that a single body with reduced mass revolves around another body fixed in a position with an...

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom

Shortly after de Broglie published his ideas that the electron in a hydrogen atom could be better thought of as being a circular standing wave instead of a particle moving in quantized circular orbits, Erwin Schrödinger extended de Broglie’s work by deriving what is now known as the Schrödinger equation. When Schrödinger applied his equation to hydrogen-like atoms, he was able to reproduce Bohr’s expression for the energy and, thus, the Rydberg formula governing hydrogen spectra. Schrödinger...

Differential Form of Maxwell's Equations

Differential Form of Maxwell's Equations

James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879) was one of the significant contributors to physics in the nineteenth century. He is probably best known for having combined existing knowledge of the laws of electricity and the laws of magnetism with his insights to form a complete overarching electromagnetic theory, represented by Maxwell's equations. The four basic laws of electricity and magnetism were discovered experimentally through the work of physicists such as Oersted, Coulomb, Gauss, and Faraday.

Symmetry in Maxwell's Equations

Symmetry in Maxwell's Equations

Once the fields have been calculated using Maxwell's four equations, the Lorentz force equation gives the force that the fields exert on a charged particle moving with a certain velocity. The Lorentz force equation combines the force of the electric field and of the magnetic field on the moving charge. Maxwell's equations and the Lorentz force law together encompass all the laws of electricity and magnetism. The symmetry that Maxwell introduced into his mathematical framework may not be...

Generalized Hooke's Law

Generalized Hooke's Law

The generalized Hooke's Law is a broadened version of Hooke's Law, which extends to all types of stress and in every direction. Consider an isotropic material shaped into a cube subjected to multiaxial loading. In this scenario, normal stresses are exerted along the three coordinate axes. As a result of these stresses, the cubic shape deforms into a rectangular parallelepiped. Despite this deformation, the new shape maintains equal sides, and there is a normal strain in the direction of the...

Background:

The standard Klein-Kramers equation describes particle dynamics under friction and random forces.
Fractional Klein-Kramers equations extend this to anomalous diffusion, but lack a unified framework.
Continuous-time random walks model subdiffusive and superdiffusive transport.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a generalized Klein-Kramers equation.
To unify existing models like fractional and continuous-time random walk equations.
To analyze the dynamic behavior of particles in external fields, including subdiffusive and superdiffusive regimes.

Main Methods:

Derivation of a generalized Klein-Kramers equation.
Demonstration of its ability to recover known equations (fractional and integro-differential).
Obtaining analytic solutions for the first two moments of velocity and displacement in a force-free scenario.

Main Results:

A generalized Klein-Kramers equation is successfully proposed.
The proposed equation encompasses both fractional Klein-Kramers and continuous-time random walk models.
Analytic solutions for velocity and displacement moments reveal dynamic behaviors in different diffusion regimes.

Conclusions:

The generalized Klein-Kramers equation provides a unified framework for anomalous diffusion.
It accurately describes subdiffusive and superdiffusive transport phenomena.
The derived analytic solutions offer insights into particle dynamics under generalized conditions.
