Brownian motion of molecules: a stochastic approach

Statistical Mechanics 2014-11-11 v3 Chemical Physics

Abstract

A stochastic Langevin equation is derived, describing the thermal motion of a molecule immersed in a rested fluid of identical molecules. The fluctuation-dissipation theorem is proved and a number of correlation characteristics of the molecular Brownian motion are obtained.
