Propagation Dynamics of a Particle Phase in a Single-File Pore

Abstract

We study propagation dynamics of a particle phase in a single-file pore connected to a reservoir of particles (bulk liquid phase). We show that the total mass M(t)M(t) of particles entering the pore up to time tt grows as M(t)=2m(J,ρF)D0tM(t) = 2 m(J,\rho_F) \sqrt{D_0 t}, where D0D_0 is the "bare" diffusion coefficient and the prefactor m(J,ρF)m(J,\rho_F) is a non-trivial function of the reservoir density ρF\rho_F and the amplitude JJ of attractive particle-particle interactions. Behavior of the dynamic density profiles is also discussed.
