Single file diffusion in macroscopic Wigner rings

Statistical Mechanics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The single file diffusion in a circular channel of millimetric charged balls is studied. The evolution in time of the mean square displacement is shown to be subdiffusive, but slower than the power-like t1/2t^{1/2} behavior observed in circular colloidal systems or predicted in one-dimensional infinite systems.
