The Einstein relation generalized to non-equilibrium

Statistical Mechanics 2007-06-20 v1 Soft Condensed Matter

Abstract

The Einstein relation connecting the diffusion constant and the mobility is violated beyond the linear response regime. For a colloidal particle driven along a periodic potential imposed by laser traps, we test the recent theoretical generalization of the Einstein relation to the non-equilibrium regime which involves an integral over measurable velocity correlation functions.
