The correlation factor for diffusion by the divacancy mechanism in an FCC lattice has been the target of a long quest. Amounting to 0.54 at the beginning, its value was progressively decreased down to 0.4582 with a confidence interval of…

Systems are studied in which transport is possible due to large extension with open boundaries in certain directions but the particles responsible for transport can disappear from it by leaving it in other directions, by chemical reaction…
Understanding particle motion in narrow channels is essential to guide progress in numerous applications, from filtration to vascular transport. Thermal or active fluctuations of channel walls for fluid-filled channels can slow down or…
