We derive the time-evolution equation that describes the Brownian motion of labeled individual tracer particles in a simple model atomic liquid (i.e., a system of $N$ particles whose motion is governed by Newton's second law, and…

The analysis of the dynamics of tracer particles in a complex bath can provide valuable information about the microscopic behaviour of the bath. In this work, we study the dynamics of a forced tracer in a colloidal bath by means of Langevin…

Single-file diffusion refers to the motion in narrow channels of particles which cannot bypass each other. These strong correlations between particles lead to tracer subdiffusion, which has been observed in contexts as varied as transport…
