Diffusion of particles in complex fluids and gels is difficult to describe and often lies beyond the scope of the classical Stokes-Einstein relation. One of the main lines of research over the past few decades has sought to relate…

The present article presents a molecular dynamics study of several anomalies of core-softened systems. It is well known that many core-softened liquids demonstrate diffusion anomaly. Usual intuition relates the diffusion coefficient to…
Stokes-Einstein (SE) relation, which relates diffusion constant with the viscosity of a liquid at high temperatures in equilibrium, is violated in the supercooled temperature regime. Whether this relation is obeyed in nonequilibrium active…
We investigate the experimental limits of validity of the Stokes-Einstein equation. There is an important difference between diffusion and self-diffusion. There are experimental evidences, that in the case of self-diffusion the product D /T…
