Particles confined to a single file, in a narrow quasi-one dimensional channel, exhibit a dynamic crossover from single file diffusion to Fickian diffusion as the channel radius increases and the particles can begin to pass each other. The…

A combined experimental/theoretical method to simultaneously determine diffusivity and free-energy profiles of particles that penetrate into inhomogeneous hydrogel systems is presented. As the only input, arbitrarily normalized…

The random propagation of molecules in a fluid medium is characterized by the spontaneous diffusion law as well as the interaction between the environment and molecules. In this paper, we embody the anomalous diffusion theory for modeling…
