Consider a fluid composed of two species of particles, where the interparticle pair potentials $u_{11} = u_{22} \neq u_{12}$. On confining an equal number of particles from each species in a cavity, one finds that the average one body…

We report an experimental investigation of momentum diffusion in the delta-function kicked rotor where time symmetry is broken by a two-period kicking cycle and spatial symmetry by an alternating linear potential. The momentum diffusion…
The dynamics of steps on crystal surfaces is considered. In general, the meandering of the steps obeys a subdiffusive behaviour. The characteristic asymptotic time laws depend on the microscopic mechanism for detachment and attachment of…
