We investigate the origin of the breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein relation (SER) between diffusivity and viscosity in undercooled melts. A binary Lennard-Jones system, as a model for a metallic melt, is studied by molecular dynamics. A weak…
Because the theory of SER is still a work in progress, the phenomenon itself can be said to be the oldest unsolved problem in science, as it started with Kohlrausch in 1847. Many electrical and optical phenomena exhibit SER with probe…
Molecular Dynamics simulations of high density hard sphere fluids clearly show a breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein equation (SE). This result has been conjectured to be due to the presence of mobile particles, i.e., ones which have the…
