The term single file (SF) dynamics refers to the motion of an assembly of particles through a channel with cross-section comparable to the particles' diameter. Single file diffusion (SFD) is then the diffusion of a tagged particle in a…

The crossover from single-file diffusion, where the mean-square displacement scales as <x^2> ~t^(1/2), to normal Fickian diffusion, where <x^2>~t$, is studied as a function of channel width for colloidal particles. By comparing Brownian…
