Rotational Diffusion in a Chain of Particles

Soft Condensed Matter 2009-11-11 v1 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

We study the coupled rotational diffusion in a two-particle chain on the basis of a Smoluchowski equation and calculate time-correlation functions that are measurable in an experiment. This might be used to explore hydrodynamic interactions in the limit where lubrication theory is valid.
