The properties of fluctuations inμ space in or outside thermal equilibrium are obtained by solving hierarchies of equations derived either from the Liouville or the Master equation. In particular we study the one-, two-, etc., time correlation functions that describe the spatial and temporal behavior of the fluctuations inμ space. Explicit solutions are obtained for a dilute gas. The Langevin approach is briefly discussed. Our results are compared with those obtained in the extensive literature, which is reviewed in some detail.

The calculation of mode coupling contributions to equilibrium time correlation functions from the nonlinear Boltzmann equation is reconsidered. It is suggested that the use of a nonlinear kinetic equation is not appropriate in this context, but instead such calculations should be reinterpreted in terms of the Klimontovich equation for the microscopic phase space density. For hard spheres the Klimontovich equation is formally similar to the nonlinear Boltzmann equation, and this similarity is exploited to explain the successful calculation of mode coupling effects from the latter. The relationship of the Klimontovich formulation to the linear ring approximation is also established.

We consider a class of equilibrium time correlation functions, in fluids, between local physical quantities. We investigate whether the symmetry these correlationfunctions display with respect to these quantities on theN-particle level also exists on the one-particle (kinetic) level. In this context we derive a new symmetric kinetic operator for a dense, hard sphere fluid.

A discrete formulation of hydrodynamics was recently introduced, whose most important feature is that it is exactly renormalizable. Previous numerical work has found that it provides a more efficient and rapidly convergent method for calculating transport coefficients than the usual Green-Kubo method. The latter's convergence difficulties are due to the well-known “long-time tail” of the timecorrelation function which must be integrated over time. The purpose of the present paper is to present additional evidence that these difficulties are really absent in the discrete equation of motion approach. The “memory” terms in the equation of motion are calculated accurately, and shown to decay much more rapidly with time than the equilibrium time correlat

The frequency- and temperature-dependent shear fluidity, f(nu, T), of the ionic liquid [BMIm]BF4 is presented and compared with its ionic conductivity, sigma(nu,T). [BMIm]BF4 is short for 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium tetrafluoroborate. Its DC fluidity, f(DC)(T), and DC conductivity, sigma(DC)(T), are non-Arrhenius and superimpose in an Arrhenius-type representation if the respective inverse temperature axes are made to differ by a small amount, Delta = (1/T-circle times - 1/T) > 0. The observed superposition suggests that f(nu, T) should display a frequency dependence similar to sigma(nu, T-circle times). We have therefore measured f(nu, T) of [BMIm]BF4 over five decades of frequency at different temperatures. The spectra thus obtained corroborate our expectations. We model our experimental results in terms of the MIGRATION concept and arrive at the conclusion that f(nu, T) and sigma(nu, T-circle times) are Fourier transforms of quite similar time correlation functions.

We consider an overdamped Brownian particle moving in a confining asymptotically logarithmic potential, which supports a normalized Boltzmann equilibrium density. We derive analytical expressions for the two-timecorrelation function and the fluctuations of the time-averaged position of the particle for large but finite times. We characterize the occurrence of aging and nonergodic behavior as a function of the depth of the potential, and we support our predictions with extensive Langevin simulations. While the Boltzmann measure is used to obtain stationary correlationfunctions, we show how the non-normalizable infinite covariant density is related to the superaging behavior.

Molecular dynamics calculations have been carried out for the orientationally disordered phases of solid potassium cyanide. It has been found that the properties of the simulated crystal are very sensitive to the assumed charge distribution of the cyanide ion and that there is a strong correlation between the static and dynamic consequences of assumptions about the form of the interionic potential. Results are reported for the orientational distribution of the cyanide ions and for time correlation functions relevant to polarised Raman and inelastic neutron scattering experiments. The anomalous dispersion characteristic of transverse acoustic phonons in phase I is shown to be reproducible, but no single model has been found that will account for all the existing experimental data.

A theoretical study of ionic solvation dynamics in supercritical water is presented. The short-time decay of the calculated equilibrium solvation energy timecorrelation function (S-E(t)) is found to be in good agreement with the recent computer simulation results, The simulated long-time decay is, however, somewhat slower than that which is predicted by the present theory. Two plausible molecular explanations for the slow long-time decay of S-E(t) are offered. (C) 1998. Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Forward-backward semiclassical dynamics (FBSD) provides a practical methodology for including quantum mechanical effects in classical trajectory simulations of polyatomic systems. FBSD expressions for time-dependent expectation values or correlationfunctions take the form of phase space integrals with respect to trajectory initial conditions, weighted by the coherent state transform of a corrected density operator. Quantization through a discretized path integral representation of the Boltzmann operator ensures a proper treatment of zero point energy effects and of imaginary components in finite-temperature correlationfunctions, and extension to systems obeying Bose statistics is possible. Accelerated convergence is achieved via Monte Carlo or molecular dynamics sampling techniques and through the construction of improved imaginary time propagators. The accuracy of the methodology is demonstrated on several model systems, including models of Bose and Fermi particles. Applications to liquid argon, neon and para-hydrogen are presented.

Frequency fluctuation of the NO stretching mode of the sodium nitroprusside, [Fe(CN)(5)NO](2-), in H2O and D2O was studied by three-pulse infrared photon echo spectroscopy. It is found that the time-correlation function of the frequency fluctuation of this mode is characterized by time constants similar to those of the triply degenerate T-1u mode of the CN stretching of [Fe(CN)(6)](4-), showing that the vibrational frequency fluctuation is not dominated by the time-dependent anisotropic solute-solvent interaction.
