Diffusion of finite-sized hard-core interacting particles in a one-dimensional box: Tagged particle dynamics

We solve a nonequilibrium statistical-mechanics problem exactly, namely, the single-file dynamics of N hard-core interacting particles (the particles cannot pass each other) of size Δ diffusing in a one-dimensional system of finite length L with reflecting boundaries at the ends. We obtain an exact...
