Title: Super-Arrhenius Diffusion in an Undercooled Binary Lennard-Jones Liquid Results from a Quantifiable Correlation Effect
Abstract:On short time scales an underlying Arrhenius temperature dependence of the diffusion constant can be extracted from the fragile, super-Arrhenius diffusion of a binary Lennard-Jones mixture. This Arrhe...On short time scales an underlying Arrhenius temperature dependence of the diffusion constant can be extracted from the fragile, super-Arrhenius diffusion of a binary Lennard-Jones mixture. This Arrhenius diffusion is related to the true super-Arrhenius behavior by a factor that depends on the average angle between steps in successive time windows. The correction factor accounts for the fact that on average, successive displacements are negatively correlated, and this effect can therefore be linked directly with the higher apparent activation energy for diffusion at low temperature.Read More
