Abstract
The influence of a uniform driving force on tracer diffusion is investigated for a one-dimensional lattice gas where particles jump stochastically to unoccupied neighboring sites. A new, simple calculation is presented for the diffusion coefficient of a tracer particle with respect to its average drift, obtained recently by rigorous methods by De Masi and Ferrari. A theoretical expression describing the tracer particle mean square displacement approximately for all times is derived and found to be in excellent agreement with the results of Monte Carlo simulations.
