Two particle model for the diffusion of interacting particles in periodic potentials

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

The random motion of two interacting particles in a periodic potential with a finite number of sites is investigated as a model that may be applied to superionic conductivity. Starting from the Fokker-Planck-equation for the model and using an appropriate series expansion for the probability density, solutions for the frequency dependent conductivity are given. Explicit numerical results are shown for hard-core and Coulomb interaction in the range of intermediate and high friction constants.
