Coherent memory functions for finite molecular systems. A direct method of calculation

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

A new direct method for calculation of coherent memory functions (MFs) entering the Nakajima-Zwanzig (or GME) equation is presented for rigid molecular chains with natural boundary conditions. The method is illustrated on the chains with three and five molecules and various kinds of imperfections. Obtained results imply a necessity of a more careful interpretation of experimental data (e.g. diffusivity).
