 SPECIFIC RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION
The work done over nearly two decades makes distinct contributions to our understanding of
atomic motions in liquids. Several exact sum rules have been derived for the dynamical
correlation functions of momentum currents and energy current density fluctuations. These
results have been used to make acceptable predictions of the transport coefficients of
classical fluids. Mass and concentration dependence of transport properties in mixture of
fluids has been studied to provide results in agreement with experimental results. One of the
important contribution is to show that self-diffusion of a massive tracer in a fluid has a
limiting value which has been confirmed later on by group at University in UK.
Binary collision contribution to the memory function of current correlation functions
for a fluid, particles of which are interacting via continuous potential, is an important
contribution to the development of complete microscopic theory for classical many body
system. A method has been developed to add systematically higher order terms of binary
contribution to time correlation function. It has been shown for the first time that Mode-
Coupling contribution is one of the way of expressing contribution due to many body
correlations.
A simple model for diffusion coefficient developed by us has been successfully
applied by others and by us to systems like LJ fluids, Yukawa fluid, molten salt, Chemla
mixture, super ionic conductors, inert liquid mixture and confined fluids.
Inclusion of dynamical correlations in many body theory of electron and Bose systems
has brought theoretical results quite closer to experimental/computer simulation results.
Self-diffusion coefficients of a fluid confined to slab and cylindrical geometries at
nano-scale with varying widths have been studied by considering different density profiles. It
is shown that confinement to nano length scale results in anisotropic diffusion and the
diffusion coefficient is directly dependent on the width of the channel and the density profile.
Recently we have developed a model for restricted diffusion in nano-channels. The model is
built on the consideration that the confinement affects molecular motion. The model
introduces the concept of microscopic (local) self-diffusion coefficient which varies as a
function of distance from the walls of the channel. As one moves towards the confining walls
of nanotubes the self diffusion coefficient decreases, affecting the fluidity of the fluid in a
nano-channel. It has also been proved by proposing model that denser fluid provides an
additional artificial wall which restricts the flow of fluid in a narrow channel. Relevance of
the work to the human health care.
