| contents | Single-file diffusion refers to the Brownian motion in narrow channels where particles cannot pass each other. In such processes, the diffusion of a tagged particle is typically normal at short times and becomes subdiffusive at long times. For hard-sphere interparticle interaction, the time-dependent mean squared displacement of a tracer is well understood. Here we develop a scaling theory for adhesive particles. It provides a full description of the time-dependent diffusive behavior with a scaling function that depends on an effective strength of adhesive interaction. Particle clustering induced by the adhesive interaction slows down the diffusion at short times, while it enhances subdiffusion at long times. The enhancement effect can be quantified in measurements irrespective of how tagged particles are injected into the system. Combined effects of pore structure and particle adhesiveness should speed up translocation of molecules through narrow pores. |
