Abstract

An assembly of "nonpassing" particles diffusing on a one-dimensional periodic substrate is shown to undergo single-file diffusion for both noiseless (ballistic) and stochastic dynamics. The dependence of the corresponding diffusion coefficients on the density and temperature of the particles and on the substrate parameters is determined by means of numerical simulations and analytically interpreted within the formalism of standard Brownian motion.
