We present a first-principles thermodynamic approach to provide an alternative to the Langevin equation by identifying the deterministic (no stochastic component) microforce F_{k,BP} acting on a nonequilibrium Brownian particle (BP) in its kth microstate m_{k}. (The prefix micro refers to microstate quantities and carry a suffix k.) The deterministic new equation is easier to solve using basic calculus. Being oblivious to the second law, F_{k,BP} does not always oppose motion but viscous dissipation emerges upon ensemble averaging. The equipartition theorem is always satisfied. We reproduce well-known results of the BP in equilibrium. We explain how the microforce is obtained directly from the mutual potential energy of interaction beween the BP and the medium after we average it over the medium so we only have to consider the particles in the BP. Our approach goes beyond the phenomenological and equilibrium approach of Langevin and unifies nonequilibrium viscous dissipation from mesoscopic to macroscopic scales and provides new insight into Brownian motion beyond Langevins and Einsteins formulation.
Brownian motion of a particle with an arbitrary shape is investigated theoretically. Analytical expressions for the time-dependent cross-correlations of the Brownian translational and rotational displacements are derived from the Smoluchowski equatio
At fast timescales, the self-similarity of random Brownian motion is expected to break down and be replaced by ballistic motion. So far, an experimental verification of this prediction has been out of reach due to a lack of instrumentation fast and p
The condition of thermal equilibrium simplifies the theoretical treatment of fluctuations as found in the celebrated Einsteins relation between mobility and diffusivity for Brownian motion. Several recent theories relax the hypothesis of thermal equi
Glasses are solid materials whose constituent atoms are arranged in a disordered manner. The transition from a liquid to a glass remains one of the most poorly understood phenomena in condensed matter physics, and still no fully microscopic theory ex
Microscopic theory of Brownian motion of a particle of mass $M$ in a bath of molecules of mass $mll M$ is considered beyond lowest order in the mass ratio $m/M$. The corresponding Langevin equation contains nonlinear corrections to the dissipative fo
