Generalized Langevin Theory and Density Fluctuations in Water
摘要
The present chapter is devoted to explain the generalized Langevin theory and its application to water. The GLT has been originally formulated for a quantum–mechanical system by H. Mori, and it has been reformulated for the classical fluid by H. L. Friedman (Mori in Phys Rev 112:1829, 1958; Mori in Prog Theor Phys (Jpn) 27:427, 1962; Mori in Prog Theor Phys (Jpn) 33:423–455, 1965; Friedman in A course in statistical mechanics. Prentice-Hall, New Jersey, 1985). The theory was applied to the interaction-site model of water by the author in 1992 (Hirata in J Chem Phys 96:4619–4624, 1992).
