Comment on “Long-time behavior of the angular velocity autocorrelation function” [J. Chem. Phys. 105, 9695 (1996)]

Abstract: It is pointed out that Masters, in his analysis of the long-time tail of the angular velocity autocorrelation function of a Brownian particle, incorrectly incorporates a nonlinear effect in the calculation of the linear frequency-dependent friction matrix.

“…Thus the in-cage librations manifest themselves through a slow algebraic t −3/2 decay of the OCF. This behavior is caused by the angular momentum reversion (γ = −1) and has nothing in common with long-time hydrodynamic tails of the angular velocity CFs of Brownian particles (see 12,75,76 and references therein) 77 . It is interesting to point out that the OCFs calculated within the M-39,78 and E-41 diffusion models exhibit similar (∼ t −3/2 ) long time tails, which are commonly regarded as unphysical.…”

“…d j km (β) being the reduced Wigner function 63 . It is well known that the exponent d of the long-time hydrodynamic tails t −d/2 of the angular velocity CFs of Brownian particles is determined by the dimensionality of the rotation space: d = 3 for any spherical, symmetric or asymmetric top while d = 2 for a linear rotor ( 75,76 and references therein). This general statement holds true in the present case also, and OCF (36) possesses a ∼ t −1 tail.…”

“…† However, when the hydrodynamic forces are explicitly taken into account, the exponential decay only holds for times smaller than the viscous relaxation time t ν (i.e., for t t ν ). The long time behavior (t > t ν ) of the VACF and AVACF for an centrally symmetric ellipsoidal particle, immersed in a bulk fluid, follows an algebraic decay (Hocquart & Hinch 1983;Lowe et al 1995;Masters 1996;Cichocki & Felderhof 1997;Masters 1997) given by…”

“…There has been a considerable amount of published literature (Hocquart & Hinch 1983;Lowe et al 1995;Masters 1996;Cichocki & Felderhof 1997;Masters 1997) related to the particle shape dependence on the VACF and AVACF. Almost all of these studies concern themselves with the long time algebraic decay of AVACF in unconfined systems.…”

“…Only in the artificial case of a Brownian particle with zero rotational diffusion constant does one find a shape-dependent tail. [6][7][8] Given this summary of our position, we turn to the points raised in the Comment by Cichocki and Felderhof. 8 In their Comment, Cichocki and Felderhof claim that particle reorientation is a nonlinear effect and, as such, plays no role in determining the form of the AVACF.…”
