摘要: The Brownian motion of a microscopic particle in fluid is one the cornerstones statistical physics and paradigm random process. One most powerful tools to quantify it was provided by Langevin, who explicitly accounted for short-time correlated "thermal" force. Langevin picture predicts ballistic motion, ~t(2) at scales, diffusive ~t long-time where x displacement during time t, average taken over thermal distribution initial conditions. equation also superdiffusive regime, ~t(3), under condition that velocity fixed rather than distributed thermally. We analyze an optically trapped air indeed find t(3) dispersion. This observation direct proof existence random, rapidly varying force imagined Langevin.
