A model for atomic and molecular motion in liquids

Abstract

A form is proposed for the trajectory of an atom in a liquid. This has most of the well-known time-dependent properties of such a trajectory. It also gives an excellent quantitative explanation of the geometrical finite-fractal properties of trajectories in liquids. It is to be expected that this analytic expression for trajectories which is readily computable will be useful in the investigation of many properties of liquids.
