Brownian motion in a magnetic field
We derive explicit forms of Markovian transition probability densities for the velocity-space, phase-space, and the Smoluchowski configuration-space Brownian motion of a charged particle in a constant magnetic field. By invoking a hydrodynamical formalism for those stochastic processes, we quantify...

Zusammenfassung: | We derive explicit forms of Markovian transition probability densities for the velocity-space, phase-space, and the Smoluchowski configuration-space Brownian motion of a charged particle in a constant magnetic field. By invoking a hydrodynamical formalism for those stochastic processes, we quantify a continual (net on the local average) heat transfer from the thermostat to diffusing particles. |
