Entropic Effects of Interacting Particles Diffusing on Spherical Surfaces

We present a molecular dynamics and theoretical study on the diffusion of interacting particles embedded on the surface of a sphere. By proposing five different interaction potentials among particles, we perform molecular dynamics simulations and calculate the mean square displacement (MSD) of trace...
