The physical model:
How does this explain the phenomenological properties of diffusion?
![Page 9: Lecture 4: Diffusion: The Macroscopic and Microscopic Theoriesranganathanlab.org/.../2018/05/QB2017_lecture4_Diffusion.pdfdiffraction, Fourier transforms systems of non-linear oscillators](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060803/60871fb757a11672e633147b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Does the (unbiased) random walk account for all these properties? Let’s look in 1-D....
What are the consequences?

3. What about the shape of the distribution of particles?
Think about coin tossing....

What about the shape of the distribution of particles?
But if the number of trials is very large and p is not too small.....the binomial distribution approaches the Gaussian distribution. The bell shaped curve!

So the random walk does indeed account for the motion of particles...
A seminal example of how simple physical theory (the random walk) can explain the rather complex behavior of particles moving under thermal agitation...

So the random walk does indeed account for the motion of particles...
But, what happened to good old Fick’s Law, which does indeed also account for the properties of diffusion? Well, it works and it still works with this new understanding....

The physical model:
So, Fick’s mapping of diffusion to Fourier’s or Ampere’s Laws of heat conduction and current flow is correct.
But what kind of force is a concentration gradient?
![Page 30: Lecture 4: Diffusion: The Macroscopic and Microscopic Theoriesranganathanlab.org/.../2018/05/QB2017_lecture4_Diffusion.pdfdiffraction, Fourier transforms systems of non-linear oscillators](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060803/60871fb757a11672e633147b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Now....the thermodynamic basis for diffusion.
To understand this, we begin with some definitions and some review of thermodynamics....
![Page 31: Lecture 4: Diffusion: The Macroscopic and Microscopic Theoriesranganathanlab.org/.../2018/05/QB2017_lecture4_Diffusion.pdfdiffraction, Fourier transforms systems of non-linear oscillators](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060803/60871fb757a11672e633147b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Now....the thermodynamic basis for diffusion.
where the gradient operator is defined as....

Now....some basic laws of thermodynamics.
free energy is a function of a number of so-called “natural variables”...
![Page 35: Lecture 4: Diffusion: The Macroscopic and Microscopic Theoriesranganathanlab.org/.../2018/05/QB2017_lecture4_Diffusion.pdfdiffraction, Fourier transforms systems of non-linear oscillators](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060803/60871fb757a11672e633147b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Now....some basic laws of thermodynamics.
and the derivative of free energy involves taking partial derivatives of the function G with respect to these natural variables...
so what are there partial derivatives? They have key physical interpretations...
![Page 36: Lecture 4: Diffusion: The Macroscopic and Microscopic Theoriesranganathanlab.org/.../2018/05/QB2017_lecture4_Diffusion.pdfdiffraction, Fourier transforms systems of non-linear oscillators](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060803/60871fb757a11672e633147b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Now....some basic laws of thermodynamics.
And so we get the basic definition of infinitesimal changes in Gibbs free energy....the basic equation of equilibrium thermodynamics.
