… measurements on the Brownian movement showed that Einstein's theory was in perfect agreement with reality. Through these measurements a new determination of Avogadro's number was obtained.

“It is of great importance since it permits exact computation of Avogadro number … . The great significance as a matter of principle is, however … that one sees directly under the microscope part of the heat energy in the form of mechanical energy.”

Lessons from the Einstein’s work:§ Universality: the equation is valid as long as the process is marcovian§ Can be applied to the probability and thus describes both fluctuations and dissipation § There is a universal relation between the diffusion constant and the viscosity§ Studies of the diffusion processes brings information about micro scales.

Electrons in nanostructuresElectrons in nanostructures
Clean systems without boundaries:•Electrons are characterized by their momenta or quasimomenta[ electronic wave functions are plane waves
•Physics is essentially local
•Interaction between electrons is often apparently not important
•Due to the scattering of the electrons off disorder (impurities)and/or boundaries the momentum is not a good quantum number
•Response to external perturbation is usually nonlocal
•Interaction between electrons is often crucial

Does velocity diverge atNo because at times shorter than mean free time process is not marcovian and there is no diffusion
Diffusion description fails at large scalesWhy?
Einstein: there is no diffusion at too shortscales – there is memory, i.e., the process is not marcovian.

2. Suppose you know β(g) for some number of dimensions d. Let g at some size of the system L0 be close to the critical value: Estimate the localization length ξ (for δg<0) and the conductivity σ in the limit (for δg>0) L → ∞

How to deal with disorder?•Solve the Shrodinger equation exactly
•Make statistical analysis
What if there in no disorder?
