Abstract

Understanding the deep connection of microscopic dynamics and statistical regularity yields insights into the foundation of statistical mechanics. In this work, based on the classical three-body system under the Lennard-Jones potential upon disturbance, we illustrated the elusive nonlinear dynamics in terms of the neat frequency-mixing processes, and revealed the emergent statistical regularity in speed distribution along a single particle trajectory. This work demonstrates the promising possibility of classical few-body models for exploring the fundamental questions on the interface of microscopic dynamics and statistical physics.
