Power-law behavior in the power spectrum induced by Brownian motion of a domain wall

Abstract

We show that Brownian motion of a one-dimensional domain wall in a large but finite system yields a ${\omega }^{-3/2}$ power spectrum. This is successfully applied to the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) with open boundaries. An excellent agreement between our theory and numerical results is obtained in a frequency range where the domain wall motion dominates and discreteness of the system is not effective.
