Memory and Friction: From the Nanoscale to the Macroscale
Benjamin A. Dalton, Anton Klimek, Henrik Kiefer +5
Friction is a phenomenon that manifests across all spatial and temporal scales, from the molecular to the macroscopic scale. It describes the dissipation of energy from the motion…

Effect of Frequency-Dependent Viscosity on Molecular Friction in Liquids
Henrik Kiefer, Domenico Vitali, Benjamin A. Dalton +2
The relation between the frequency-dependent friction of a molecule in a liquid and the hydrodynamic properties of the liquid is fundamental for molecular dynamics. We investigate…

Conformational isomerization dynamics in solvent violates both the Stokes-Einstein relation and Kramers' theory
Benjamin A. Dalton, Henrik Kiefer, Roland R. Netz
Molecular isomerization kinetics in liquid solvents are determined by a complex interplay between the friction acting on a rotating dihedral due to interactions with the solvent, i…
