Abstract

Molecular dynamic computer simulations are performed to study the mass dependence of mutual diffusion coefficient in an isotopic, equimolar binary system. The particles of the system are assumed to be interacting via Lennard-Jones potential. The self- and mutual diffusion coefficients are calculated from the time dependence of the mean square displacement and from the velocity correlation function using the Green–Kubo formula. The study has been carried out at different densities and temperatures. Like the self-diffusion coefficient, the mutual diffusion coefficient is also found to be weakly dependent on the mass ratio. Our study also shows that the temperature of the system has a negligible effect on the mass dependence of the diffusion coefficients.
