We will continue the discussion on diffusion under potential. We shall discuss the case of time-dependent and time-independent external potential with some examples (linear potential, squared potential and time-dependent harmonic potential).

Time and venue for the Discussion:

Time: Saturday (October 21, 2017), 2 PM
Venue: 326/327

Slides for diffusion in equilibrium system (first and second discussion on diffusion):
