1D Nonequilibrium Multi-Particle Transport

Multi-particle transport phenomena are important for understanding the mechanisms of nonequilirbrium processes in chemistry, physics and biology (such as gel electrophoresis, kinetics of biopolymerization, ion channels, traffic problems, polymer dynamics, surface growth, anomalous conductivity). The complexity of these problems arises from the nonequilibrium nature of these phenomena. We are investigating the effects of detachments/attachments, inhomogeneity, chemical processes and particles size on transport properties of interacting particles. These problems are studied by the means of exact analysis, mean-field theories and Monte Carlo simulations.
