1. Introduction Tlte itinerant oscillator as a model for diffusional motion in condensed fluids has been a consistent theme in the literature over the past decade. It was first propounded by Hill [ 1] and extended by Wylhe [2] and Larkin [3] _ Lately, Coffey et al. [4] have developed a more realistic, inertia-corrected version in two dimensions. An alternative approach to the same problem IS that of generaliring the Langcvin equation so that the friction coefficient is replaced by a memory kernel. The autocorrelation functlon (acf) may then be expanded in a Mori continued fraction which has been shown [S] to converge under the right conditions. The purpose of this letter is to use SUC~L a continued fraction expansion to estimate the angular velocity acf for a disk, and then to use the reccntIy dcrivcd relations of Lewis et al. [G] to calculate the orIentationa acf therefrom [7]. It transpires that the angular velocity acf of Coffey et al. is formall” identical to “three-variable” Mori theory, and therefore a clear physical interprctation of higher order truncations suggests itself.
2. Theory Consider the Mori/Kubo generalisation [5] of the Langcvin equation for a disk undergoing itinerant torsiona oscillation in a plane. Neglecting dipole-dipole coupling [S], we have in the field-irce case, for a moment of inertia I:

Writing this as: p4 + bp3 + cp2 + dp + e = 0, then It has the discriminant [lOI : A = -I$ - 27Q2, where P= bd - 4.9- c2/3, and Q = -b2e + bed/3 + 8 cc/3 - d2 - 21~~127.The equation can be reduced by the substitutionp=pl - b/4 to: p’: +qp;

Now a quartic with (I, r, s real; r f 0 and A has(i) 4 distinct real roots if 4 and 4s - q2 are negative and A > 0; (ii) no real root if q and 4s - q2 arc not both negative and A > 0; (iii) 2 distinct real and 2 imaginary roots if A < 0; (iv) at least 2 equal real roots if A = 0. It is quite easy to solve the quartic numerically to any degree of accuracy (using the N.A.G. library available on most computers) given the above rules, whence it is possible to discuss the analytical forms the autocorrelation function of angular velocity will take. In case (I) we have: 386

with a simple chnngc for the fourth case. In each of eqs. (1 I)-(13) there is no linear or t term in the Maclaurin expansion of the exponent, and at very short times, each reduces to exp(-kTt2/21), the autocorrelation function for free rotation in 2-D. At long times the form in each case is exp (--t/To) where T,-, is the equivalent of the Dcbyc relaxation time.
3. Discussion The three-vanable formahsm represented by the exponential truncation at ICI(f) may bc given physical significance by reference to the Coffey/Caldcwood model [1]. Here it is assumed that the mechanical system consisting of the vibrating central molecule and Its cage of ncighbours may be represented by an annulus which is free to rotate about a central axis pcrpendlcular to itself. ConcentrIc and co-planar with the annulus is a disk (of diameter iess than the annulus) w1uch is free to rotate about the same central axis. The disk carries a dipole plying along one of its diameters whose orientation is specified by an angle 0 (t) relative to a fixed axis determined by the applied field direcilon, while the position of a pomt on the rim of the annulus is specified by an angle $J (t) relative to the same fixed axis. The mechanical interaction between the central molecule and its neighbours is represented by a restoring torque acting on the dipole and proportIonal to the displacement 0 (t) - JI (t). In our notation, K, (0) = wi, the angdar frequency of ihe disk when the annulu=, is held stationary; K1(0) = (12/I,)u~, where I, = moment of Inertia of the annulus, I2 = that of the disk, -y = kT~“/1, ; whcro T,, is the Dcbye relaxation time. In extending the Marl series to the four-variable level by truncating cxponentmllv at K,(t) we have created the followmg equations linking r(t) to a Wiener process l12(t). f(r)

Now Ii(r) IS gaussian and markovlan whereas ro(‘) and r(t) are non-markovian, although still gaussian by the central limit theorem. Thus any fluctuations S r,(O) and S r(0) induce in the surrounding molecules fluctuations which after a time cause fkrrlzerones in Ii0 and K So 6 To(f) or 6 r(t) each remains partly stationary in space [ 111. On the other hand, S r,(O) flows through the ensemble, since being markovian it must not affect ‘; again, and thus S q(r) is propagated, as would bc S r(r) for the Debye sphere, where C,(t) is a single exponential with a characteristic time tD. Further, o is a characteristic operator of one or a small number of molecules - typically the nearest neighbour cagc,so that r(t) depends on the next-nearest nei&bours etc. To say that ro(t) propagates through the fluid is to assert rotational diffusion for the nearest neighbour cage (the annulus of the model above) and thus if r,(t) propagates, the next-nearest shell must be undergoing this type of motion. So we have m the four-variable theory a disk 388
