The Langevin Equation
The book is suitable for a lecture course on the theory of Brownian motion, being based on final year undergraduate lectures given at Trinity College, Dublin. Topics that are discussed include: white noise; the Chapman-Kolmogorov equation ? Kramers-Moyal expansion; the Langevin equation; the Fokker-Planck equation; Brownian motion of a free particle; spectral density and the Wiener-Khintchin theorem ? Brownian motion in a potential application to the Josephson effect, ring laser gyro; Brownian motion in two dimensions; harmonic oscillators; itinerant oscillators; linear response theory; rotational Brownian motion; application to loss processes in dielectric and ferrofluids; superparamagnetism and nonlinear relaxation processes.As the first elementary book on the Langevin equation approach to Brownian motion, this volume attempts to fill in all the missing details which students find particularly hard to comprehend from the fundamental papers contained in the Dover reprint ? Selected Papers on Noise and Stochastic Processes, ed. N Wax (1954) ? together with modern applications particularly to relaxation in ferrofluids and polar dielectrics.
Thomas Coffey and His Descendants
Thomas Coffey was born 7 March 1742 in Essex County, Virginia, the son of John and Jane Coffey. His grandfather Coffey came from Ireland to Liverpool then immigrated to Essex County, Virginia in about 1690. Thomas married twice, first to Elisabeth Smith, and second to Sarah Fields. He moved to Wilkes County, North Carolina sometime between 1775 and 1780 and settled on the upper waters of the Yadkin River, where he remained until his death in 1825. Descendants lived in North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and elsewhere.
