| Abstract: | A simple model involving random displacements of particles in a cubic lattice is used to evaluate the importance of primary and secondary recombination in cage processes and leads to estimates of the lifetime of cage pehnomena. However, it is pointed out that all such models, and treatments which attempt to relate processes at the molecular level with bulk viscosity or diffusion constants, are inherently qualitative since they ignore the important correlation between motions of neighboring molecules. |
