Brownian motion of suspended particles in an anisotropic medium

Description

Some experimental results in the case of anisotropic media are at variance with the Einstein-Stokes formula of Brownian motion and the Singwi-Sjoelander model. The disagreement comes from the anchor effect. The concept of 'pseudoparticle' is introduced in order to retain the Singwi-Sjoelander formalism. Moessbauer spectroscopy can be used to estimate the thickness of the anchored liquid-crystalline molecular textures forming on the surface of Brownian particles
