We present a report about a new approach that can be used to describe the single-particle dynamics of colloidal crystals. This approach regards the colloidal crystal as a classical bead–spring lattice immersed in viscous fluid. In this model, the mean square displacement of a particle (MSD) and the mean product of displacement of a particle and that of another particle (x-MSD) are obtained exactly using the Langevin treatmentlike method. In other words, MSD and x-MSD are, respectively, an autocorrelation function of a particle and a cross-correlation function of two particles. As the first-order approximation of hydrodynamic interaction, effective Stokes’ viscous drag coefficient γeff is introduced to the model that includes all of the hydrodynamic effects due to the presence of all other particles. As a result of the viscous media, traveling phonon modes are transformed into relaxation modes, and the motion of a particle is comprehended as a superposition of these relaxation modes. The predicted MSD for ...
