K r a m e r s 1) has derived a diffusion equation in phase space, describing the motion of a particle subject to an external force and to the shuttling action of the Brownian forces caused by a surrounding medium in temperature equilibrium. In this paper a solution of Kramers' equation is obtained
Kramers' general theory of Brownian motion 1) based On a diffusion equation in phase space is discussed from the standpoint of statistical thermodynamics. It is concluded that for particles moving in a medium in equilibrium the restrictions imposed by the second law of thermodynamics limit I(ramers'
