title: Density scaling of the diffusion coefficient at various pressures in viscous liquids.
abstract: Fundamental thermodynamics and an earlier elastic solid-state point defect model [P. Varotsos and K. Alexopoulos, Phys. Rev. B 15, 4111 (1977); Phys. Rev. B 18, 2683 (1978)] are employed to formulate an analytical second-order polynomial function describing the density scaling of the diffusion coefficient in viscous liquids. The function parameters are merely determined by the scaling exponent, which is directly connected with the Grüneisen constant. Density scaling diffusion coefficient isotherms obtained at different pressures collapse on a unique master curve, in agreement with recent computer simulation results of Lennard-Jones viscous liquids [D. Coslovich and C. M. Roland, J. Phys. Chem. 112, 1329 (2008)].
