Scatter Plot from Scientific Research

Measured x displacement of a non-spinning trimer (orange symbols) during a recoil experiment in which the trimer is first driven with velocity v 0 = 0.95 μm s −1 through the micellar fluid and the applied force is suddenly removed at t , x = 0. The data are normalized by v 0 . The solid line represents a fitting to the equation (x={a}_{1}exp (-t/{τ}_{1})+{a}_{2}exp (-t/{τ}_{2})-{a}_{1}-{a}_{2}) , with a 1 = 3.14 μm, τ 1 = 5.20 s, a 2 = 7.60 μm and τ 2 = 44.5 s. Inset: Magnified region near t = 0. From the ratio of the slopes (as indicated by the dashed lines) after and before t = 0, we obtain the recoil ratio r = 1.8 ± 0.1.
