Theoretical expressions are developed to describe self-diffusion in submonolayer colloidal fluids that require only equilibrium structural information as input. Submonolayer colloidal fluids are defined for the purpose of this work to occur when gravity confines colloids near a planar wall surface so that they behave thermodynamically as two dimensional fluids. Expressions for self-diffusion are generalized to consider different colloid and surface interaction potentials and interfacial concentrations from infinite dilution to near fluid-solid coexistence. The accuracy of these expressions is demonstrated by comparing self-diffusion coefficients predicted from Monte Carlo simulated equilibrium particle configurations with standard measures of self-diffusion evaluated from Stokesian Dynamics simulated particle trajectories. It is shown that diffusivities predicted for simulated equilibrium fluid structures via multibody hydrodynamic resistance tensors and particle distribution functions display excellent agreement with values computed from mean squared displacements and autocorrelation functions of simulated tracer particles. Results are obtained for short and long time self-diffusion both parallel and normal to underlying planar wall surfaces in fluids composed of particles having either repulsive electrostatic or attractive van der Waals interactions. The demonstrated accuracy of these expressions for self-diffusion should allow their direct application to experiments involving submonolayer colloidal fluids having a range of interaction potentials and interfacial concentrations. ©2006 American Institute of Physics
