Multiple scattering of light in superdiffusive media.
Light transport in superdiffusive media of finite size is studied theoretically. The intensity Green's function for a slab geometry is found by discretizing the fractional diffusion equation and employing the eigenfunction expansion method. Truncated step length distributions and complex boundary conditions are considered. The profile of a coherent backscattering cone is calculated in the super...
متن کاملBranching diffusion in inhomogeneous media
We investigate the long-time evolution of branching diffusion processes (starting with a finite number of particles) in inhomogeneous media. The qualitative behavior of the processes depends on the intensity of the branching. In the super-critical regime, we describe the asymptotics of the number of particles in a given domain. In the sub-critical and critical regimes, we describe the distribut...
متن کاملLévy flights in inhomogeneous media.
We investigate the impact of external periodic potentials on superdiffusive random walks known as Lévy flights and show that even strongly superdiffusive transport is substantially affected by the external field. Unlike ordinary random walks, Lévy flights are surprisingly sensitive to the shape of the potential while their asymptotic behavior ceases to depend on the Lévy index mu. Our analysis ...
متن کاملLocalized waves in inhomogeneous media
This review examines the localization of one-dimensional nonlinear waves in an inhomogeneous multiphase medium. Particular attention is devoted to the localization of two types of waves, namely, solitary waves (domains) and switching waves that are the separation boundaries between the corresponding phases (domain walls). The localized state of such waves on both point and slowly-varying (in sp...
متن کاملDiffusion in spatially and temporarily inhomogeneous media.
In this paper we consider diffusion of a passive substance C in a temporarily and spatially inhomogeneous two-dimensional medium. As a realization for the latter we choose a phase-separating medium consisting of two substances A and B , whose dynamics is determined by the Cahn-Hilliard equation. Assuming different diffusion coefficients of C in A and B , we find that the variance of the distrib...
