Biased random walk in energetically disordered lattices
نویسندگان
چکیده
We utilize our previously reported model of energetically disordered lattices to study diffusion properties, where we now add the effect of a directional bias in the motion. We show how this leads to ballistic motion at low temperatures, but crosses over to normal diffusion with increasing temperature. This effect is in addition to the previously observed subdiffusional motion at early times, which is also observed here, and also crosses over to normal diffusion at long times. The interplay between these factors of the two crossover points is examined here in detail. The pertinent scaling laws are given for the crossover times. Finally, we deal with the case of the frequency dependent bias, which alternates ~switches! its direction with a given frequency, resulting in a different type of scaling. @S1063-651X~98!11008-5#

Effect of temperature on biased random walks in disordered media
We study diffusion on an energetically disordered lattice, where each bond between sites is characterized as a random energy barrier. In such a model it had previously been observed that the mean square displacement is sublinear with time at early times, but eventually reaches the classical linear behavior at long times, as a strong function of the temperature. In the current work we add the ef...
متن کاملRandom walk on disordered networks
Random walks are studied on disordered cellular networks in 2-and 3dimensional spaces with arbitrary curvature. The coefficients of the evolution equation are calculated in term of the structural properties of the cellular system. The effects of disorder and space-curvature on the diffusion phenomena are investigated. In disordered systems the mean square displacement displays an enhancement at...
متن کاملSingle Random Walker on Disordered Lattices
Random walks on square lattice percolating clusters were followed for up to 2 • 10 ~ steps. The mean number of distinct sites visited (SN) gives a spectral dimension of d s = 1.30 5:0.03 consistent with superuniversality (d S = 4/3) but closer to the alternative d s = 182/139, based on the low dimensionality correction. Simulations are also given for walkers on an energetically disordered latti...
متن کاملInvariance Principle for Mott Variable Range Hopping and Other Walks on Point Processes
We consider a random walk on a homogeneous Poisson point process with energy marks. The jump rates decay exponentially in the α-power of the jump length and depend on the energy marks via a Boltzmann–like factor. The case α = 1 corresponds to the phonon-induced Mott variable range hopping in disordered solids in the regime of strong Anderson localization. We prove that for almost every realizat...
متن کاملDiffusion and trapping in dendrimer structures
We investigate diffusion on models of large molecules with dendrimer structure. The models we use are topological Cayley trees. We focus on diffusion properties, such as the excursion distance, the mean square displacement of the diffusing particles, and the area probed, as given by the random walk parameter SN , the number of the distinct sites visited. Finally we look at the trapping kinetics...
