Anomalous diffusion of particles with inertia in external potentials.

چکیده
Recently a new type of Kramers-Fokker-Planck equation has been proposed [Friedrich, R.; Jenko, F.; Baule, A.; Eule, S. Phys. Rev. Lett. 2006, 96, 230601] describing anomalous diffusion in external potentials. In the present paper, the explicit cases of a harmonic potential and a velocity-dependent damping are incorporated. Exact relations for moments for these cases are presented, and the asymptotic behavior for long times is discussed. Interestingly, the bounding potential and the additional damping by itself lead to a subdiffusive behavior. While acting together, the particle becomes localized for long periods of time.

Langevin Equations for Anomalous Diffusion in External Potentials - Biasing and Decoupled Forces
The role of external forces in systems exhibiting anomalous diffusion is discussed on the basis of the describing Langevin equations. Since there exist different possibilities to include the effect of an external field the concept of biasing and decoupled external fields is introduced. Complementary to the recently established Langevin equations for anomalous diffusion in a time-dependent exter...
متن کاملAnomalous diffusion for inertial particles under gravity in parallel flows.
We investigate the bounds between normal or anomalous effective diffusion for inertial particles transported by parallel flows. The infrared behavior of the fluid kinetic-energy spectrum, i.e., the possible presence of long-range spatiotemporal correlations, is modeled as a power law by means of two parameters, and the problem is studied as a function of these latter. Our results, obtained in t...
متن کاملWeak Disorder in Periodic Potentials: Anomalous Transport and Diffusion
Particles driven through a periodic potential by an external constant force are known to exhibit a pronounced peak of the diffusion around the critical deterministic force that defines the transition between locked and running states. It has recently been shown both experimentally and numerically that this peak is greatly enhanced if some amount of spatial disorder is superimposed on the period...
متن کاملWeak disorder: anomalous transport and diffusion are normal yet again.
We carry out a detailed study of the motion of particles driven by a constant external force over a landscape consisting of a periodic potential corrugated by a small amount of spatial disorder. We observe anomalous behavior in the form of subdiffusion and superdiffusion and even subtransport over very long time scales. Recent studies of transport over slightly random landscapes have focused on...
متن کاملNon-monotonic crossover from single-file to regular diffusion in micro-channels
The diffusion behavior of interacting particles determines the behavior of a large number of systems ranging from pedestrians crossing a road to ions passing through channels in living cells. Here we present a system in which the nature of the diffusion process varies with changes in the external conditions. We find this special behavior in a colloidal model system, consisting of micron sized p...
