We study the diffusion of an ensemble of overdamped particles sliding over a tilted random poten- tial (produced by the interaction of a particle with a random polymer) with long-range correlations. We found that the diffusion properties of…

Deviations from Brownian motion leading to anomalous diffusion are found in transport dynamics from quantum physics to life sciences. The characterization of anomalous diffusion from the measurement of an individual trajectory is a…

Infiltration of diffusing particles from one material to another where the diffusion mechanism is either normal or anomalous is a widely observed phenomena. When the diffusion is anomalous we find interesting behaviors: diffusion may lead…
