When particles/molecules diffuse in systems that contain obstacles, the steady-state regime (during which the mean-square displacement scales linearly with time, $\left< r^2 \right> \sim t$) is preceded by a transient regime. It is common…
We formulate a scaling theory for the long-time diffusive motion in a space occluded by a high density of moving obstacles in dimensions 1, 2 and 3. Our tracers diffuse anomalously over many decades in time, before reaching a diffusive…
The diffusion of a particle in a crowded environment typically proceeds through three regimes: for very short times the particle diffuses freely until it collides with an obstacle for the first time, while for very long times diffusion the…
The standard diffusion processes are known to be obtained as the limits of appropriate random walks. These prelimiting random walks can be quite different however. The diffusion coefficient can be made responsible for the size of jumps or…
We introduce a thermal dynamics for the Ising ferromagnet where the energy variations occurring within the system exhibit a diffusive character typical of thermalizing agents such as e.g. localized excitations. Time evolution is provided by…
In recent years, several experiments highlighted a new type of diffusion anomaly, which was called Brownian yet non-Gaussian diffusion. In systems displaying this behavior, the mean squared displacement of the diffusing particles grows…
We introduce a diffusion model for energetically inhomogeneous systems. A random walker moves on a spin-S Ising configuration, which generates the energy landscape on the lattice through the nearest-neighbors interaction. The underlying…
The ferromagnetic transition in the Ising model is the paradigmatic example of ergodicity breaking accompanied by symmetry breaking. It is routinely assumed that the thermodynamic limit is taken with free or periodic boundary conditions.…
A continuous time random walk (CTRW) model with waiting times following the Levy-stable distribution with exponential cut-off in equilibrium is a simple theoretical model giving rise to normal, yet non-Gaussian diffusion. The distribution…
Charge transport processes in disordered complex media are accompanied by anomalously slow relaxation for which usually a broad distribution of relaxation times is adopted. To account for those properties of the environment, a standard…
In a preceding paper, Mukhopadhyay and I studied the diffusive motion of a tagged molecule in a heterogeneous glass-forming liquid at temperatures just above a glass transition. Among other features of this system, we postulated a relation…
In this paper we deal with anomalous diffusions induced by Continuous Time Random Walks - CTRW in $\mathbb{R}^n$. A particle moves in $\mathbb{R}^n$ in such a way that the probability density function $u(\cdot,t)$ of finding it in region…
Anomalous diffusions arise as scaling limits of continuous-time random walks (CTRWs) whose innovation times are distributed according to a power law. The impact of a non-exponential waiting time does not vanish with time and leads to…
Systems living in complex non equilibrated environments often exhibit subdiffusion characterized by a sublinear power-law scaling of the mean square displacement. One of the most common models to describe such subdiffusive dynamics is the…
We find the exact critical temperature $T_c$ of the nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic Ising model on an `equilibrium' random graph with an arbitrary degree distribution $P(k)$. We observe an anomalous behavior of the magnetization, magnetic…
Continuous-time random walk (CTRW) is a model of anomalous sub-diffusion in which particles are immobilized for random times between successive jumps. A power-law distribution of the waiting times, $\psi(\tau) \tau^{-(1+\alpha)}$, leads to…
The continuous time random walk (CTRW) approach has been widely applied to model large-scale non-Fickian transport in the flow through disordered media. Often, the underlying microscopic transport mechanisms and disorder characteristics are…
It is well known that on long time scales the behaviour of tracer particles diffusing in a cellular flow is effectively that of a Brownian motion. This paper studies the behaviour on "intermediate" time scales before diffusion sets in.…
Diffusion is a fundamental physical phenomenon with critical applications in fields such as metallurgy, cell biology, and population dynamics. While standard diffusion is well-understood, anomalous diffusion often requires complex non-local…
We analyse how simple local constraints in two dimensions lead a defect to exhibit robust, non-transient, and tunable, subdiffusion. We uncover a rich dynamical phenomenology realised in ice- and dimer-type models. On the microscopic scale…
