Consider a chaotic dynamical system generating Brownian motion-like diffusion. Consider a second, non-chaotic system in which all particles localize. Let a particle experience a random combination of both systems by sampling between them in…
Nonergodicity observed in single-particle tracking experiments is usually modeled by transient trapping rather than spatial disorder. We introduce models of a particle diffusing in a medium consisting of regions with random sizes and random…

Local diffusion coefficients in disordered systems such as spin glass systems and living cells are highly heterogeneous and may change over time. Such a time-dependent and spatially heterogeneous environment results in irreproducibility of…
