A general expression is introduced for the tracer diffusivity in complex periodic energy landscapes with more than one distinct hop rate in two- and three-dimensional diluted systems (low coverage, single-tracer limit). For diffusion in two…

In this work the diffusion in the quenched trap model with diverging mean waiting times is examined. The approach of randomly stopped time is extensively applied in order to obtain asymptotically exact representation of the disorder…
