Analysis of a generalised Boltzmann equation for anomalous diffusion under time-dependent fields

Statistical Mechanics 2021-11-01 v1

Abstract

The generalised Boltzmann equation which treats the combined localised and delocalised nature of transport present in certain materials is extended to accommodate time-dependent fields. In particular, AC fields are shown to be a means to probe the trapping and detrapping rates of materials under certain conditions. Conditions leading to dispersive transport are considered, and the signature of fractional/anomalous diffusion under AC electric fields is presented.
