An integro-differential expression for the diffusion current of the impurities diffusing by the mechanism of bound impurity-defect pairs has been derived. The ensuing nonlocal diffusion equation generalizes the existing theories of…
Vacancy-mediated diffusion of impurities under strong impurity-vacancy (I-v) attraction has been studied in the framework of the five-frequency model (5FM) for the FCC host. The system of impurities and tightly bound I-v pairs has been…
Fickian yet non-Gaussian diffusion is observed in several biological and soft matter systems, yet the underlying mechanisms behind the emergence of non-Gaussianity while retaining a linear mean square displacement remain speculative. Here,…
We study the transport properties of a Luttinger liquid in the presence of several time-dependent weak point-like impurities. Our starting point is the bosonized form of the Luttinger liquid Hamiltonian with a potential introduced by the…
The nonequilibrium Fokker-Planck dynamics with a non-conservative drift field, in dimension $N\geq 2$, can be related with the non-Hermitian quantum mechanics in a real scalar potential $V$ and in a purely imaginary vector potential -$iA$…
We use Molecular Dynamics combined with Dissipative Particle Dynamics to construct a model of a binary mixture where the two species differ only in their dynamic properties (friction coefficients). For an asymmetric mixture of slow and fast…
Diffusion in inhomogeneous materials can be described by both the Fick and Fokker--Planck diffusion equations. Here, we study a mixed Fick and Fokker-Planck diffusion problem with coefficients rapidly oscillating both in space and time. We…
We derive the distribution of particle currents for a system of interacting active Brownian particles in the long time limit using large deviation theory and a weighted many body expansion. We find the distribution is non-Gaussian, except…
The motion of contaminant particles through complex environments such as fractured rocks or porous sediments is often characterized by anomalous diffusion: the spread of the transported quantity is found to grow sublinearly in time due to…
Impurity diffusion coefficients are entirely obtained from a low cost classical molecular statics technique (CMST). In particular, we show how the CMST is appropriate in order to describe the impurity diffusion behavior mediated by a…
Defects, i.e. inhomogeneities of the underlying lattice, are ubiquitous in magnetic materials and can have a crucial impact on their applicability in spintronic devices. For magnetic skyrmions, localized and topologically non-trivial spin…
Miscible tracer dispersion measurements in transparent model fractures with different types of wall roughness are reported. The nature (Fickian or not) of dispersion is determined by studying variations of the mixing front as a function of…
This paper derives the Fokker-Planck (FP) equation for a particle moving in potential by a randomly modulated dipole. The FP equation describes the anomalous diffusion observed in the companion paper [1] and breaks the conservation of the…
Fractional, anomalous diffusion in space-periodic potentials is investigated. The analytical solution for the effective, fractional diffusion coefficient in an arbitrary periodic potential is obtained in closed form in terms of two…
Usually, in a non-equilibrium setting, a current brings mass from the highest density regions to the lowest density ones. Although rare, the opposite phenomenon (known as "uphill diffusion") has also been observed in multicomponent systems,…
Propagation of a fluid-driven crack in an impermeable linear elastic medium under axis-symmetric conditions is investigated in the present work. The fluid exerting the pressure inside the crack is an incompressible Newtonian one and its…
This is an attempt to address diffusion phenomena from the point of view of information theory. We imagine a regular hamiltonian system under the random perturbation of thermal (molecular) noise and chaotic instability. The irregularity of…
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…
Dynamic heterogeneity, believed to be one of the hallmarks of the dynamics of supercooled liquids, is expected to affect the diffusion of the particles comprising the liquid. We have carried out extensive molecular dynamics simulations of…
Anomalous diffusion is an established phenomenon but still a theoretical challenge in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. Physical models are built incrementally, and the most recent and most general family is based on the fractional…
