Non-ergodic diffusion on quenched, scale-free disorder in two dimensions

ORAL

Abstract

We discuss our recently introduced models of diffsion on media with random diffusivity~[1] and their application to transport in cell membranes~[2]. We find that the diffusion shows weak ergodicity breaking, and compute the anomalous exponents as a function of model parameters. We also report recent results on criteria for prediciting weak ergodicity breaking in random walks on specific models of quenched, scale-free, random media. \\[4pt] [1] P. Massignan, C. Manzo, J. A.
