We studied biased diffusion in disordered materials. A critical bias was found to transition diffusion from pure to drift, revealing key properties of transport in complex media.

Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Diffusion processes are fundamental in various scientific fields.
  • Anisotropic disordered media present complex transport phenomena.
  • Understanding biased diffusion is crucial for material characterization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate diffusion in a two-dimensional anisotropic disordered lattice under bias.
  • To identify and characterize the transition from pure to drift diffusion.
  • To estimate the critical bias threshold (B(c)) for this transition.

Main Methods:

  • Modeling the medium using a bond percolation model with directional occupation probabilities.
  • Simulating the biased diffusion process via a random walk with unequal transition probabilities.

  • Employing Monte Carlo simulations to observe diffusion behavior.

    • Main Results:

    • Observed a distinct transition from pure diffusion to drift diffusion at a critical bias.
    • Estimated the critical bias threshold (B(c)) using an effective exponent.
    • Compared the estimated B(c) with another critical field estimation.

    Conclusions:

    • A critical bias governs the diffusion regime in anisotropic disordered lattices.
    • The effective exponent provides a method for characterizing the diffusion process and estimating critical fields.
    • This study offers insights into transport phenomena in complex, biased systems.
