This study investigates random walk survival probability in 2D and 3D with static traps. Monte Carlo simulations confirm theoretical predictions for survival probability scaling with trap concentration and time.

Area of Science:

  • Statistical Physics
  • Computational Physics

Background:

  • Random walks are fundamental models in statistical physics.
  • Understanding particle or excitation survival in disordered media is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To study the survival probability of a random walk in the presence of static traps.
  • To verify theoretical predictions using computational methods.

Main Methods:

  • Efficient Monte Carlo simulations were employed.
  • A mapping onto a polymer model was utilized.
  • The study was conducted in two and three dimensions.

Main Results:

  • The survival probability P(c,t) was analyzed as a function of trap concentration (c) and time (t).

Related Experiment Videos

  • Theoretical predictions for data collapse in 2D and 3D were well-supported by simulation results.
  • Specific scaling relations for survival probability were confirmed.

    • Conclusions:

    • Monte Carlo simulations effectively validate theoretical frameworks for random walks with traps.
    • The findings provide insights into the behavior of diffusing particles in disordered environments.
