Diffusion on negatively curved surfaces, like those made of heptagons, shows linear displacement over time for both classical and quantum particles. This behavior resembles diffusion on complex networks.

Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Mathematics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Diffusion is a fundamental physical process.
  • Negatively curved surfaces exhibit unique geometric properties.
  • Understanding diffusion on non-Euclidean geometries is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate diffusion phenomena on a negatively curved surface composed of heptagons.
  • To analyze the behavior of both classical and quantum particles on this surface.
  • To compare diffusion on this surface with that on complex networks.

Main Methods:

  • Modeling diffusion on a heptagonal lattice using a classical random walker.
  • Applying the tight-binding model Hamiltonian to study quantum particle diffusion.
  • Analyzing the relationship between boundary growth and particle displacement.

Main Results:

  • Classical random walkers exhibit linear displacement over time.
  • Quantum particle diffusion on the heptagonal lattice also shows linear displacement.
  • The exponential increase in boundary size with distance is a key factor.

Conclusions:

  • Diffusion on this specific negatively curved surface is characterized by linear displacement.
  • Quantum diffusion mirrors classical diffusion on this heptagonal lattice.
  • The findings offer insights into diffusion processes in complex and curved geometries.
