Abstract:The diffusion behaviour of a Brownian particle in a crystal with randomly distributed topological defects is analyzed by means of the continuum theory of defects combined with the theory of diffusion on manifolds. A path-integral representation of the diffusion process is used for the calculation of cumulants of the particle position averaged over a defect ensemble. For a random distribution of disclinations the problem of Brownian motion reduces to a known random-drift problem. Depending on the properties of the disclination ensemble, this yields various types of subdiffusional behaviour. In a random array of parallel screw dislocations one finds a normal, but anisotropic, diffusion behaviour of the mean-square displacement. Moreover, the process turns out to be non-Gaussian, and reveals long-time tails in the higher-order cumulants.Dedicated to Professor Herbert Wagner on the occasion of his 60th birthday
