Abstract
Diffusion in porous materials shows anomalous behavior over certain length
scales.
As an appropriate model we apply Sierpinski carpets with finite iteration depth
1.
Up to now usually random walks on regular fractals were used as model for such
anomalous diffusion in disordered systems.
We study disordered fractals in an attempt to capture the random nature of
disordered material by randomly mixing different Sierpinski carpet generators
2.
Besides we consider biased diffusion of charge particles with external field
applied on fractal pattern.
Analyzing diffusive processes on such structures we utilize
different methods to determine important quantities as e.g. the mean square
displacement $r^2(t) t^\gamma$ and thus the random walk
dimension $d_w= 2/\gamma$.
We find that this exponent $d_w$ shows a strong dependence on the
mixture composition and on the structural features of the carpets analyzed.
