Abstract
We consider a random walk on a homogeneous Poisson point process with energy marks. The jump rates decay exponentially in the alpha-power of the jump length and depend on the energy marks via a Boltzmann-like factor. The case alpha = 1 corresponds to the phonon-induced Mott variable range hopping in disordered solids in the regime of strong Anderson localization. We prove that for almost every realization of the marked process, the diffusively rescaled random walk, with an arbitrary start point, converges to a Brownian motion whose diffusion matrix is positive definite and independent of the environment. Finally, we extend the above result to other point processes including diluted lattices.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
