Abstract |
We study the random walk of a particle on a linear chain, where a jump length 1 or 2 is assigned randomly to each lattice site with probability p1 and p2=1-p1, respectively. We find that the probability peff1 for the particle to be at a site with jump length 1 is different from p1, which causes the diffusion coefficient D to differ from the mean-field result. A theory is developed that allows us to calculate peff1 and D for all values of p1. In the limit p1→0, the theory yields a nonanalytic dependence of peff1 on p1,peff1∼-p21ln p1
