Aging dynamics in interacting many-body systems (1311.3790v1)

Published 15 Nov 2013 in physics.chem-ph, cond-mat.stat-mech, and physics.bio-ph

Abstract: Low-dimensional, complex systems are often characterized by logarithmically slow dynamics. We study the generic motion of a labeled particle in an ensemble of identical diffusing particles with hardcore interactions in a strongly disordered, one-dimensional environment. Each particle in this single file is trapped for a random waiting time $\tau$ with power law distribution $\psi(\tau)\simeq\tau{-1- \alpha}$, such that the $\tau$ values are independent, local quantities for all particles. From scaling arguments and simulations, we find that for the scale-free waiting time case $0<\alpha<1$, the tracer particle dynamics is ultra-slow with a logarithmic mean square displacement (MSD) $\langle x2(t)\rangle\simeq(\log t){1/2}$. This extreme slowing down compared to regular single file motion $\langle x2(t)\rangle\simeq t{1/2}$ is due to the high likelihood that the labeled particle keeps encountering strongly immobilized neighbors. For the case $1<\alpha<2$ we observe the MSD scaling $\langle x2(t)\rangle\simeq t{\gamma}$, where $\gamma<1/2$, while for $\alpha>2$ we recover Harris law $\simeq t{1/2}$.
