Diffusion with rearranging traps.
A model for diffusion on a cubic lattice with a random distribution of traps is developed. The traps are redistributed at certain time intervals. Such models are useful for describing systems showing dynamic disorder, such as ion-conducting polymers. In the present model the traps are infinite, unlike an earlier version with finite traps. For the infinite trap version a simple analytical calculation is possible and the results agree qualitatively with simulations.
