Quantifying brain microstructure with diffusion MRI: Theory and parameter estimation

DS Novikov, E Fieremans, SN Jespersen… - NMR in …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
We review, systematize and discuss models of diffusion in neuronal tissue, by putting them
into an overarching physical context of coarse‐graining over an increasing diffusion length …

Anomalous diffusion in disordered media: statistical mechanisms, models and physical applications

JP Bouchaud, A Georges - Physics reports, 1990 - Elsevier
The subject of this paper is the evolution of Brownian particles in disordered environments.
The “Ariadne's clew” we follow is understanding of the general statistical mechanisms which …

Random walks with barriers

DS Novikov, E Fieremans, JH Jensen, JA Helpern - Nature physics, 2011 - nature.com
Restrictions to molecular motion by barriers (membranes) are ubiquitous in porous media,
composite materials and biological tissues. A major challenge is to characterize the …

Applications of field-theoretic renormalization group methods to reaction–diffusion problems

UC Täuber, M Howard… - Journal of Physics A …, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
We review the application of field-theoretic renormalization group (RG) methods to the study
of fluctuations in reaction–diffusion problems. We first investigate the physical origin of …

Classical diffusion of a particle in a one-dimensional random force field

JP Bouchaud, A Comtet, A Georges, P Le Doussal - Annals of Physics, 1990 - Elsevier
We present a comprehensive study of the motion of a damped Brownian particle evolving in
a static, one dimensional gaussian random force field. We provide both a clear physical …

Directed quantum chaos

KB Efetov - Physical review letters, 1997 - APS
Quantum disordered problems with a direction (imaginary vector potential) are discussed
and mapped onto a supermatrix σ model. It is argued that the 0D version of the σ model may …

Diffusion in a random velocity field: Spectral properties of a non-hermitian fokker-planck operator

JT Chalker, ZJ Wang - Physical review letters, 1997 - APS
We study spectral properties of the Fokker-Planck operator that describes particles diffusing
in a quenched random velocity field. This random operator is non-Hermitian and has …

Superdiffusive central limit theorem for a Brownian particle in a critically-correlated incompressible random drift

S Armstrong, A Bou-Rabee, T Kuusi - arxiv preprint arxiv:2404.01115, 2024 - arxiv.org
We consider the long-time behavior of a diffusion process on $\mathbb {R}^ d $ advected by
a stationary random vector field which is assumed to be divergence-free, dihedrally …

Brownian motion in short range random potentials

AH Romero, JM Sancho - Physical Review E, 1998 - APS
A numerical study of Brownian motion of noninteracting particles in random potentials is
presented. The dynamics are modeled by Langevin equations in the high friction limit. The …

Diffusion in a random medium with long-range correlations

J Konkonen, E Karjalainen - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical …, 1988 - iopscience.iop.org
A renormalisation group analysis of anomalous diffusion in a random medium with
constrained long-range correlations is carried out to two-loop order. The crossover between …
