Calculating the diffusion coefficient of a random walker among immobile obstacles: New numerically exact theory and applications.

Many biological, chemical and physical problems can be reduced to that of the diffusion of a particle in a quenched system of obstacles. For example, the diffusion of proteins in the plane of a biomembrane, the migration of analytes in low field gel electrophoresis and the diffusion of particles in...
