Description

We present a thermo-kinetic description of anomalous diffusion of single-particles and clusters in a viscoelastic medium in terms of a non-Markovian diffusion equation involving memory functions. The scaling behaviour of these functions is analyzed by considering hydrodynamics and cluster-size space random walk arguments. We explain experimental results on diffusion of Brownian particles in the cytoskeleton, in cluster-cluster aggregation and in a suspension of micelles.
