摘要
We employ a simple model for rotational diffusivity D-R of dumbbells in porous media in order to study spatially heterogeneous and non-Gaussian dynamics at Fickian time scales. We obtain the distribution P(D-R) of D-R%26apos;s of single dumbbells for both ergodic and nonergodic systems. When a pore percolating network disappears beyond the pore percolation transition and the rotational dynamics becomes nonergodic, each single dumbbell undergoes Gaussian rotational dynamics but with different D-R, which depends solely on the local pore structure. We also construct a map of heterogeneous dynamic regions and illustrate that such seemingly Fickian but non-Gaussian dynamics could be understood as the linear combination of the Gaussian rotational displacement distribution functions of each dumbbell. With a percolating pore network, the rotational dynamics becomes ergodic, and P(D-R) is a delta function at the average value of D-R.
