It is rigorously shown that an admittance which is equal to the Fourier-Laplace transform of the first-passage time distribution is non-self-averaging when the disorder is strong. The low frequency behavior of the disorder-averaged admittance, $<\\chi > -1 \\sim \\omega^{\\mu}$ where $\\mu < 1$, does not coincide with the low frequency behavior of the admittance for any sample, $\\chi - 1 \\sim \\omega$. It implies that the Cole-Cole plot of $<\\chi>$ appears at a different position from the Cole-Cole plots of $\\chi$ of any sample. These results are confirmed by Monte-Carlo simulations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-12-25T11:04:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "complex admittance", "random media", "low frequency behavior", "cole-cole plot", "oscillatory input current" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
