TY - JOUR A1 - Magdziarz, Marcin A1 - Metzler, Ralf A1 - Szczotka, Wladyslaw A1 - Zebrowski, Piotr T1 - Correlated continuous-time random walks in external force fields T2 - Physical review : E, Statistical, nonlinear and soft matter physics N2 - We study the anomalous diffusion of a particle in an external force field whose motion is governed by nonrenewal continuous time random walks with correlated waiting times. In this model the current waiting time T-i is equal to the previous waiting time Ti-1 plus a small increment. Based on the associated coupled Langevin equations the force field is systematically introduced. We show that in a confining potential the relaxation dynamics follows power-law or stretched exponential pattern, depending on the model parameters. The process obeys a generalized Einstein-Stokes-Smoluchowski relation and observes the second Einstein relation. The stationary solution is of Boltzmann-Gibbs form. The case of an harmonic potential is discussed in some detail. We also show that the process exhibits aging and ergodicity breaking.
