Time dependent conductivity in disordered systems

The time dependent current in disordered systems under a step applied voltage for a planar synmetry is deduced according to the continuous time random walk approximation. Known dielectric response functions like Cole-Cole, Davidson-Cole, Havriliak-Negami and a few others are used as hopping time distribution functions in order to generate conductive responses. A theoretical relation exists between the dielectric and the conductive response which is the same one prevailing between the time derivative of the creep and the relaxation function, as found long ago by Gross (J.Appl.Phys.,18, 212, (1947)). A truncated version of the Widder method, in connection with MapleTM software facilities, was employed to obtain graphical primitives of Laplace transforms.
