Rev. Lett. \\textbf{108}, 093002 (2012)], is suggested. The analysis is based on a consideration of anomalous diffusion in a fractal comb [Phys. Rev. E \\textbf{83}, 052106 (2011)]. It is shown that the transport exponent is determined by the fractal geometry of the comb due to recoil distributions resulting in L\\'evy flights of atoms.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-10-08T10:43:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05.40.Fb", "37.10.Jk" ], "keywords": [ "anomalous diffusion", "experimental observation", "superdiffusive comb", "application", "one-dimensional polarization optical lattice" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review E", "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevE.86.032101", "year": 2012, "month": "Sep", "volume": 86, "number": 3, "pages": "032101" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012PhRvE..86c2101I" } } }
