Abstract

The well known Maxwell-Garnett equation for the effective diffusion coefficient in two-phase media (a matrix with spherical inclusions) is modified in order to describe a wide range of experimental situations. This novel approach correctly treats the partial trapping of a diffusing particle by an inclusion as well as the consequences of an energy barrier for the particle penetration into an inclusion.
