Two early-stage inverse power law dynamics in nonlinear complex systems far from equilibrium

We consider the dynamics of the charge carriers in a tunneling-enhanced percolation network, named as a Random Resistor cum Tunneling-bond Network (RRTN), where we allow tunneling in the gap between two randomly thrown nearest-neighbour metallic bonds only. Our earlier studies involve the dc and ac nonlinear response, the percolative aspects, dielectric breakdown, the finite-temperature variable-range hopping conductivity, etc. in the RRTN. Here we study the non-equilibrium dynamics of the carriers. With two far-from-equilibrium, initial inverse power law relaxations extending over several decades, the dynamics has a lot of similarities with many avalanche-like, run-away phenomena occurring in a wide variety of naturally occuring driven, disordered systems with statistically correlated randomness. In this regime, the RRTN violates the Boltzmann's ( or, Debye) relaxation time approximation strongly. Beyond this regime, the response decays exponentially fast ( acquires a time-scale) to a steady state.
