Correlated hopping transport through a disordered system is discussed in terms of a random walk model with memory correlations on a bond disordered lattice. Correlations will in general result in a difference between the transition rate to the previously occupied site and the rate for transitions to any other nearest neighbour site. Such a correlated process corresponds exactly to Fürth’s model for a random walk with a finite memory. This paper establishes a first order master equation for Fürth’s random walk on a bond disordered lattice. The equation is found to be equivalent to a symmetrized second order equation which was used previously as the starting point for an effective medium treatment.
