Abstract

We demonstrate that the dynamical exponent for the time dependence of the coordinate, previously found for an average over disorder, is already present in any realization of a given sample. This ergodicity comes from the existence of a scaling law for the probability distribution of the parameter defining the asymptotic dynamical regime. The self-averaging or non-self-averaging properties of the normal or anomalous phases are direct consequences of this result.
