Time dependent diffusion coefficient in a disordered medium

We present a closed form expression for the diffusion coefficient in a dilute suspension of reflecting spheres, which is valid for all times. Our result is in agreement with general long and short time asymptotic results, which have been used in the interpretation of nuclear magnetic resonance experiments.
