Microscopic Kinetics and Time-Dependent Structure Factors

Abstract: The time evolution of structure factors (SF) in the disordering process of an initially phase-separated lattice depends crucially on the microscopic disordering mechanism, such as Kawasaki dynamics (KD) or vacancy-mediated disordering (VMD). Monte Carlo simulations show unexpected "dips" in the SFs. A phenomenological model is introduced to explain the dips in the odd SFs, and an analytical solution of KD is derived, in excellent agreement with simulations. The presence (absence) of dips in the even SFs for VM… Show more

“…The dissolution of precipitates when heated above the solubility line occurred depending on the temperature either by an evaporation of atoms or by a process resembling an explosion (Zizak et al, 1997). Starting from a completely phase separated initial configuration, i.e., pure A and B domains separated by a planar interface, the disordering at T ¼ 1 occurred via a different path when using vacancy dynamics compared to Kawasaki dynamics (Aspelmeier et al, 2001). When the attainment of equilibrium was prevented by an external field, the precipitates grew logarithmic in time.…”
