Dynamic Scaling in Vacancy - Mediated Disordering
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the disordering dynamics of an interacting binary alloy with a small admixture of vacancies which mediate atom-atom exchanges. Starting from a perfectly phase-segregated state, the system is rapidly heated to a temperature in the disordered phase. A suitable disorder parameter, namely, the number of broken bonds, is monitored as a function of time. Using Monte Carlo simulations and a coarse-grained eld theory, we show that the late stages of this process exhibit dynamic scaling, characterized by a set of scaling functions and exponents. We discuss the universality of these exponents and comment on some subtleties in the early stages of the disordering process.

Microscopic kinetics and time-dependent structure factors.
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 sol...
متن کاملRandom Walk with a Hop-Over Site: A Novel Approach to Tagged Diffusion and Its Applications
We study, on a d dimensional hypercubic lattice, a random walk which is homogeneous except for one site. Instead of visiting this site, the walker hops over it with arbitrary rates. The probability distribution of this walk and the statistics associated with the hop-overs are found exactly. This analysis provides a simple approach to the problem of tagged diffusion, i.e., the movements of a tra...
متن کاملDynamic polarization of single nuclear spins by optical pumping of nitrogen-vacancy color centers in diamond at room temperature.
We report a versatile method to polarize single nuclear spins in diamond, based on optical pumping of a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect and mediated by a level anticrossing in its excited state. A nuclear-spin polarization higher than 98% is achieved at room temperature for the 15N nuclear spin associated with the NV center, corresponding to microK effective nuclear-spin temperature. We the...
متن کاملBand gap gratings using quantum well intermixing for quasi-phase-matching
In this work, the spatial resolution of two quantum well intermixing processes has been obtained using spatially resolved photoluminescence. The processes investigated are impurity-free vacancy disordering using SiO2/SiO2:P caps and sputtered silica induced intermixing. These studies aimed to choose a suitable intermixing technology to realize the band gap gratings for domain disordering quasi-...
