Kinetic Monte Carlo Simulations of Crystal Growth in Ferroelectric materials
We study the growth process of ferroelectric materials by kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. An ionic model with long-range Coulomb interactions is used to model the relaxor single crystals. The growth is characterized by thermodynamic processes involving adsorption and evaporation, with solid-on-solid restrictions. An algorithm is developed in order to simulate growth under such a model, for whi...
متن کاملKinetic Monte-Carlo simulations of sintering
We simulate the sintering of particle aggregates due to surface diffusion. As a method we use Kinetic Monte-Carlo simulations in which elasticity can explicitly be taken into account. Therefore it is possible to investigate the shape relaxation of aggregates also under the influence of an external pressure. Without elasticity we investigate the relaxation time and surface evolution of sintering...
متن کاملLattice Monte Carlo simulations of polymer melts.
We use Monte Carlo simulations to study polymer melts consisting of fully flexible and moderately stiff chains in the bond fluctuation model at a volume fraction 0.5. In order to reduce the local density fluctuations, we test a pre-packing process for the preparation of the initial configurations of the polymer melts, before the excluded volume interaction is switched on completely. This proces...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulations of polymer brushes.
Three-dimensional Monte Carlo simulations of flexible and semiflexible polymer brushes at various grafting densities are carried out to study their equilibrium structure and attendant properties by using the bond fluctuation model. Our simulation results of long flexible polymer brushes are, in general, consistent with predictions of the self-consistent field theory. However, a depletion layer ...
متن کاملKinetic Monte Carlo Simulations: a primer
Direct Monte Carlo simulation evolves according to a stochastic algorithm, so as to explore the entire phase space of the system, i.e., all possible accessible states. Such stochastic attempts at changing the configurations usually have nothing to do with the underlying energy barriers inhibiting (or favoring) such possiblilties. For example, standard Metropolis MC methods applied to systems to...
