The growth kinetics of a system with spin-exchange dynamics has been investigated by means of computer simulations. These systems are used to simulate diffusive processes and kinetic phenomena far away from equilibrium. As a measure of growth we have studied the mean square displacement <R2> of tagged particles. It is found that <R2>t1-n follows a sublinear time dependence, which is explained in terms of the changes of the distribution of atoms between sites within the ordered region and sites of the domain boundaries. The time-dependence of the diffusion coefficient has been derived. The analogies to the relaxation in disordered systems, such as in a:Si–H and in O/W(110), is discussed.

AbstractWe study analytically a generalized fractional Langevin equation. General formulas for calculation of variances and the mean square displacement are derived. Cases with a three parameter Mittag-Leffler frictional memory kernel are considered. Exact results in terms of the Mittag-Leffler type functions for the relaxation functions, average velocity and average particle displacement are obtained. The mean square displacement and variances are investigated analytically. Asymptotic behaviors of the particle in the short and long time limit are found. The model considered in this paper may be used for modeling anomalous diffusive processes in complex media including phenomena similar to single file diffusion or possible generalizations thereof. We show the importance of the initial conditions on the anomalous diffusive behavior of the particle.

That both normal and anomalous chaotic diffusions are suppressed by the presence of quenched disorder for a large class of maps was established by G. Radons.1 In this paper, we consider simple maps (which exhibit normal diffusion) modified by discrete disorder. By decomposing the mean square displacement (MSD) σ2(t) of the system into three terms, namely, [Formula: see text], we find that the MSD of the random walk which corresponds to disorder, [Formula: see text], enhances that of the original unmodified map, [Formula: see text] and that the term 2σ01(t), which describes the correlation between the diffusion fronts of the previous two diffusive processes, just essentially cancels the sum of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. In consequence, the trajectories of the system are effectively localized. In this formalism, exact numerical calculations without any round-off error can be achieved, the numerical errors coming only from the limited sampling of the initial conditions.

Using discrete wavelets, a novel technique is developed to estimate turbulent diffusion coefficients and power exponents from single Lagrangian particle trajectories. The technique differs from the classical approach (Davis (1991)’s technique) because averaging over a statistical ensemble of the mean square displacement (<X2>) is replaced by averaging along a single Lagrangian trajectory X(t) = {X(t), Y(t)}. Metzler et al. (2014) have demonstrated that for an ergodic (for example, normal diffusion) flow, the mean square displacement is <X2> = limT→∞τX2(T,s), where τX2 (T, s) = 1/(T − s) ∫0T−s(X(t+Δt) − X(t))2 dt, T and s are observational and lag times but for weak non-ergodic (such as super-diffusion and sub-diffusion) flows <X2> = limT→∞≪τX2(T,s)≫, where ≪…≫ is some additional averaging. Numerical calculations for surface drifters in the Black Sea and isobaric RAFOS floats deployed at mid depths in the California Current system demonstrated that the reconstructed diffusion coefficients were smaller than those calculated by Davis (1991)’s technique. This difference is caused by the choice of the Lagrangian mean. The technique proposed here is applied to the analysis of Lagrangian motions in the Black Sea (horizontal diffusion coefficients varied from 105 to 106 cm2/s) and for the sub-diffusion of two RAFOS floats in the California Current system where power exponents varied from 0.65 to 0.72. RAFOS float motions were found to be strongly non-ergodic and non-Gaussian.

MD simulation has been performed to learn the microscopic mechanism of diffusion of ions in the Li2SiO3 system. The motion of lithium ions can be explained by the trapping model, where lithium is trapped in the polyhedron and moves with fluctuation of the coordination number. The mean square displacement of lithium was found to correlate well with the net changes in coordination number.

The effect of premelting is of particular interest in connection with the theory of melting. In this paper, we discuss the structural and dynamical properties of the surfaces of semi-infinite crystals as well as of nano-clusters, which show the effect of premelting. The investigations are based on molecular-dynamics calculations: different models are used for the systematic study of the effect of premelting. In particular, the behaviour of the following functions have been studied: pair correlation function, generalized phonon density of states, and the mean-square displacement as a function of time. The calculations have been done for krypton since for this substance a reliable interaction potential is available.

We report, in this paper, a recent study on the dynamical mechanism of Brownian particles diffusing in the fractional damping environment, where several important quantities such as the mean square displacement (MSD) and mean square velocity are calculated for dynamical analysis. A particular type of backward motion is found in the diffusion process. The reason of it is analyzed intrinsically by comparing with the diffusion in various dissipative environments. Results show that the diffusion in the fractional damping environment obeys the Langevin dynamics which is quite different form what is expected.
