We have employed Lattice Kinetic Monte Carlo (LKMC) technique to understand the kinetics of formation, as well as the spatial and size distributions of oxide nanoclusters in bcc Fe . The basic energy parameters for the LKMC were obtained from ab initio calculations. At 1050 K, we observed formation of ~ 2 nm nanoclusters highly enriched with Y and O . Ti is found to refine the size of nanoclusters, which is in accord with available experimental results.

AbstractNew data on the propagation rate coefficient, kp, of vinyl acetate (VAc) are obtained via the IUPAC recommended method of pulsed laser polymerization - size exclusion chromatography (PLP-SEC) operated at 500 Hz laser repetition rate. An apparent dependency of the experiment’s outcome on the laser pulsing rate is identified with kp being about 25 % larger at 500 Hz compared to 100 Hz. The temperature dependence of kp was determined to fit ln kp = 17.12 - 2621 K/T; data is in generally good agreement with literature values when the previous underestimation of kp by 100 Hz laser pulsing experiments is taken into account.

We review the results of our Monte Carlo simulation studies carried out within the past two decades in the area of atomic-migration-controlled phenomena in intermetallic compounds. The review aims at showing the high potential of Monte Carlo methods in modelling both the equilibrium states of the systems and the kinetics of the running processes. We focus on three particular problems: (i) the atomistic origin of the complexity of the ‘order-order’ relaxations in γ’-Ni3Al; (ii) surface-induced ordering phenomena in γ-FePt and (iii) ‘order—order’ kinetics and self-diffusion in the ‘triple-defect’ β-NiAl. The latter investigation demonstrated how diverse Monte Carlo techniques may be used to model the phenomena where equilibrium thermodynamics interplays and competes with kinetic effects.
