Simulation of Correlation Effects in Ordering Binary Alloys

Abstract

In this paper, computer simulation is used to study correlation effects for vacancy in the binary ordering alloys. At first we obtain a set of equilibrium states by Monte Carlo method for different temperatures and then we simulate the vacancy migration by Kinetic Monte Carlo using atomic structures of mentioned states. Correlationfactordependencies fromthe temperature and short-range order parameter are derived for the vacancy migration.
