Diffusion Disordered system

Further discussion of self-diffusion in relaxed metallic glasses and other disordered systems may be found in key articles [7, 10, 14, 18, 19]. [Pg.234]

Small solute atoms in the interstices between the larger host atoms in a relaxed metallic glass diffuse by the direct interstitial mechanism (see Section 8.1.4). The host atoms can be regarded as immobile. A classic example is the diffusion of H solute atoms in glassy Pd8oSi2o- For this system, a simplified model that retains the essential physics of a thermally activated diffusion process in disordered systems is used to interpret experimental measurements [20-22]. [Pg.234]

The kinetics captured in disordered systems like polymers, glasses and poly-cristalline structures has been often described in terms of continuous relaxation times and exciton diffusion at recombination centers [10]. Assuming a <5— pulse function, the temporal data are best fitted by a monomolecular kinetic equation,... [Pg.367]

To characterize the dynamic movement of particles on a fractal object, one needs two additional parameters the spectral or fracton dimension ds and the random-walk dimension dw. Both terms are quite important when diffusion phenomena are studied in disordered systems. This is so since the path of a particle or a molecule undergoing Brownian motion is a random fractal. A typical example of a random fractal is the percolation cluster shown in Figure 1.5. [Pg.26]

The relaxation process may be accompanied by diffusion. Consequently, the mean relaxation time for such kinds of disordered systems is the time during which the relaxing microscopic structural unit would move a distance R. The Einstein-Smoluchowski theory [226,235] gives the relationship between x and R as... [Pg.110]

Chapter 8 by W. T. Coffey, Y. P. Kalmykov, and S. V. Titov, entitled Fractional Rotational Diffusion and Anomalous Dielectric Relaxation in Dipole Systems, provides an introduction to the theory of fractional rotational Brownian motion and microscopic models for dielectric relaxation in disordered systems. The authors indicate how anomalous relaxation has its origins in anomalous diffusion and that a physical explanation of anomalous diffusion may be given via the continuous time random walk model. It is demonstrated how this model may be used to justify the fractional diffusion equation. In particular, the Debye theory of dielectric relaxation of an assembly of polar molecules is reformulated using a fractional noninertial Fokker-Planck equation for the purpose of extending that theory to explain anomalous dielectric relaxation. Thus, the authors show how the Debye rotational diffusion model of dielectric relaxation of polar molecules (which may be described in microscopic fashion as the diffusion limit of a discrete time random walk on the surface of the unit sphere) may be extended via the continuous-time random walk to yield the empirical Cole-Cole, Cole-Davidson, and Havriliak-Negami equations of anomalous dielectric relaxation from a microscopic model based on a... [Pg.586]

Photoelectron diffraction is most useful for systems where the photoexcited atoms all have the same local geometry, as in a chemisorption problem. If there are source atoms in different local geometries, there will be interference between multiple sets of scattering paths, and the resulting interference spectrum will be harder to interpret. For these cases LEED experiments are probably better, with diffuse LEED used for disordered systems. [Pg.29]

In 1991, Bonny and Leuenberger [40] explained the changes in dissolution kinetics of a matrix controlled-release system over the whole range of drug loadings on the basis of percolation theory. For this purpose, the tablet was considered a disordered system whose particles are distributed at random. These authors derived a model for the estimation of the drug percolation thresholds from the diffusion behavior. [Pg.1030]

The third distance, perhaps the most relevant to reactions on surfaces, is the actual distance traversed by a diffusing molecule. This is a very complex issue which we only begin to understand. The diffusional distance reflects not only the geometric considerations made above, but also the facts that the surface is energetically heterogeneous, and that the diffusion is some combination of movements which follow closely the surface features, and of jumps from pore-wall to pore-wall and from one tip to the next. Obviously this diffusional distance is also a function of the temperature and of the solvent interfaced with the solid. Furthermore, since different types of connectedness can yield the same D value, this textural characteristic is an additional parameter to be considered (the fracton or spectral dimension (IS)). In view of this complex picture, what is then the practical advise Under the current state of art, the best one can do is to get a preliminary estimate of d from eq s [4]-[6] the direct observation of actual diffusional process in disordered systems, is still in its infancy. For some recent studies see ref. 16,17. [Pg.357]

A further evaluation of WAXS data can give information about the degree of lattice distortions in the crystalline regions [2, 4], which lead to a broadening of the reflections and a diffuse background scattering. In disordered systems the correlation function of the molecular distances can be obtained. [Pg.114]
