Selective dissolution model, binary alloy

Computer simulations with a Monte Carlo algorithm of the selective dissolution of 2D square and 3D cubic lattices modeling binary alloys (A-B) are performed. 

Theoretical Aspects Every model of selective alloy dissolution must involve a transport mechanism by virtue of which the atoms of the less noble component reach the alloy/electrolyte interface and the atoms of the more noble component aggregate. For a binary alloy, the basic transport mechanisms are as follows ... 

The percolation model of selective dissolution, an extension of the surface diffusion mechanism, based on preexisting interconnected paths of like elements in the binary alloy and effects of curvature on dissolution potential [24, 25].
