  1. Kinetic Monte Carlo Triangular lattice

  2. Diffusion Thermodynamic factor Self Diffusion Coefficient

  3. Diffusion

  4. Standard Monte Carlo to study diffusion • Pick an atom at random

  5. Standard Monte Carlo to study diffusion • Pick an atom at random • Pick a hop direction

  6. Standard Monte Carlo to study diffusion • Pick an atom at random • Pick a hop direction • Calculate

  7. Standard Monte Carlo to study diffusion • Pick an atom at random • Pick a hop direction • Calculate • If ( > random number) do the hop

  8. Kinetic Monte Carlo Consider all hops simultaneously A. B. Bortz, M. H. Kalos, J. L. Lebowitz, J. Comput Phys, 17, 10 (1975). F. M. Bulnes, V. D. Pereyra, J. L. Riccardo, Phys. Rev. E, 58, 86 (1998).

  9. For each potential hop i, calculate the hop rate

  10. For each potential hop i, calculate the hop rate Then randomly choose a hop k, with probability

  11. For each potential hop i, calculate the hop rate Then randomly choose a hop k, with probability = random number

  12. For each potential hop i, calculate the hop rate Then randomly choose a hop k, with probability = random number

  13. Then randomly choose a hop k, with probability = random number

  14. Time After hop k we need to update the time = random number

  15. Two independent stochastic variables: the hop k and the waiting time

  16. Kinetic Monte Carlo • Hop every time • Consider all possible hops simultaneously • Pick hop according its relative probability • Update the time such that on average equals the time that we would have waited in standard Monte Carlo A. B. Bortz, M. H. Kalos, J. L. Lebowitz, J. Comput Phys, 17, 10 (1975). F. M. Bulnes, V. D. Pereyra, J. L. Riccardo, Phys. Rev. E, 58, 86 (1998).

  17. Triangular 2-d lattice, 2NN pair interactions

  18. Activation barrier

  19. Thermodynamics

  20. Kinetics
