ORDERING KINETICS BY VACANCIES

Abstract
Domain growth dynamics in binary alloys undergoing an order-disorder phase transition is revised. After a summary of the state-of-the-art of the problem, we focus on the Monte Carlo simulation results. The usual atom-exchange dynamics is compared with a more realistic vacancy driven dynamics. Results suggest that the expected Allen-Cahn growth law might be modified by this more realistic dynamics.
