Reaction front structure in the diffusion-limited A+B model with initially randomized reactants

Abstract:
Subtle features of the reaction front formation in the A+B-->0 reaction are reported for the initially random and equal A+B reactant distribution. Three nonclassical parameters (initial linewidth, minimum, and maximum), for each interparticle gap and nearest neighbor distance distributions, are derived, as a function of time, using Monte Carlo simulations. These empirical front measures and their temporal scaling exponents are compared with the previously studied ones for the reactant interparticle distributions.
