We investigated a two-species reaction-diffusion model using Monte Carlo simulations. We found that particle A diffusion depends on particle B density, exhibiting normal, subdiffusive, or localized behavior, with non-Gaussian displacement distributions.

Area of Science:

  • Statistical Physics
  • Non-equilibrium Systems
  • Reaction-Diffusion Models

Background:

  • Studying complex systems requires understanding particle interactions and diffusion dynamics.
  • Nonequilibrium models are crucial for describing systems far from thermodynamic equilibrium.
  • Reaction-diffusion processes govern phenomena from biological pattern formation to chemical reactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the coupled two-species nonequilibrium reaction-controlled diffusion model.
  • To investigate the diffusion behavior of species A under varying conditions of species B.
  • To compare simulation results with mean-field predictions and explore particle displacement distributions.

Main Methods:

  • Detailed Monte Carlo simulations were employed in one and two dimensions.

  • The model considers particle A hopping to sites occupied by particle B.
  • Species B undergoes diffusion-limited reactions, leading to different density phases.

    • Main Results:

    • Species A exhibits normal diffusion in an active state and localization in an absorbing phase.
    • Subdiffusive propagation of species A was observed in power-law inactive phases and at phase transitions.
    • Alpha(A) approximately alpha(B) was found, consistent with mean-field theory, but with non-Gaussian displacement distributions for species A.

    Conclusions:

    • The study confirms approximate equality of exponents alpha(A) and alpha(B) even with fluctuations.
    • Non-Gaussian displacement distributions for species A were observed, deviating from mean-field predictions.
    • Fluctuations in diffusion rates lead to enhanced low and high displacement probabilities for species A.
