Segregation measures for diffusion-controlled A+B reactions

Abstract

New measures of segregation are defined and calculated for the A + B-->0 reaction on one-dimensional and fractal lattices (Sierpinski carpet and gasket). We differentiate between local and global segregation parameters. Results and comparisons are given for steady-state simulations that strictly conserve the equality of A and B particle densities. This work demonstrates that global kinetic laws are related to both local and global segregation.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/27683/1/0000066.pd
