Random alloy diffusion kinetics for the application to multicomponent alloy systems

Abstract In this paper, extensive Monte Carlo simulation results are reported on tracer and collective diffusion correlation effects in the random ternary alloy, as an example of a multicomponent alloy system. The problem of analytically describing both collective and tracer diffusion kinetics is also addressed for the random multicomponent alloy by application of a combination of the Manning theory and Holdsworth and Elliott theory. It is found that the overall results from the combined theory agree reasonably well with Monte Carlo results. This combined approach is much more accurate than Manning’s approach itself and much more manageable than the almost exact, but unfortunately difficult to use, self-consistent theory of Moleko, Allnatt and Allnatt. Some relations between the Onsager phenomenological coefficients and tracer diffusion coefficients are derived and are tested with our Monte Carlo data. Good agreement is found.
