Diffusion Equations for Early Stages of Solid Solutions Decay Based on the Markovian Theory of Random Walk

摘要

Examination was made of the early stages of binodal or spinodal solid solutions decay connected with the growth of local zones of concentration fluctuations. The theory of Markovian process of random walk of the individual atoms describes how particle transport with short diffusion paths causes the growth of these zones. The resulting equation predicts the growth and transformation of initial zones of concentration fluctuations into growing clusters with surface boundary or formation of the quasiperiodic concentration distribution inherent in spinodal decomposition.
