We consider random walks, starting at the site i = 1, on a one-dimensional lattice segment with an absorbing boundary at i = 0 and a reflecting boundary at i = L. We find that the typical value of first passage time (FPT) is independent of system size L, while the mean value diverges linearly...

The interacting growth walk (IGW) is a kinetic algorithm proposed recently for generating long, lattice polymer configurations. The growth process in IGW is tuned by a parameter called the growth temperature TG=1/(kBβG). In this paper we consider IGW on a honeycomb lattice. We take the...

We investigate the lifetime distribution P(τ,t) in one and two dimensional coarsening processes modelled by Ising–Glauber dynamics at zero temperature. The lifetime τ is defined as the time that elapses between two successive flips in the time interval (0,t) or between the last flip and the...

We show that the Density of States (DoS) for lattice Self Avoiding Walks can be estimated by using an inverse algorithm, called flatIGW, whose step-growth rules are dynamically adjusted by requiring the energy histogram to be locally flat. Here, the (attractive) energy associated with a...

Oxygen ion diffusion in yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is studied employing molecular dynamics simulation. Oxygen ions migrate mainly by nearest neighbour hopping amongst the tetrahedral lattice sites of zirconium ions. A linear relation between the mean square displacement and time is found,...
