Examples in Context

  1. We also investigated the dynamical behavior of the film by the mean square displacement and diffusion coefficient.
  2. We study the process of rapid quenching of the liquid iron at 2200K through 2000K, 1800K, 1600K to 1400K and then obtain the statistical analysis of the pair distribution function, mean square displacement, correlation and the Voronoi polyhedra at the temperature equilibrium state.
  3. In addition, the cluster size, surface energy as well as the average root mean square displacement ( RMSD ) of the clusters in the intermediate regime have been investigated.
  4. In the temperature range of 1400_1800K, two migration stages are observed in the vacancy diffusion process, which correspond to two maximums in the mean square displacement curves.
  5. It can be found that the mean square displacement is proportional to the square of time, i.e., the transport process is dominated by ballistic transport, rather than a diffusion behavior.
