Phase field modelling of microstructure transformations in Zr-Sn alloy during irradiation

In this work we study peculiarities of spatial rearrangement of solute and vacancy concentrations in Zr-Sn alloy at stages of both thermal treatment of solid solution and irradiation of annealed alloy under reactor conditions. To this end, we exploit phase field modelling including reaction rate theory and CALPHAD method combined in one generalized approach. Simulations were done in 3D in order to get a detailed information about rearrangement of solutes and defects in a bulk. We discuss the emergence of the secondary phase at the stage of thermal treatment and its stability under neutron irradiation. We analyze an influence of the irradiation dose onto statistical properties of the secondary phase particles.

Noise induced effects at nano-structured thin films growth during deposition in plasma-condensate devices

We perform a comprehensive study of noise-induced effects in a stochastic model of reaction-diffusion type, describing nano-structured thin films growth at condensation. We introduce an external flux of adsorbate between neighbour monoatomic layers caused by the electrical field presence near substrate in plasma-condensate devices. We take into account that the strength of the electric field fluctuates around its mean value. We discuss a competing influence of the regular and stochastic parts of the external flux onto the dynamics of adsorptive system. It will be shown that the introduced fluctuations induce first-order phase transition in a homogeneous system, govern the pattern formation in a spatially extended system; these parts of the flux control the dynamics of the patterning, spatial order, morphology of the surface, growth law of the mean size of adsorbate islands, type and linear size of surface structures. The influence of the intensity of fluctuations onto scaling and statistical properties of the nano-structured surface is analysed in detail. This study provides an insight into the details of noise induced effects at pattern formation processes in anisotropic adsorptive systems.

Transitions from low-density state towards high-density state in stochastic bistable plasma-condensate systems

In this article we study transitions from low-density states towards high-density states in bistable plasma-condensate systems. We take into account an anisotropy in transference of adatoms between neighbour layers induced by the electric field near substrate. We derive the generalized one-layer model by assuming that the strength of the electric field is subjected to both periodic oscillations and multiplicative fluctuations. By studying the homogeneous system we discuss the corresponding mean passage time. In the limit of weak fluctuations, we show the optimization of the mean passage time with variation in the frequency of periodic driving in the non-adiabatic limit. Noise induced effects corresponding to asynchronization and acceleration in the transition dynamics are studied in detail.

Influence of nonlinear dissipation and external perturbations onto transition scenarious to chaos in Lorenz-Haken system

We study an influence of nonlinear dissipation and external perturbations onto transition scenarious to chaos in Lorenz-Haken system. It will be show that varying in external potential parameters values leads to parameters domain formation of chaos realization. In the modified Lorenz-Haken system transitions from regular to chaotic dynamics can be of Ruelle-Takens scenario, Feigenbaum scenario, or through intermittency.

Entropy driven mechanism for noise induced patterns formation in reaction-diffusion systems

We have studied the entropy-driven mechanism leading to stationary patterns formation in stochastic systems with local dynamics and non-Fickian diffusion. We have shown that a multiplicative noise fulfilling a fluctuation-dissipation relation is able to induce and sustain stationary structures with its intensity growth. It was found that at small and large noise intensities the system is characterized by unstable homogeneous states. At intermediate values of the noise intensity three types of patterns are possible: nucleation, spinodal decomposition and stripes with liner defects (dislocations). Our analytical investigations are verified by computer simulations.
