Electromigration effects on reaction diffusion in a binary system with non-equilibrium vacancies
Main Article Content
Abstract
The model of reaction diffusion in the binary system under an electric current has been considered. The existence of non-equilibrium vacancies in the diffusion system is a feature of the model. Sources / sinks of vacancies are at the interface and in the bulk of the new phase. There has been done numerical modeling of a new phase growth based on this model. The comparing of the simulations results for different models of reaction diffusion process under electromigration have been compared. It is shown that nonequilibrium vacancies can significantly affect on the kinetics of diffusion phase growth. A new phase can grow faster either at the cathode or at the anode, depending on the efficiency of the sources / sinks of vacancies. If the sources / sinks of vacancies are effective, a phase growth will be the same as at the case of the equilibrium concentration of vacancies in the system.
