Two-Species Reaction-Diffusion System with Equal Diffusion Constants: Anomalous Density Decay at Large Times
arXiv:cond-mat/9910245 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.62.3276
Abstract
We study a two-species reaction-diffusion model where A+A->0, A+B->0 and B+B->0, with annihilation rates lambda0, delta0 > lambda0 and lambda0, respectively. The initial particle configuration is taken to be randomly mixed with mean densities nA(0) > nB(0), and with the two species A and B diffusing with the same diffusion constant. A field-theoretic renormalization group analysis suggests that, contrary to expectation, the large-time density of the minority species decays at the same rate as the majority when d<=2. Monte Carlo data supports the field theory prediction in d=1, while in d=2 the logarithmically slow convergence to the large-time asymptotics makes a numerical test difficult.
