Two-Species Annihilation with Drift: A Model with Continuous Concentration-Decay Exponents

Condensed Matter 2010-10-12 v1

Abstract

We propose a model for diffusion-limited annihilation of two species, A+BAA+B\to A or BB, where the motion of the particles is subject to a drift. For equal initial concentrations of the two species, the density follows a power-law decay for large times. However, the decay exponent varies continuously as a function of the probability of which particle, the hopping one or the target, survives in the reaction. These results suggest that diffusion-limited reactions subject to drift do not fall into a limited number of universality classes.
