Kinetic Monte Carlo Simulation
This chapter discusses the Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulation technique. The key feature for KMC simulation is to recognize the randomness of the physical variables and estimate their distribution. The chapter provides a brief discussion of random variables and random numbers. There are two types of KMC simulation: event‐driven and time‐driven. The chapter focuses on event‐driven KMC simulation. In this algorithm the system is advanced in time by administering the events one by one. In time‐driven KMC simulation the system is advanced in time and then all the events that occurred during that interval are administered. To illustrate the idea of event‐driven KMC simulation, the chapter considers the process of particle breakage and hence the 'event' is the breakage of a particle. It also considers the rate of breakage to be a random variable distributed around the mean breakage rate. The mean breakage rate is obtained using the breakage functions.
