Abstract

We study the A + B→B trapping reaction under steady state conditions for the case in which both A particles and traps(B) are mobile. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we follow the kinetic rate law in one dimension. Anomalies arise due to self-organization of the A particles, which results in a slower steady state reaction rate than is predicted classically. We find a partial order of reaction with respect to trap density of X = 2, and an overall order for the reaction of Z = 3.2. These results are in agreement with other works which predict an exponential rather than an algebraic decay law with respect to the A particle density.
