Abstract: | We study the lattice gas with nearest-neighbor
exclusion on the square lattice and Kawasaki (hopping) dynamics, under the
influence of a nonuniform drive, via Monte Carlo simulation.
The drive, which favors motion along the +x
direction and inhibits motion in the opposite direction, varies linearly with
y. (The boundaries along the drive direction are periodic, so that
the system is not described by an equilibrium Gibbs distribution.) As in the
uniformly driven case R. Dickman, Phys. Rev. E 64, 16124 (2001)], the
onset of sublattice ordering occurs at a lower density than in equilibrium, but
here an unexpected feature appears: particles migrate out of the high-drive
region. For intermediate system sizes (L ≃100),
the accumulation of particles is sufficient for the low-drive region to become
ordered at a global density of about 0.3. Above this density we observe a
surprising reversal in the density profile, with particles accumulating to the
high-drive region, due to jamming. For larger systems (L≥200) particles
quickly jam in the high-drive region, as occurs under uniform drive, and the
accumulation of particles in the low-field region is severely reduced. |
