Monte Carlo methods: single particle diffusion

This lecture introduces Monte Carlo methods for simulating single particle diffusion in cementitious materials, focusing on the use of random numbers in simulation, random functions, and random number generators. It covers a simple hopping model on a lattice, Monte Carlo time, and the self-diffusion coefficient. The lecture also discusses diffusion from a line at a specific position, providing insights into the dynamics of water and ions in cement microstructures.
