| contents | We study the nonequilibrium dynamics of a binary disordered alloy when it is subjected to an interaction quench. Our study uses a nonequilibrium embedding scheme (DMFT+CPA) that combines the capacity of DMFT (dynamical mean field theory) to treat strongly correlated systems and the capacity of CPA (coherent potential approximation) to treat disordered systems, to effectively address the interplay of disorder and interaction for the nonequilibrium system. Our solution is applied on the equilibrium binary disordered and interacting alloy for the calculation of the density of states. This equilibrium density of states shows the modifications of the disorder-driven gap by the interaction and that of the interaction-driven Mott gap by the disorder. Next, we assess the relaxation of the system that is initially in equilibrium at a given temperature, and then abruptly has its interaction strength changed from zero to a finite value at which it is kept constant. The system undergoes a short time transient and then settles into a long-time state in a process that depends in a nontrivial manner on the disorder and interaction strength. In addition, we calculate the effective temperature of the system after it has gone through its initial transient and settled into its long-time state. The long-time effective temperature is increased with increasing final interaction strength. However, for a given final interaction, the final temperature can be tuned by the disorder strength over a broad range, with stronger disorder leading to lower temperature. Altogether, the results illustrate the nontrivial interplay between disorder and interaction for a binary alloy away from equilibrium. |
