Influence of the Particle Density Distribution on the Optical Resonance in a Fractal Cluster

Based on the equation of a self-consistent field in a fractal cluster, solutions are derived that characterize the laser field amplification as a function of the particle density distribution in the cluster. The influence of the specific features of the particle density distribution in the cluster on the resonance position is established.

Interaction between glow discharge plasma and dust particles

The effect of dust particle concentration on gas discharge plasma parameters was studied through development of a self-consistent kinetic model which is based on solving the Boltzmann equation for the electron distribution function. It was shown that an increase in the Havnes parameter causes an increase in the average electric field and ion density, as well as a decrease in the charge of dust particles and electron density in a dust particle cloud. Self-consistent simulations for a wide range of plasma and dust particle parameters produced several scaling laws: these are laws for dust particle potential and electric field as a function of dust particle concentration and radius, and the discharge current density. The simulation results demonstrate that the process of self-consistent accommodation of parameters of dust particles and plasma in condition of particle concentration growth causes a growth in the number of high-energy electrons in plasma, but not to depletion of electron distribution function.     

Self-consistent nonlinear resonance and hysteresis of a charged microparticle in a RF sheath

A self-consistent model is proposed to study nonlinear phenomena, such as secondary resonance and hysteresis in the vertical oscillations of a charged microparticle in a radio-frequency sheath. The motion of a single microparticle in the sheath is simulated by solving Newton's equation in which various forces acting on the particle are taken into account. The particle charging and the sheath electric field are described by a self-consistent model of the collisional radio-frequency sheath dynamics. It is found that the nonlinearity is related to the particle's charge, the sheath electric field, and the external excitation force, as well as the ion drag force and neutral-gas friction on the particle.     

Screening of a charged particle field in rarefied ionized gas

A self-consistent field of a charged micron-size particle placed in a rarefied ionized gas is created by both free ions moving along infinite trajectories and trapped ions moving in closed orbits. The character of screening of the particle field is analyzed under dynamic conditions in a nonequilibrium plasma where the temperature (or the mean energy) of electrons greatly exceeds the ion temperature. Under these conditions, trapped ions are generated in a restricted region of the particle field where the transitions between closed ion orbits resulting from resonant charge exchange dominate. This leads to a higher number density of trapped ions compared to that of free ions. The parameters of the self-consistent field of the particle and ions are found when free or trapped ions determine the screening of the particle field, and a similarity law is established for a simultaneous variation of the number density of plasma particles and the particle size. In dusty plasmas of the Solar System, which result from the interaction of the solar wind with dust, formation of trapped ions increases the plasma number density compared to that in the solar wind.     

On the local quasiparticle density of states within the asymmetric Anderson model

We calculate the local density of states for the asymmetric Anderson model by applying a self-consistent perturbation approximation for the impurity electron's self-energy. The three-resonance structure obtained in the symmetric case at low temperatures, which features a narrow central peak at the Fermi level, is found to transform into a broad single resonance with increasing asymmetry. For any asymmetry the spectral density function approaches in the high temperature limit a broad two-resonance structure.     

Spatial Density Distributions and Correlations in a Quasi-one-Dimensional Polydisperse Granular Gas

By Monte Carlo simulations, the effect of the dispersion of particle size distribution on the spatial density distributions and correlations of a quasi one-dimensional polydisperse granular gas with fractal size distribution is investigated in the same inelasticity. The dispersive degree of the particle size distribution can be measured by a fractal dimension dr, and the smooth particles are constrained to move along a circle of length L, colliding inelastically with each other and thermalized by a viscosity heat bath. When the typical relaxation time τ of the driving Brownian process is longer than the mean collision time To, the system can reach a nonequilibrium steady state. The average energy of the system decays exponentially with time towards a stable asymptotic value, and the energy relaxation time τB to the steady state becomes shorter with increasing values of df. In the steady state, the spatial density distribution becomes more clusterized as df increases, which can be quantitatively characterized by statistical entropy of the system. Furthermore, the spatial correlation functions of density and velocities are found to be a power-law form for small separation distance of particles, and both of the correlations become stronger with the increase of df. Also, tile density clusterization is explained from the correlations.     

Spin-polarized ground state for interacting electrons in two dimensions

We study numerically the ground state magnetization for clusters of interacting electrons in two dimensions in the regime where the single particle wave functions are localized by disorder. It is found that the Coulomb interaction leads to a spontaneous ground state magnetization. For a constant electronic density, the total spin increases linearly with the number of particles, suggesting a ferromagnetic ground state in the thermodynamic limit. The magnetization is suppressed when the single particle states become delocalized.     

Effect of electromagnetic interactions on plasmon excitations in silver particle ensembles

The optical properties of silver nano-particle ensembles are studied as a function of particle density by analyzing the light emission excited via electron injection from an STM tip. The particles are prepared with distinct dome and disk-like shapes on a Al₂O₃/NiAl(1 1 0) support. The particle density is varied over one order of magnitude by changing the Ag deposition temperature and the defect concentration in the oxide surface. With increasing density, a pronounced blue shift of the Ag plasmon mode is observed for ensembles of dome-like particles, whereas disk-like particles show relatively constant resonance energies. The observed evolution of plasmon energy as a function of particle density reflects the influence of electromagnetic interactions in the ensemble, as verified by model calculations.     

Density functional resonance theory of unbound electronic systems

Density functional resonance theory (DFRT) is a complex-scaled version of ground-state density functional theory (DFT) that allows one to calculate the in-principle exact resonance energies and lifetimes of metastable anions. In this formalism, the energy and lifetime of the lowest-energy resonance of unbound systems is encoded into a complex "density" that can be obtained via complex-coordinate scaling. This complex density is used as the primary variable in a DFRT calculation, just as the ground-state density would be used as the primary variable in DFT. As in DFT, there exists a mapping of the N-electron interacting system to a Kohn-Sham system of N noninteracting particles. This mapping facilitates self-consistent calculations with an initial guess for the complex density, as illustrated with an exactly solvable model system.

Decay of cosmological constant in self-consistent inflation

The symmetric vacuum state in gauge theories with spontaneous symmetry breaking is symmetric in both internal and space-time variables. We consider this vacuum state as a Bose condensate of physical Higgs particles, defined over an asymmetric vacuum state, and identify the energy density of their self-interaction with the cosmological constant in the Einstein equation. In this picture, spontaneous symmetry breaking proceeds as decay. Decoherence of coherent oscillations of a scalar field in the course of decay provides the effective mechanism for damping of coherent oscillations, leading to the regime of slow evaporation of a Bose condensate. This mechanism is responsible for self-consistent inflation without fine-tuning of the potential parameters. The physical self-consistency in this model is provided by incorporating the origin of the cosmological constant in the dynamics of spontaneous breaking of particle symmetries.

Three-particle system for nonlocal interactions with continuum bound states

The energy spectrum of the model triton is studied for a series of rank-two separable twobody interactions, each of which has a fixed deuteron wave function and a continuum bound state fixed at high energy. In each case the three particle system collapses, having an unphysical deeply bound ground state. With increasing two body repulsion, the collapsed state becomes less bound. If the continuum bound state moves to higher energies, the collapsed state becomes more bound. Our results show that for non-local two-body interactions which support a continuum bound state, or a resonance pole sufficiently close to the real axis, the three particle system is not a low energy system.     

A self-consistent model for the production and growth of nanoparticles in low-temperature plasmas

A theoretical global model is presented for describing the kinetics of generation and growth of clusters and nanoparticles in low-pressure plasmas, where important processes for clusters and grains are collisions with monomers, electrons, and ions and particle coagulation and loss because of diffusion and gas flow drag. Simple equations are given for calculations of monomer density, particle-size distribution function, critical cluster size, the rate of particle production and particle density and mean size, and plasma characteristics (the densities and average energies of “cold” and “hot” electrons and the density of positively charged ions). The model is self-consistent; that is, the above-mentioned properties of clusters, nanoparticles, electrons, and ions are calculated jointly from coupled equations as functions of a small number of radio frequency (RF) discharge parameters (discharge geometry; absorbed electric power; voltage across the RF sheath; gas pressure; composition; and flow rate). Comparisons are made with the experimental data on SiH₄-Ar mixtures. Published in Russian in Khimicheskaya Fizika, 2008, Vol. 27, No. 4, pp. 79–93. The article was translated by the authors.     

Theoretical Investigation of Uniform and Non-uniform Penetrable Sphere Fluid

A bridge function approximation is proposed for a single-component fluid consisting of penetrable sphere interacting via a potential that remains finite and constant for center-center distance smaller than the particle diameter and is zero otherwise. The radial distribution function from the Ornstein-Zernike integral equation combined with the present bridge function approximation is in satisfactory agreement with the corresponding simulation data for all of the investigated state points. The presently calculated excess Helmholtz free energy respectively based on virial route and compressibility route is highly self-consistent, and is in very good agreement with simulational results for the case of low temperatures. The present bridge function approximation, combined with the bridge density functional approximation,can reproduce very accurately density profiles of the penetrable sphere fluid confined in a hard spherical cavity for all the cases where simulational results are available.     

Density modulation and superconductivity in a system of fermions

An antisymmetrized product of periodic density modulated one particle functions is investigated as a trial wave function for different local twobody forces. The model is compared with a BCS ground state. For some potentials a lower ground state energy has been found for the density modulated state. In lowest order cluster expansion forces with a hard core have been examined. A liquid-solid transition is indicated for³He at a density near the experimental value.

Dynamical susceptibility of intermediate valence systems

The transverse susceptibility if magnetic systems described by the Anderson model is calculated evaluating the self energy for the two particle Green function. The results are applied to semiconductors and metals. In the first case a shift in the resonance frequency is obtained as well as a continuum of excitations corresponding to the promotion of electrons from the localized state to the conduction band states. In the metallic case a Korringa relation for the relaxation time in the magnetic limit is obtained. The real and imaginary parts of the self energy are given as functions of the distance from the localized level to the Fermi level.

Pressure dissociation of dense hydrogen

The self-consistent fluid variational model （SFVM） has been used to describe the pressure dissociation of dense hydrogen at high temperatures. This paper focuses on a mixture of hydrogen atoms and molecules and is devoted to the study of the phenomenon of pressure dissociation at finite temperatures. The equation of state and dissociation degree have been calculated from the free energy functions in the range of temperature 2000-10,000K and density 0.02-1.0g/cm^3, which can be compared with other approaches and experiments. The pressure dissociation is found to occur in higher density range, while temperature dissociation is a more gradual effect.
