Fractal Aggregation with Next-Nearest Neighbor Interactions in External Fields

In this paper, we present a particle-cluster model for a two-dimensional fractal aggregation with the nearest neighbor and next-nearest neighbor interactions in external fields. The external field is described by the probability P. Our computer simulation results show that the threshold concentration is P_c^a = 0.59 ± 0.02 and the fractal dimension is D_c = 1.67 ± 0.03 at this concentration. In comparison with previous results with nearest neighbor interaction only, we find that D_c is the same, but P_c^a is smaller, which is reasonable, since the connectivity has been changed significantly.     

Critical Percolation Probabilities for the Next-Nearest-Neighbouring Site Problems on Sierpinski Carpets

In this paper, we compute the next-nearest-neighbouring site percolation (Connections exist not only between nearest-neighbouring sites, but also between next-nearest-neigh bouring sites.) probabilities PC on the two-dimensional Sierpinski carpets, using the translationaldilation method and Monte Carlo technique. We obtain a relation among PC, fractal dimensionality D and connectivity Q. For the family of carpets with central cutouts,(1 - P_c)/(1 - P_c^s) = (D - 1)^1.60, where P_c^s = 0.41, the critical percolation probability for the next-nearest-neighbouring site problem on square lattice. As D reaches 2, P_c = P_c^s = 0.41, which is in agreement with the critical percolation probability on 2-d square lattices with . next-nearest-neigh bouring interactions.

Fractal Dimensions of Correlation Clusters for Conformal Fields

The fractal dimensions of correlation clusters at the critical point of continuous phase transition are studied within the framework of conformal field theory. The generalized dimensions D_n(n = 2,3, …), the singularity strength a and its distribution f(α) are derived rigorously, and their meanings are discussed.     

The Gaussian Model on the Inhomogeneous Fractal Lattices

The decimation real-space renormalization group and spin-rescaling methods are applied to the study of phase transition of the Gaussian model on fractal lattices. It is found that the critical point K^* equals b/2 ( b is the distribution constant of Gaussian model) on nonbranching Koch curves. For inhomogeneous fractal lattices, it is proposed that the b is replaced with b_qi (qi is the coordination number of the site i) and satisfies a certain relation b_qi/b_qj = q_i/q_j. Under this supposition we find that the critical point of the Gaussian model on a branching Koch curve can be expressed uniquely as K^* = b_qi/q_i.     

Experimental study of relativistic self-focusing andself-channeling of an intense laser pulse in an underdense plasma

This paper reports on experimental investigations on relativistic self-focusing and self-channeling of a terawatt laser pulse (0.7 TW⩽P⩽15 TW) in an underdense plasma. We present results obtained with picosecond (τ=1 ps) and subpicosecond (τ=0.4 ps) pulses. In the “long pulse” regime, modifications in the laser propagation are observed for Pc, the critical power for self-focusing. By contrast, self-guiding of subpicosecond pulses is observed for P≈P_c. Using a paraxial envelope model describing the laser propagation and taking into account the plasma response to the ponderomotive force, it is shown that a maximum laser intensity of 5-15 times that reached in vacuum may be achieved when P is in the (1.25-4)×P_c range. It is also demonstrated that ion motion may significantly reduce the effective P_c     

Thresholds and Universality of the Site Percolation on the Sierpinski Carpets

Following the methods proposed by Yonezawa, Sakamoto and Hori, we have calculated the percolation thresholds P_c, their error bars ΔP_c, and the correlation length exponents v of a family of the Sierpinski carpets for the site percolation problems by making use of MonteCarlo simulations and finite size scaling. We have found the dependence of P_c and v on the fractal dimensionality D_f and the lacunarity. We ascertain that the site percolation problems on a family of Sierpinski carpets with central cutouts and different D belong to different universal classes, and those on Sierpinski carpets with same D_f but of different lacunarities belong to different universal classes.

Fractal aggregates induced by liposome-liposome interaction in the presence of Ca2+

We present a study of the fractal dimension of clusters of large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) formed by egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (EYPC), dimyristoylphosphocholine (DMPC) and dipalmitoylphosphocholine (DPPC) induced by Ca²⁺ . Fractal dimensions were calculated by application of two methods, measuring the angular dependency of the light scattered by the clusters and following the evolution of the cluster size. In all cases, the fractal dimensions fell in the range from 2.1 to 1.8, corresponding to two regimes: diffusion-limited cluster aggregation (DLCA) and reaction-limited cluster aggregation (RLCA). Whereas DMPC clusters showed a typical transition from the RLCA to the DLCA aggregation, EYPC exhibited an unusual behaviour, since the aggregation was limited for a higher concentration than the critical aggregation concentration. The behaviour of DPPC was intermediate, with a transition from the RLCA to the DLCA regimes with cluster sizes depending on Ca²⁺ concentration. Studies on the reversibility of the aggregates show that EYPC and DPPC clusters can be re-dispersed by dilution with water. DMPC does not present reversibility. Reversibility is evidence of the existence of secondary minima in the DLVO potential between two liposomes. To predict these secondary minima, a correction of the DLVO model was necessary taking into account a repulsive force of hydration.     

The crumpling transition of crystalline random surfaces

We investigate the crumpling transition in two different models of crystalline random surfaces with extrinsic curvature which have recently caused some confusion and find that many of the results previously obtained are erroneous. Using the Fourier acceleration technique to ameliorate critical slowing down problems we have made numerical simulations of surfaces of up to 128² points embedded in three dimensions. The first model, which has a non-compact lattice version of the extrinsic curvature, suffers from a sickness in the non-crumpled phase which is a lattice artefact; it is smooth in one intrinsic direction and folded up on the scale of the lattice spacing in the other, so we call this phase corrugated. The crumpling transition is continuous, having a diverging persistence length with critical exponent v = 1.15 ± 0.15 and a cusp in the specific heat indicating that 0. The second model, in which the extrinsic curvature depends upon the cosine of the angle between normals of adjacent triangles, also has a continuous transition with v = 0.94 ± 0.20 and = 0.53 ± 0.15. Just beyond the crumpling transition, the smooth phase is found to have Hausdorff dimension d_H < 2.14 at two standard deviations and so we conclude that d_H = 2 throughout this phase. A study of the correlation functions shows that, in the crumpled phase, the system is apparently described by a very simple gaussian action. If true, this result could have important implications which we discuss briefly.     

铁磁/非磁金属异质结中的拓扑霍尔效应

在铁磁/非磁金属异质结中,界面处的Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya相互作用会诱导诸如磁性斯格明子等手性磁畴壁结构的形成.当巡游电子通过手性磁畴壁结构时,会获得一个贝里相位,而相应的贝里曲率则等效于一个外磁场,它将诱导额外的霍尔效应,即拓扑霍尔效应.拓扑霍尔效应是当前磁性斯格明子和自旋电子学研究领域的热点之一.本文由实空间贝里相位出发,简要介绍了拓扑霍尔效应的物理机制;然后着重讨论了铁磁/非磁金属异质结中的拓扑霍尔效应,包括磁性多层膜中和MnGa/重金属双层膜中的拓扑霍尔效应.这两种结构都可以通过改变材料的厚度、种类、生长方式等调控界面Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya相互作用,从而有效地调控磁性斯格明子和拓扑霍尔效应.     

Vortices and phase transitions in two-dimensional non-abelian spin models

We modify O(n) models (n>2) in two dimensions so as to comparedifferent thoeries with identical local properties and different global ones. Our O′ (3) model with a particular interaction has vortex-like configuration (π₁(P₂) = Z₂) though it is locally equivalent to an O (3) model (π₁(S₂) = 0). Our results have been obtained by means of strong coupling methods. The Padé extrapolants show a critical value x_c = 11.8.     

Kinetic Simulation of Fractal Aggregation on Liquid Surfaces

A modified fractal growth model based on the deposition, diffusion, and aggregation (DDA) with cluster rotation is presented to simulate two-dimensional fractal aggregation on liquid surfaces. The mobility (including diffusion and rotation) of clusters is related to its mass, which is given by D_m=D₀ s^-γ_D and θ_m=θ₀s^-γ_θ, respectively. We concentrate on revealing the details of the influence of deposition flux F, cluster diffusion factor γ_D and cluster rotation factor γ_θ on the dynamics of fractal aggregation on liquid surfaces. It is shown that the morphologies of clusters and values of cluster density and fractal dimension depend dramatically on the deposition flux and migration factors of clusters.     

Fractal structure of high-temperature graphs of O(N) models in two dimensions

The critical behavior of the two-dimensional O(N) model close to criticality is shown to be encoded in the fractal structure of the high-temperature graphs of the model. Based on Monte Carlo simulations and with the help of percolation theory, de Gennes' results for polymer rings, corresponding to the limit N-->0, are generalized to random loops for arbitrary -2相似文献   

Langevin description of critical phenomena with two symmetric absorbing states

On the basis of general considerations, we propose a Langevin equation accounting for critical phenomena occurring in the presence of two symmetric absorbing states. We study its phase diagram by mean-field arguments and direct numerical integration in physical dimensions. Our findings fully account for and clarify the intricate picture known so far from the aggregation of partial results obtained with microscopic models. We argue that the direct transition from disorder to one of two absorbing states is best described as a (generalized) voter critical point and show that it can be split into an Ising and a directed percolation transition in dimensions larger than one.     

Matter Effects on Neutrino Oscillations in Different Supernova Models

In recent years,with the development of simulations about supernova explosion,we have a better understanding about the density profiles and the shock waves in supernovae than before.There might be a reverse shock wave,another sudden change of density except the forward shock wave,or even no shock wave,emerging in the supernova.Instead of using the expression of the crossing probability at the high resonance,PH,we have studied the matter effects on neutrino oscillations in different supernova models.In detail,we have calculated the survival probability of νe(P_s)and the conversion probability of ν_x(P_c) in the Schrodinger equation within a simplified two-flavor framework for a certain case,in which the neutrino transfers through the supernova matter from an initial flavor eigenstate located at the core of the supernova.Our calculations was based on the data of density in three different supernova models obtained from simulations.In our work,we do not steepen the density gradient around the border of the shock wave,which differs to what was done in most of the other simulations.It is found that the mass and the density distribution of the supernova do make a difference on the behavior of P_s and P_c.With the results of P_s and P_c,we can estimate the number of νe(and ν_x) remained in the beam after they go through the matter in the supernova.

Anisotropy Effects and Observational Data on the Constraints of Evolution Dark Energy Models

We investigate cosmological dark energy models where the accelerated expansion of the universe is driven by a field with an anisotropic universe. The constraints on the parameters are obtained by maximum likelihood analysis using observational of 194 Type Ia supernovae(SNIa) and the most recent joint light-curve analysis(JLA) sample. In particular we reconstruct the dark energy equation of state parameter w(z) and the deceleration parameter q(z). We find that the best fit dynamical w(z) obtained from the 194 SNIa dataset does not cross the phantom divide line w(z) =-1 and remains above and close to w(z)≈-0.92 line for the whole redshift range 0 ≤ z ≤ 1.75 showing no evidence for phantom behavior. By applying the anisotropy effect on the ΛCDM model, the joint analysis indicates that ?_(σ0)= 0.0163 ± 0.03,with 194 SNIa, ?_(σ0)=-0.0032 ± 0.032 with 238 the SiFTO sample of JLA and ?_(σ0)= 0.011 ± 0.0117 with 1048 the SALT2 sample of Pantheon at 1σ′confidence interval. The analysis shows that by considering the anisotropy, it leads to more best fit parameters in all models with JLA SNe datasets. Furthermore, we use two statistical tests such as the usual χ_(min)~2/dof and p-test to compare two dark energy models with ΛCDM model. Finally we show that the presence of anisotropy is confirmed in mentioned models via SNIa dataset.     

Lyapunov exponent, generalized entropies and fractal dimensions of hot drops

We calculate the maximal Lyapunov exponent, the generalized entropies, the asymptotic distance between nearby trajectories and the fractal dimensions for a finite two-dimensional system at different initial excitation energies. We show that these quantities have a maximum at about the same excitation energy. The presence of this maximum indicates the transition from a chaotic regime to a more regular one. In the chaotic regime the system is composed mainly of a liquid drop while the regular one corresponds to almost freely flowing particles and small clusters. At the transitional excitation energy the fractal dimensions are similar to those estimated from the Fisher model for a liquid-gas phase transition at the critical point.
