Role of orbital dynamics in spin relaxation and weak antilocalization in quantum dots

We develop a semiclassical theory for spin-dependent quantum transport to describe weak (anti)localization in quantum dots with spin-orbit coupling. This allows us to distinguish different types of spin relaxation in systems with chaotic, regular, and diffusive orbital classical dynamics. We find, in particular, that for typical Rashba spin-orbit coupling strengths, integrable ballistic systems can exhibit weak localization, while corresponding chaotic systems show weak antilocalization. We further calculate the magnetoconductance and analyze how the weak antilocalization is suppressed with decreasing quantum dot size and increasing additional in-plane magnetic field.

Three-dimensional chaotic autonomous van der pol–duffing type oscillator and its fractional-order form

In this paper, a three-dimensional autonomous Van der Pol-Duffing (VdPD) type oscillator is proposed. The three-dimensional autonomous VdPD oscillator is obtained by replacing the external periodic drive source of two-dimensional chaotic nonautonomous VdPD type oscillator by a direct positive feedback loop. By analyzing the stability of the equilibrium points, the existence of Hopf bifurcation is established. The dynamical properties of proposed three-dimensional autonomous VdPD type oscillator is investigated showing that for a suitable choice of the parameters, it can exhibit periodic behaviors, chaotic behaviors and coexistence between periodic and chaotic attractors. Moreover, the physical existence of the chaotic behavior and coexisting attractors found in three-dimensional proposed autonomous VdPD type oscillator is verified by using Orcard-PSpice software. A good qualitative agreement is shown between the numerical simulations and Orcard-PSpice results. In addition, fractional-order chaotic three-dimensional proposed autonomous VdPD type oscillator is studied. The lowest order of the commensurate form of this oscillator to exhibit chaotic behavior is found to be 2.979. The stability analysis of the controlled fractional-order-form of proposed three-dimensional autonomous VdPD type oscillator at its equilibria is undertaken using Routh–Hurwitz conditions for fractional-order systems. Finally, an example of observer-based synchronization applied to unidirectional coupled identical proposed chaotic fractional-order oscillator is illustrated. It is shown that synchronization can be achieved for appropriate coupling strength.     

Vibrational relaxation of a molecule in a dense medium

In this paper we consider some features of vibrational relaxation of a guest molecule in a host matrix. The model system involves a harmonic molecule interacting with a harmonic medium. The molecule-medium coupling was handled by the rotating wave approximation considering linear terms in the intramolecular displacements and high terms in the medium displacements. Three specific models for the molecule-medium coupling were considered, which involve single phonon decay, vibron-phonon decay and multiphonon decay. Within the framework of the random phase approximation the Heisenberg equations of motion for the system could be expressed in terms of a unified scheme which is valid for both single phonon and multiphonon processes. Explicit solutions were derived utilizing the Wigner-Weisskopf approximation. This generalized formalism was applied for the study of the time evolution of the distribution, the cooling and the heating processes of the oscillator by a thermal field and for the coupling between vibrational relaxation and infra-red emission.     

A non-ideal portal frame energy harvester controlled using a pendulum

A model of energy harvester based on a simple portal frame structure is presented. The system is considered to be non-ideal system (NIS) due to interaction with the energy source, a DC motor with limited power supply and the system structure. The nonlinearities present in the piezoelectric material are considered in the piezoelectric coupling mathematical model. The system is a bi-stable Duffing oscillator presenting a chaotic behavior. Analyzing the average power variation, and bifurcation diagrams, the value of the control variable that optimizes power or average value that stabilizes the chaotic system in the periodic orbit is determined. The control sensitivity is determined to parametric errors in the damping and stiffness parameters of the portal frame. The proposed passive control technique uses a simple pendulum to tuned to the vibration of the structure to improve the energy harvesting. The results show that with the implementation of the control strategy it is possible to eliminate the need for active or semi active control, usually more complex. The control also provides a way to regulate the energy captured to a desired operating frequency.     

Justification of the “symmetric damping” model of the dynamical Casimir effect in a cavity with a semiconductor mirror*

A “microscopic” justification of the “symmetric damping” model of a quantum oscillator with time-dependent frequency and time-dependent damping is given. This model is used to predict the results of experiments on simulating the dynamical Casimir effect in a cavity with a photo-excited semiconductor mirror. It is shown that the most general bilinear time-dependent coupling of a selected oscillator (field mode) to a bath of harmonic oscillators results in two equal friction coefficients for the both quadratures, provided all the coupling coefficients are proportional to a single arbitrary function of time whose duration is much shorter than the periods of all oscillators. The choice of coupling in the rotating wave approximation form leads to the “minimum noise” model of the quantum damped oscillator, introduced earlier in a pure phenomenological way.

Physical mechanism of the chaotic detection of the unknown frequency of weak harmonic signal and effects of damping ratio on the detection results

In the zero-order approximation, we use the perturbation method of parameter with small magnitude to prove that the harmonic frequency in the solution of the equation is close to that of the driving force when the chaotic system from Duffing－Holmes equation stays in the stable periodic state, which is the physical mechanism of the detection of the unknown frequency of weak harmonic signal using the chaotic theory. The result of the simulation experiment shows that the method proposed in this paper, by which one can determine the frequency of the stable system from the number of circulation change of the phase state directionally across a fixed phase state point (x,\dot{x}) in fixed simulation time period, is successful. Analyzing the effects of the damping ratio on the chaotic detection result, one can see that for different frequency ranges it is necessary to carefully choose corresponding damping ratio α.     

The characteristics of nonlinear chaotic dynamics in quantum cellular neural networks

With the polarization of quantum-dot cell and quantum phase serving as state variables, this paper does both theoretical analysis and simulation for the complex nonlinear dynamical behaviour of a three-cell-coupled Quantum Cellular Neural Network （QCNN）, including equilibrium points, bifurcation and chaotic behaviour. Different phenomena, such as quasi-periodic, chaotic and hyper-chaotic states as well as bifurcations are revealed. The system＇s bifurcation and chaotic behaviour under the influence of the different coupling parameters are analysed. And it finds that the unbalanced cells coupled QCNN is easy to cause chaotic oscillation and the system response enters into chaotic state from quasi-periodic state by quasi-period bifurcation; however, the balanced cells coupled QCNN also can be chaotic when coupling parameters is in some region. Additionally, both the unbalanced and balanced cells coupled QCNNs can possess hyper-chaotic behaviour. It provides valuable information about QCNNs for future application in high-parallel signal processing and novel ultra-small chaotic generators.     

Bifurcation and chaos analysis of a nonlinear electromechanical coupling relative rotation system

Hopf bifurcation and chaos of a nonlinear electromechanical coupling relative rotation system are studied in this paper. Considering the energy in air-gap field of AC motor, the dynamical equation of nonlinear electromechanical coupling relative rotation system is deduced by using the dissipation Lagrange equation. Choosing the electromagnetic stiffness as a bifurcation parameter, the necessary and sufficient conditions of Hopf bifurcation are given, and the bifurcation characteristics are studied. The mechanism and conditions of system parameters for chaotic motions are investigated rigorously based on the Silnikov method, and the homoclinic orbit is found by using the undetermined coefficient method. Therefore, Smale horseshoe chaos occurs when electromagnetic stiffness changes. Numerical simulations are also given, which confirm the analytical results.     

A flux-controlled model of meminductor and its application in chaotic oscillator

A meminductor is a new type of memory device developed from the memristor.We present a mathematical model of a flux-controlled meminductor and its equivalent circuit model for exploring the properties of the meminductor in a nonlinear circuit.We explore the response characteristics of the meminductor under the exciting signals of sinusoidal,square,and triangular waves by using theoretical analysis and experimental tests,and design a meminductor-based oscillator based on the model.Theoretical analysis and experiments show that the meminductor-based oscillator possesses complex bifurcation behaviors and can generate periodic and chaotic oscillations.A special phenomenon called the co-existent oscillation that can generate multiple oscillations(such as chaotic,periodic oscillations as well as stable equilibrium) with the same parameters and different initial conditions occurs.We also design an analog circuit to realize the meminductor-based oscillator,and the circuit experiment results are in accordance with the theory analysis.

Noise-induced mixed-mode oscillations in a relaxation oscillator near the onset of a limit cycle

A detailed asymptotic study of the effect of small Gaussian white noise on a relaxation oscillator undergoing a supercritical Hopf bifurcation is presented. The analysis reveals an intricate stochastic bifurcation leading to several kinds of noise-driven mixed-mode oscillations at different levels of amplitude of the noise. In the limit of strong time-scale separation, five different scaling regimes for the noise amplitude are identified. As the noise amplitude is decreased, the dynamics of the system goes from the limit cycle due to self-induced stochastic resonance to the coherence resonance limit cycle, then to bursting relaxation oscillations, followed by rare clusters of several relaxation cycles (spikes), and finally to small-amplitude oscillations (or stable fixed point) with sporadic single spikes. These scenarios are corroborated by numerical simulations.

Controlling chaotic oscillators by altering their energy

We developed the control technique for nonlinear oscillators when simple feedback alters the oscillation energy. The control does not require any computation nor knowledge of the system equations. Depending on the control perturbation parameters, two scenarios take place: (i) changing (linearly or nonlinearly) the oscillator damping, and (ii) suppressing (enhancing) the driving force. In the case of large deviations between phases of the chaotic oscillator and the driving force, only first scenario holds. Generalization of the technique to the case of oscillator networks is considered.
