Pair annihilation effects in multiquark spectroscopy

Pair annihilations in multiquark spectroscopy, in contrast to \(Q\bar Q\) mesons, is an effect of leading order in α _s and cannot be consistently neglected. Their observation in experiment would help to confirm QCD as a quantum field theory, identify the quantum numbers of the gluon, and give information on possible states with gluon constituents. These effects are studied here theoretically in some detail in expectation of experimental data which are beginning to be available.     

Finite-size effects in single chain magnets: an experimental and theoretical study

The problem of finite-size effects in s=1/2 Ising systems showing slow dynamics of the magnetization is investigated introducing diamagnetic impurities in a Co2+-radical chain. The static magnetic properties have been measured and analyzed considering the peculiarities induced by the ferrimagnetic character of the compound. The dynamic susceptibility shows that an Arrhenius law is observed with the same energy barrier for the pure and the doped compounds while the prefactor decreases, as theoretically predicted. Multiple spin reversal has also been investigated.

Finite-size effects at first-order transitions

Finite-size rounding of a first-order phase transition is studied in “block”- and “cylinder”-shaped ferromagnetic scalar spin systems. Crossover in shape is investigated and the universal form of the rounded susceptibility peak is obtained. Scaling forms on the low-temperature side of the critical point are considered both above and below the borderline dimensionality,d _>=4. A method of phenomenological renormalization, applicable to both odd and even field derivatives, is suggested and used to estimate universal amplitudes for two-dimensional Ising models atT=T_c.     

Finite-size effects on a lattice calculation

We study in this Letter the finite-size effects of a non-periodic lattice on a lattice calculation. To this end we use a finite lattice equipped with a central difference derivative with homogeneous boundary conditions to calculate the bosonic mass associated to the Schwinger model. We found that the homogeneous boundary conditions produce absence of fermion doubling and chiral invariance, but we also found that in the continuum limit this lattice model does not yield the correct value of the boson mass as other models do. We discuss the reasons for this and, as a result, the matrix which cause the fermion doubling problem is identified.     

Finite-size effects in conductance measurements on quantum dots

The observation of the Kondo effect in quantum dots has provided new opportunities to finally observe the controversial Kondo screening cloud. Here we study the conductance of a quantum dot embedded in a finite length quantum wire, predicting a change in behavior when the length of the wire is comparable to the size of the screening cloud.     

Finite-size effects in a cellular automaton for diffusion

The question whether diffusion in the hard-square lattice gas is blocked in the thermodynamic limit is mapped to the problem whether percolation occurs in the time evolution of a cellular automaton. The final states of the cellular automaton are investigated for varying lattice sizes from 6×6 up to 20,035×20,032. The results seem to indicate that there is a percolation threshold, i.e., a range of concentrations for which diffusion is blocked. However, since this cannot be true for the infinite system, as proven rigorously, it is concluded that finite-size effects persist for this system up to very large sizes.     

Finite-size effects on intensity correlations in random media

The correlations between waves transmitted through random media are analyzed by use of a random-matrix approach and numerical simulations of rough waveguides. Although the intensity and conductance fluctuations are practically independent of the sample length, the correlations present a strong dependence on the length of the disordered region. In waveguide geometries the long-range correlations C((2)) and C((3)), usually associated to intensity and conductance fluctuations, respectively, become negative as the length of the system decreases. Our results provide a new interpretation of recent optical experiments on disordered slab geometries.     

Finite-size effects in the self-organized critical forest-fire model

We study finite-size effects in the self-organized critical forest-fire model by numerically evaluating the tree density and the fire size distribution. The results show that this model does not display the finite-size scaling seen in conventional critical systems. Rather, the system is composed of relatively homogeneous patches of different tree densities, leading to two qualitatively different types of fires: those that span an entire patch and those that do not. As the system size becomes smaller, the system contains less patches, and finally becomes homogeneous, with large density fluctuations in time.

Finite-size effects for some bootstrap percolation models

The consequences of Schonmann's new proof that the critical threshold is unity for certain bootstrap percolation models are explored. It is shown that this proof provides an upper bound for the finite-size scaling in these systems. Comparison with data for one case demonstrates that this scaling appears to give the correct asymptotics. We show that the threshold for a finite system of sizeL scales asO[ln(lnL)] for the isotropic model in three dimensions where sites that fail to have at least four neighbors are culled.Related systems have been studied in the context of cellular automata.⁽⁴⁾     

Finite-size effects in tunneling between parallel quantum wires

We present theoretical calculations and experimental measurements which reveal finite-size effects in the tunneling between two parallel quantum wires, fabricated at the cleaved edge of a GaAs/AlGaAs bilayer heterostructure. Observed oscillations in the differential conductance, as a function of bias voltage and applied magnetic field, provide direct information on the shape of the confining potential. Superimposed modulations indicate the existence of two distinct excitation velocities, as expected from spin-charge separation.
