Biased lattice gases with correlated equilibrium states

The approach to and structure of the equilibrium state is studied for a 7-bit lattice gas with biased forward and backward transition rates by means of mean field theory and computer simulations. If the rate constants obey the factorizability and the detailed balance conditions, the occupations of different velocity directions are uncorrelated, anH-theorem is valid, and a nonuniversal equilibrium state exists that depends explicitly on the transition rates. In case the above conditions are not satisfied, theH-theorem is no longer valid, and mean field theory also predicts nontrivial velocity correlations in postcollision states. The simulations are mainly concentrated on the time dependence of pre- and postcollision velocity correlations on a single node, and on slowly increasing fluctuations that might indicate metastable behavior.     

Computer generated phase holograms (kinoforms) for millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths

Computer generated Fourier transform phase holograms, known as kinoforms, have been synthesized, manufactured and their performance evaluated at a wavelength of 3 mm (100 GHz). The kinoforms were synthesized to give a prescribed far-field intensity distribution and manufactured by milling the computed kinoform surface relief into a Teflon plate, using a numerically controlled milling machine. The measured diffraction efficiencies exceed 50 percent. Millimeter-wave kinoforms can be used in various quasi-optical applications,e.g. distributing a local oscillator signal to an array of detector elements in heterodyne receivers.     

Testing underwater bottom-moored antenna arrays in the sea and in a man-made lake

Measurements of response, gain, and noise immunity are carried out for an underwater compensated additive receiving array with randomly spaced hydrophones that is moored at the bottom of a man-made lake with multimode sound propagation. The in-sea locating ability of a similar array is demonstrated with the sources of noiselike signals at frequencies of 5–100 Hz. A dedicated numerical processor is developed and tested for processing the signals received by a random underwater array.     

Critical phenomena with convergent series expansions in a finite volume

Linked cluster expansions are generalized from an infinite to a finite volume. They are performed to 20th order in the expansion parameter to approach the critical region from the symmetric phase. A new criterion is proposed to distinguish first- from second-order transitions within a finite-size scaling analysis. The criterion applies also to other methods for investigating the phase structure, such as Monte Carlo simulations. Our computational tools are illustrated with the example of scalar (O(N) models with four- and six-point couplings forN=1 andN=4 in three dimensions. It is shown how to localize the tricritical line in these models. We indicate some further applications of our methods to the electroweak transition as well as to models for superconductivity.     

Influence of Anisotropic Wind Waves on the Efficiency of Spatial Processing of Acoustic Signals in Shallow Water

The authors investigate the effect of anisotropy of the frequency-angular spectrum of wind waves on the efficiency of spatial processing signals received by a horizontal array in a shallow water waveguide with a rough surface. The array gain is analyzed for three array signal processors: conventional beamformer, optimal linear processor, and optimal quadratic processor. The numerical simulation results for the hydrological conditions typical of the Barents Sea in winter are presented. The main focus is on the dependence of the array gain on the distance to the source and wind direction with respect to the acoustic path. Simulation results for the anisotropic wind wave spectrum and a simplified model with an isotropic spectrum are also compared.

     

Critical Dynamics of Transverse-field Quantum Ising Model using Finite-Size Scaling and Matrix Product States

The study of phase transition is usually done by numerical simulation of finite system. Conventional methods such as Monte Carlo simulations and phenomenological renormalization group methods obtain the critical exponents without obtaining the quantum wavefunction of the system. The Matrix Product States formalism allows one to obtain accurate numerical wavefunctions of short ranged interacting quantum many-body systems. In this study we combine the Finite Size Scaling theory and Matrix Product States formalism to study the critical dynamics of one-dimensional quantum Ising model. Finite size simulations of 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 and 120 spins are done using the Density Matrix Renormalization Group to obtain the ground state wavefunction of the system. The thermodynamic quantities such as the magnetization, susceptibility and correlation function are calculated. The critical exponents independently calculated are respectively β/ν = 0.1235(1), γ/ν = 1.7351(2), and η = 0.249(1). They conform with the theoretical values from analytical solution and fulfil the hyperscaling relation. We showed that both methods combined can reliably study the critical dynamics of one-dimensional Ising-like quantum lattice systems. Application of the study on water-ice phase transition of single-file water in nanopores is proposed.

Evidence for a cubic-to-icosahedral transition of quasi-free Pd-H-clusters controlled by the hydrogen content

An in situ synchrotron radiation study of quasi-free five nanometer-sized palladium clusters during hydrogen absorption is combined with molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the structural development. In the diffraction patterns, strong intensity changes are found that provide evidence for a structural phase transformation that is significantly different from the α--Pd-H bulk phase transition. The structural transition is reversible and driven by the hydrogen concentration. The intensity changes are consistent with a cubic-to-icosahedral structural phase transition obtained in molecular dynamical simulations using embedded-atom-method potentials.

Dielectric properties and the ferroelectric transition of the Stockmayer-fluid via computer simulation

We report extensive molecular dynamics simulations of the Stockmayer fluid near the transition to fluid ferroelectric ordering monitored via the divergence of the static dielectric constant. The dependence of the transition on dipole strength, μ², temperature, T, and system size is investigated. The results are compared to a large number of previous simulations in the literature. We find that the effective transition temperature T/(ρ μ²) ≈ 0.19 for ρ?=?0.8 is a good estimate in the range of the other parameter values considered here. In addition, we study the local field in relation to the structure and dynamics of the liquid phase as a function of temperature, dipole strength and polarizability.     

Flicker noise in degenerately doped Si single crystals near the metal-insulator transition

In this paper we report some of the important results of experimental investigations of the flicker noise near the metal-insulator (MI) transition in doped silicon single crystals. This is the first comprehensive work to study low-frequency noise in heavily doped Si over an extensive temperature range (2 K<T<500 K). The measurements of conductance fluctuations (flicker noise) were carried out in the frequency range 10⁻²<f<4 × 10¹ Hz in single crystalline Si across the MI transition by doping with phosphorous and boron. The magnitude of noise in heavily doped Si is much larger than that seen in lightly doped Si over the whole temperature range. The extensive temperature range covered allowed us to detect two distinct noise mechanisms. At low temperatures (T<100 K) universal conductance fluctuations (UCF) dominate and the spectral dependence of the noise is determined by dephasing the electron from defects with two-levels (TLS). At higher temperatures (T>200 K) the noise arises from activated defect dynamics. As the MI transition is approached, the 1/f spectral power, typical of the metallic regime, gets modified by the presence of discrete Lorentzians which arise from generation-recombination process which is the characteristic of a semiconductor.

Lifetime measurement in 74Kr and 76Kr

Lifetimes of excited states in the ground-state bands of ⁷⁴Kr and ⁷⁶Kr were measured using the recoil-distance Doppler-shift and the differential decay curve methods. The states were populated in the ⁴⁰Ca(⁴⁰Ca, α2p) and ⁴⁰Ca(⁴⁰Ca, 4p) reactions. Gamma rays were detected with the GASP array which was coupled to the Cologne Plunger device. The results resolve discrepancies between earlier lifetime measurements and a recent Coulomb excitation experiment. Experimental transition rates are compared to theoretical calculations. The results support a strong mixing between prolate and oblate configurations for the low-spin states, and represent an important basis for the interpretation and understanding of the shape coexistence phenomenon in this mass region.     

E2 transitions between positive- and negative-parity states of the ground-state alternating-parity bands

Experimental transition probabilities between states of the ground-state alternating-parity bands of ¹⁴⁴Ba and their theoretical analysis are presented. Lifetimes of states in ¹⁴⁴Ba have been measured using the recoil distance method following spontaneous fission of ²⁵²Cf. The experiment was performed at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory employing the Gammasphere array and the New Yale Plunger Device. The experimental data show a significantly larger value of the E2 transition probability between the negative-parity states compared to the positive-parity ones. It is shown that this effect can be explained by a higher weight of the deformed component in the wave functions of the odd-I states. In the framework of the cluster approach it is explained by a higher weight of the alpha-cluster component in the wave function of the negative-parity states compared to the positive-parity ones. In the framework of the traditional collective model with the quadrupole and octupole degrees of freedom the same effect is explained by a higher value of the quadrupole deformation at the minima of the potential energy as a function of β₂₀ and β₃₀ compared to its value at the top of the barrier separating two physically equivalent minima, having opposite signs of the octupole deformation. Additionally, the dependence on parity of the E2 transition probability is analyzed qualitatively in nuclei with a minimum at β₃₀ = 0 in the collective potential energy and compared to experimental data for ¹⁴⁸Nd.     

Nematic ordering problem as the polymer problem of the excluded volume

Based on a solution of the polymer excluded volume problem, a technique is proposed to estimate some parameters at the isotropic-nematic liquid crystal phase transition (the product of the volume fraction of hard sticks and the ratio of the stick length, L, to its diameter, D; the maximum value of this ratio at which one cannot regard the stick as hard). The critical exponents are estimated. The transition of a swelling polymer coil to ideal is revealed as the polymerization degree of a macromolecule increases. The entanglement concentration obtained agrees with experimental data for polymers with flexible chains. The number of monomers between neighbor entanglements is assumed to be the ratio L/D. A comparison of the theory with other ones and recent experimental data is made.     

Molecular dynamics studies of slow dynamics in random media: Type A-B and reentrant transitions

Molecular dynamics simulations of mobile particles confined in disordered immobile particles are carried out. Slow dynamics in random media are characterized by two types of dynamics: Type B dynamics for large mobile particle density and Type A dynamics for small mobile particle density. The crossover from Type A to B dynamics is studied by the mean square displacement and the density correlation function. Our results are qualitatively consistent with the results of recent numerical and theoretical studies on relevant spatially heterogeneous systems. We also investigate the effect of random matrix generation on the dynamics of mobile particles in order to examine the reentrant transition predicted by the recent mode-coupling theory. Our simulations demonstrate that the diffusion of the mobile particles largely depends on the protocol of the random matrix generation and that the reentrant transition is observed for a particular protocol.     

Coherent transport in linear arrays of quantum dots: The effects of period doubling and of quasi-periodicity

We evaluate the phase-coherent transport of electrons along linear structures of varying length, which are made from two types of potential wells set in either a periodic or a Fibonacci quasi-periodic sequence. The array is described by a tight-binding Hamiltonian and is reduced to an effective dimer by means of a decimation-renormalization method, extended to allow for connection to external metallic leads, and the transmission coefficient is evaluated in a T-matrix-scattering approach. Parallel behaviors are found for the energy dependence of the density of electron states and of the transmittivity of the array. In particular, we explicitly show that on increasing its length the periodic array undergoes a metal–insulator transition near single occupancy per dot, whereas prominent pseudo-gaps emerge away from the band center in the Fibonacci-ordered array.
