The reaction behavior of the title complexes have been investigated by means of in situ IR in nitrogen atmosphere. It has been found that they enabled the acetic acid to convert to acetone and methane in different temperatures. The results indicate that the sequence of the ketonization reaction activity for the clusters was [V3OAT] > [VFe2OAT], [V2CrOAT] > [Fe3OAT], [VCr2OAT] > [Cr3OAT] [OAT = (mu 3-O) (mu-O2CCH3)6 (THF)3], and the sequence of the methanation reaction activity for the clusters was [Cr3OAT] > [VCr2OAT], [V2CrOAT] > [V3OAT] > [VFe2OAT], [Fe2OAH]. The ketonization reaction activity of [Fe3OAT] were obviously lower than that of [Fe3OAH] [OAH = (mu 3-O) (mu-O2CCH3)6 (H2O)3] and the methanation reaction activity of [Cr3OAT] were also much lower than that of [Cr3OAH]. The difference between [Fe3OAH], [Cr3OAT] and [Fe3OAH], [Cr3OAH] mentioned above were discussed.     

Stabilization of chaotic and non-permanent food-web dynamics

Several decades of dynamical analyses of food-web networks [1-6] have led to important insights into the effects of complexity, omnivory and interaction strength on food-web stability [6-8]. Several recent insights [7, 8] are based on nonlinear bioenergetic consumer-resource models [9] that display chaotic behavior in three species food chains [10, 11] which can be stabilized by omnivory [7] and weak interaction of a fourth species [8]. We slightly relax feeding on low-density prey in these models by modifying standard food-web interactions known as type II functional responses [12]. This change drastically alters the dynamics of realistic systems containing up to ten species. Our modification stabilizes chaotic dynamics in three species systems and reduces or eliminates extinctions and non-persistent chaos [11] in ten species systems. This increased stability allows analysis of systems with greater biodiversity than in earlier work and suggests that dynamic stability is not as severe a constraint on the structure of large food webs as previously thought. The sensitivity of dynamical models to small changes in the predator-prey functional response well within the range of what is empirically observed suggests that functional response is a crucial aspect of species interactions that must be more precisely addressed in empirical studies.Received: 7 December 2003, Published online: 14 May 2004PACS: 05.45.-a Nonlinear dynamics and nonlinear dynamical systems - 05.45.Jn High-dimensional chaos - 05.45.Pq Numerical simulations of chaotic systems - 87.23.-n Ecology and evolution     

Self-organized Criticality in a Model Based on Neural Network

Based on the LISSOM neural network model, we introduce a model to investigate self-organized criticality in the activity of neural populations. The influence of connection (synapse) between neurons has been adequately considered in this model. It is found to exhibit self-organized criticality (SOC) behavior under appropriate conditions. We also find that the learning process has promotive influence on emergence of SOC behavior. In addition, we analyze the influence of various factors of the model on the SOC behavior, which is characterized by the power-law behavior of the avalanche size distribution.     

Automatic detection and branch switching methods for steady bifurcation in fluid mechanics

This paper deals with the computation of steady bifurcations in the framework of 2D incompressible Navier–Stokes flow. We first propose a numerical method to accurately detect the critical Reynolds number where this kind of bifurcation appears. From this singular value, we introduce a numerical tool to compute all the steady bifurcated branches. All these algorithms are based on the Asymptotic Numerical Method [1], [2]. The critical values are determined by using a bifurcation indicator [3], [4], [5] and the bifurcated branches are computed by using an augmented system which was first introduced in solid mechanics [4], [6]. Several numerical examples from 2D Navier–Stokes show the reliability and the efficiency of the proposed methods.     

A note on static spaces and related problems

In this paper we study static spaces introduced in Hawking and Ellis (1975)  [1], Fischer and Marsden (1975) [3] and Riemannian manifolds possessing solutions to the critical point equation introduced in Besse (1987)  [11], Hwang (2000)  [12]. In both cases, on the manifolds there is a function satisfying a particular Ricci–Hessian type equation (1.6). With an idea similar to that used in Cao et al. (2012)  [15], [16], we have made progress in solving the problem raised in Fischer and Marsden (1975)  [3] of classifying vacuum static spaces and in proving the conjecture proposed in Besse (1987)  [11] concerning manifolds admitting solutions to the critical point equation in general dimensions. We obtain even stronger results in dimension 3.     

Possible Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov superconducting state in CeCoIn5

We report specific heat measurements of the heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIn5 in the vicinity of the superconducting critical field H(c2), with magnetic fields in the [110], [100], and [001] directions, and at temperatures down to 50 mK. The superconducting phase transition changes from second to first order for fields above 10 T for H parallel [110] and H parallel [100]. In the same range of magnetic fields, we observe a second specific heat anomaly within the superconducting state. We interpret this anomaly as a signature of a Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) inhomogeneous superconducting state. We obtain similar results for H parallel [001], with the FFLO state occupying a smaller part of the phase diagram.     

Equilibrium states and ergodic properties of infinite systems

We discuss the ergodic theoretic structure of infinite classical systems and present results on the ergodic properties of some simple model systems, e.g., ideal gas, Lorentz gas, Harmonic crystal. (The ergodic properties of the latter system are shown to be related in a simple way to the spectrum of the force matrix; when the spectrum is absolutely continuous, as in the translation-invariant crystal, the flow is Bernoulli.) We argue that ergodic properties, suitably refined by the inclusion of space translations, and other structure, are important for an understanding of nonequilibrium properties of macroscopic systems [1–5]. Possible additional structures include requirements of stability for the stationary state. We shall present results on the classical analog of the work by Haag, Kastler, and Trych-Pohlmeyer [6], Araki [7], and others [8]. The existence of a time evolution and equilibrium states for various anharmonic crystal systems will also be discussed [9].Supported in part by AFOSR Grant No. 73-2430B.     

A self-organized model for network evolution

Here we provide a detailed analysis, along with some extensions and additonal investigations, of a recently proposed [1] self-organized model for the evolution of complex networks. Vertices of the network are characterized by a fitness variable evolving through an extremal dynamics process, as in the Bak-Sneppen [2] model representing a prototype of Self-Organized Criticality. The network topology is in turn shaped by the fitness variable itself, as in the fitness network model [3]. The system self-organizes to a nontrivial state, characterized by a power-law decay of dynamical and topological quantities above a critical threshold. The interplay between topology and dynamics in the system is the key ingredient leading to an unexpected behaviour of these quantities.     

Static and time-dependent solutions of Einstein-Maxwell-Yukawa fields

An exact solution of Einstein-Maxwell-Yukawa field equations has been obtained in a space-time with a static metric. A critical analysis reveals that the results previously obtained by Patel [9], Singh [10], and Taub [11] are particular cases of our solution. The singular behavior of the solutions has also been discussed in this paper. Further, extending the technique developed by Janis et al. [12], for static fields, to the case of nonstatic fields, an exact time-dependent axially symmetric solution of EMY fields has been obtained. Our solution in the nonstatic case is nonsingular in the sense of Bonnor [15] and presents a generalization of the results obtained by Misra [7] to the case when a zero-mass scalar field coexists with a source free electromagnetic field.     

Radiation of an electric dipole located on the “Coastline”

The radiation characteristics of a vertical electrical dipole located in a narrow transition domain with a different law of impedance variation, as calculated from [4] and [5], are compared with the results in [2]. The sense of the solutions formally obtained earlier is discussed [1, 2]. The process of radiowave propagation along tracks inclined slightly to the coastline is investigated numerically.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 9, pp. 91–95, September, 1972.     

Excellence – energy – ethics

Dear pss readers, As the previous year approached its end, news on three excellent prize winnings and nominations of pss authors and editors reached us: Gerhard Abstreiter of TU Munich will receive the Stern–Gerlach Medal 2014, the highest prize of the German Physical Society for experimental physics, honoring his work on low‐dimensional electron systems in semiconductor hetero‐ and nanostructures. His Review@RRL on InGaAs nanowires on silicon is opening the 2014 volume of pss (RRL) [1]. It is a welcome addition to our recent successful Focus Issue on Semiconductor Nanowires [2]. Our long‐term Editorial Advisory Board member, Wiley author and Guest Editor, Rainer Waser of RWTH Aachen and Research Centre Jülich, is one of the 11 winners of the highly prestigious Leibniz Prize for his outstanding research on nanoelectronics, especially oxides, ferroelectrics and resistive switching [3, 4]. Last but not least, one of the three nominated teams for the German Future Prize has been led by Wolfgang Schnick , LMU Munich, and Peter J. Schmidt , Philips Lumileds Aachen. Their groundbreaking work on new phosphor materials in white light emitting diodes (LEDs) for solid‐state lighting [5] goes back to a highly‐cited pss (a) article from 2005 [6] (see figure). The technology is now being commercialized and expected to enable energy savings on a grand scale in the coming years. Speaking of energy, research results related to this global challenge have been important throughout the year, touching areas such as thermoelectrics [7], efficiency of organic LEDs [8] and photovoltaics [9]. The latter field is even better represented since the recent introduction of our section rrl solar, covering solar cell materials or device development and characterization (see Editorial [10]). The full‐paper sister journals pss (a) and (b) presented an unprecedented number of high‐profile special issues in 2013 [11–15]. With heartfelt gratitude we look back onto fruitful collaboration with highly engaged guest editors, who helped bring to light issues such as the “Advanced Concepts for Silicon Based Photovoltaics” [11], the “Quantum Criticality and Novel Phases” [12], the “Disorder in Order: A special issue on amorphous materials” [13], the “Substrate Interactions in Heterogeneous Catalysis” [14], and the “Quantum Transport at the Molecular Scale” [15] among other interesting topical issues and sections. Both contributors and fine articles are too numerous to do justice to all of them here. We must restrict ourselves to a general invitation to browse this content, only hinting a few possible starting points, such as topological insulators [16], molecular electronics [17] and quantum phase transitions [18].

     

Critical Stability in Nuclei – An Old Problem Revisited

In this paper we will focus on the nucleon-nucleon interaction in relative S-states. The ¹S₀ interaction is known to be close to that for critical two-body binding. We will discuss two approaches to the NN interaction, which are equivalent on-shell but not off-shell. There is a well-defined transformation between these approaches [1]. One (my preferred approach) is to minimize the tensor forces far off-shell, which leads to more rapid convergence, but at the price of significant non-locality. This approach is used in a model of relativistic tensor quenching of OPEP [2]. With non-local NN interactions it is possible to fit not only NN observables, but also the NNN ground-state energies [3]. The other approach is to maximize the role of the and keep the interaction as local as possible [4]. This approach is also internally consistent, but requires additional NNN interactions to fit nuclear data. Also, we discuss briefly a so-called low momentum interaction [5, 6], which fits S-wave phase shifts quite well. This interaction is strongly non-local, and it can be approximated by a schematic separable interaction. Finally, we mention the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model [7] and a good approximation, the Hulthen potential, which provides some insight into the near critical two-body binding.     

Effect of Ps-phonon interaction on the momentum distribution of positronium atoms in a crystal

In single crystals, posttronium can exist both in the localized and delocalized states [1–8]. Delocalized positronium is revealed by peaks in the angular distribution in the annihilation of quanta (AD), which occupy positions corresponding to the projections of the reciprocal lattice vectors onto a direction determined by the setup. The peaks indicated show the Bloch states of positronium [1–3]. As the temperature increases, the fraction of delocalized positronium decreases, while the peaks stemming from it broaden (see [3–7]). The broadening of the momentum distribution n(k) of positronium atoms (compared to the Maxwellian distribution with the particle mass equal to the rest mass (m_o) of the Ps atom), as shown by Ikary [9], viewing the Ps atom as an exciton, can be explained as the decay of quasiparticle positronium states due to the Ps-phonon interaction.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 11, pp. 63–66, November, 1981.     

Mass Balance in Near-Cathode Plasma and Initiation of Quick-Moving Cathode Spots

The explosive model of a quick-moving cathode spot [2], [3] allows us to describe many experimental facts qualitatively. However, some details of the model need further physical explanation, in particular because of the analysis of the latest experimental data [4]. Estimations given in this paper show it is possible to include in the framework of the explosive model mass balance in the plasma ball and explain the fact of the appearance of a new spot at the periphery of an old one observed in experiments [9], [10]. From the physical point of view, solution of this question is connected in the paper with the presence of oxide film on the cathode surface. Besides, it is shown that the discrepancy in erosion, observed in experiments [2], [4], can be connected with the difference in the thickness of oxide film.     

Domain structures of crystals of cobalt and magnetoplumbite in the residually magnetized and demagnetized states

A strong field perpendicular to the [0001] axis produces a layered domain structure, the domain boundaries being perpendicular to the field [1–3]; this is not explained by the theory, which indicates [4, 5] that the best position is with the boundaries parallel to the field. The latter has been observed [6–9] for thin magnetically uniaxial crystals when the field is at 70^* to [0001], whereas a honeycomb structure occurs in these specimens when the field is perpendicular to [0001]. The causes of these effects have been examined by reference to the action of the field direction relative to the hexagonal axis on the domain structure. A similar problem has been considered [6–9] for crystals a few microns thick.

Minimal attractors in digraph system models of neuronal networks

We study a class of discrete dynamical systems models of neuronal networks. In these models, each neuron is represented by a finite number of states and there are rules for how a neuron transitions from one state to another. In particular, the rules determine when a neuron fires and how this affects the state of other neurons. In an earlier paper [D. Terman, S. Ahn, X. Wang, W. Just, Reducing neuronal networks to discrete dynamics, Physica D 237 (2008) 324-338], we demonstrate that a general class of excitatory-inhibitory networks can, in fact, be rigorously reduced to the discrete model. In the present paper, we analyze how the connectivity of the network influences the dynamics of the discrete model. For randomly connected networks, we find two major phase transitions. If the connection probability is above the second but below the first phase transition, then starting in a generic initial state, most but not all cells will fire at all times along the trajectory as soon as they reach the end of their refractory period. Above the first phase transition, this will be true for all cells in a typical initial state; thus most states will belong to a minimal attractor of oscillatory behavior (in a sense that is defined precisely in the paper). The exact positions of the phase transitions depend on intrinsic properties of the cells including the lengths of the cells’ refractory periods and the thresholds for firing. Existence of these phase transitions is both rigorously proved for sufficiently large networks and corroborated by numerical experiments on networks of moderate size.     

A study of the critical properties of the Ising model on body-centered cubic lattice taking into account the interaction of next behind nearest neighbors

The replica Monte Carlo method has been used to investigate the critical behavior of a threedimensional antiferromagnetic Ising model on a body-centered cubic lattice, taking into account interactions of the adjacent behind neighbors. Investigations are carried out for the ratios of the values of exchange interactions behind the nearest and next nearest neighbors k = J ₂/J ₁ in the range of k ∈ [0.0, 1.0] with the step Δk = 0.1. In the framework of the theory of finite-dimensional scaling the static critical indices of heat capacity α, susceptibility γ, of the order parameter β, correlation radius ν, and also the Fisher index η are calculated. It is shown that the universality class of the critical behavior of this model is kept in the interval of k ∈ [0.0, 0.6]. It is established that a nonuniversal critical behavior is observed in the range k ∈ [0.8, 1.0].
