Magnetic properties of <Superscript>3</Superscript>He on the recursive lattices

We considered the Heisenberg model on the recursive lattices with multi-spin interaction in a strong magnetic field as an approximation of the two-dimensional kagome lattice, as well as hexagonal recursive lattices as an approximation of triangular lattice, for solid ³He. In a strong magnetic field it is possible to approximate the Heisenberg model with the Izing one. Using dynamic approach, we obtain exact recursion relations for partition functions. Diagrams of the magnetization versus external magnetic field with different spin-exchange parameters and temperatures are presented. Magnetization plateaux, bifurcation points, and doublings are obtained.     

Bifurcation analysis of the sixteen-vertex model

We shall construct a hierarchy of subclasses of the 16-vertex model having qualitatively different symmetry properties. We determine the bifurcation points in the parameter space of the model where new symmetry elements are added to the invariance group of the partition function. In this paper we restrict ourselves to the study of site-dependent transformations converting a homogeneous 16-vertex model into a different homogeneous model. Apart from a trivial transformation, resulting in a change of sign of all vertex weights, such site-dependent transformations exist only for those points in parameter space where particular relations are satisfied. The solution of these relations gives rise to three 6-parameter families of models, two of which are equivalent to the general 8-vertex model, and two families of 4-parameter models. The primary bifurcation models depending on six parameters contain three different types of secondary bifurcation models, depending on 4 parameters, one of which is equivalent to Baxter's symmetric 8-vertex model.     

Capture into rydberg states and momentum distributions of ionized electrons

The yield of neutral excited atoms and low-energy photoelectrons generated by the electron dynamics in the combined Coulomb and laser field after tunneling is investigated. We present results of Monte-Carlo simulations built on the two-step semiclassical model, as well as analytic estimates and scaling relations for the population trapping into the Rydberg states. It is shown that mainly those electrons are captured into bound states of the neutral atom that due to their initial conditions (i) have moderate drift momentum imparted by the laser field and (ii) avoid strong interaction (“hard” collision) with the ion. In addition, it is demonstrated that the channel of capture, when accounted for in semiclassical calculations, has a pronounced effect on the momentum distribution of electrons with small positive energy. For the parameters that we investigated its presence leads to a dip at zero momentum in the longitudinal momentum distribution of the ionized electrons.     

Entropy,non—classical property of the trapped ion system driven by running—wave lasers

We study the dynamical behaviour of the ionic inversion in a trapped ion system in running-wave lasers,and we discuss the properties of entanglement between the ion and phonons and the statistics of the vibrational phonon field.It is shown that the appearance of the super-revivals of the ion inversion is dependent on the initial parameters of the vibrational phonon field.The Schredinger cat and sub-Poissonican statistics of the phonon field can be also exhibited in this system for suitable initial values.     

A Conservative,Entropic Multispecies BGK Model

We derive a conservative multispecies BGK model that follows the spirit of the original, single species BGK model by making the specific choice to conserve species masses, total momentum, and total kinetic energy and to satisfy Boltzmann’s \(\mathcal {H}\)-Theorem. The derivation emphasizes the connection to the Boltzmann operator which allows for direct inclusion of information from higher-fidelity collision physics models. We also develop a complete hydrodynamic closure via the Chapman-Enskog expansion, including a general procedure to generate symmetric diffusion coefficients based on this model. We numerically investigate velocity and temperature relaxation in dense plasmas and compare the model with previous multispecies BGK models and discuss the trade-offs that are made in defining and using them. In particular, we demonstrate that the BGK model in the NRL plasma formulary does not conserve momentum or energy in general.     

Symmetry and symmetry breaking in generalized parastatistics

An analysis is made of the characteristics of internal symmetry and symmetry breaking in a quantum field theory with generalized parastatistics, defined by either double commutation relations or single commutation relations. The connection between the two statistics is clarified. We develop a formalism in which statistics is viewed as a dynamical or phase variable of quantum systems. It is shown that the types of Higgs phases possible depend upon statistics. Relationships between physical amplitudes implied by internal symmetry with normal statistics are violated in the case of generalized parastatistics.     

Aharanov-Bohm interference and fractional statistics in a quantum Hall interferometer

We compute the temperature, voltage, and magnetic field dependences of the conductance oscillations of a model interferometer designed to measure the fractional statistics of the quasiparticles in the fractional quantum Hall effect. The geometry is the same as that used in recent experiments. With appropriate assumptions concerning the relative areas of the inner and outer rings of the interferometer, we find the theoretical results, including the existence of super periodic Aharonov-Bohm oscillations, to be in remarkably good agreement with experiment. We then make additional experimental predictions with no adjustable parameters which, if verified, would confirm the proposed interpretation of the experiment as a measurement of fractional statistics.     

Connectivity degrees in the threshold preferential attachment model

In this paper we present a study of the connectivity degrees of the threshold preferential attachment model, a generalization of the Barabási-Albert model to heterogeneous complex networks. The threshold model incorporates the states of the nodes in its preferential linking rule and assumes that the affinity between network nodes follows an inverse relationship with the distance between their states. We numerically analyze the connectivity degrees of the model, studying the influence of the main parameters on the distribution of connectivity degrees and its statistics, the average degree and highest degree of the network. We show that such statistics exhibit markedly different behaviors in the dependence on the model parameters, particularly as regards the interaction threshold. Nevertheless, we show that the two statistics converge in the limit of null threshold and often exhibit scaling that can be described by power laws of the model parameters.     

Intersubband optical absorption in InSb stepped quantum wells: Effect of spin sublevels crossing

We study linear and non-linear coefficients of the intersubband absorption in InSb-based stepped quantum wells subjected to an in-plane magnetic field. We consider also a transverse electric field to achieve near resonance conditions. Taking into account the two deepest conduction levels and their corresponding Zeeman spin splitting sublevels, we calculate dispersion relations by means of an improved version of Kane model. Besides the known anti-crossing between down and up spin split sublevels, we obtain an extra spin level crossing for some determined parameters. This crossing clearly modifies the absorption spectrum for transitions among the four sublevels considered. We study a low electron density case, when only the first deepest sublevel is occupied, and a high density case with only the highest sublevel empty. We find a similar behavior of the absorption spectrum in both cases.

Effect of Ergodic and Non-Ergodic Fluctuations on a Charge Diffusing in a Stochastic Magnetic Field

In this paper, we study the basic problem of a charged particle in a stochastic magnetic field. We consider dichotomous fluctuations of the magnetic field where the sojourn time in one of the two states are distributed according to a given waiting-time distribution either with Poisson or non-Poisson statistics, including as well the case of distributions with diverging mean time between changes of the field, corresponding to an ergodicity breaking condition. We provide analytical and numerical results for all cases evaluating the average and the second moment of the position and velocity of the particle. We show that the field fluctuations induce diffusion of the charge with either normal or anomalous properties, depending on the statistics of the fluctuations, with distinct regimes from those observed, e.g., in standard Continuous-Time Random Walk models.     

The field theory approach to percolation processes

We review the field theory approach to percolation processes. Specifically, we focus on the so-called simple and general epidemic processes that display continuous non-equilibrium active to absorbing state phase transitions whose asymptotic features are governed, respectively, by the directed (DP) and dynamic isotropic percolation (dIP) universality classes. We discuss the construction of a field theory representation for these Markovian stochastic processes based on fundamental phenomenological considerations, as well as from a specific microscopic reaction-diffusion model realization. Subsequently we explain how dynamic renormalization group (RG) methods can be applied to obtain the universal properties near the critical point in an expansion about the upper critical dimensions d_c = 4 (DP) and 6 (dIP). We provide a detailed overview of results for critical exponents, scaling functions, crossover phenomena, finite-size scaling, and also briefly comment on the influence of long-range spreading, the presence of a boundary, multispecies generalizations, coupling of the order parameter to other conserved modes, and quenched disorder.     

The extended Hubbard model in the ionic limit

In this paper, we study the Hubbard model with intersite Coulomb interaction in the ionic limit (i.e. no kinetic energy). It is shown that this model is isomorphic to the spin-1 Ising model in presence of a crystal field and an external magnetic field. We show that for such models it is possible to find, for any dimension, a finite complete set of eigenoperators and eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian. Then, the hierarchy of the equations of motion closes and analytical expressions for the relevant Green's functions and correlation functions can be obtained. These expressions are formal because these functions depend on a finite set of unknown parameters, and only a set of exact relations among the correlation functions can be derived. In the one-dimensional case we show that by means of algebraic constraints it is possible to obtain extra equations which close the set and allow us to obtain a complete exact solution of the model. The behavior of the relevant physical properties for the 1D system is reported.     

A Lagrangian stochastic model for tetrad dispersion

We present results for tetrad (four-particle) dispersion in homogeneous isotropic turbulence by means of a simple Lagrangian stochastic model with a focus on the inertial subrange. We show that for appropriate values of C ₀, the constant of proportionality in the second-order Lagrangian velocity structure function, the shape statistics agree well with equivalent results from a direct numerical simulation (DNS) of turbulence. Moreover, we show that the shape statistics are independent of C ₀ for a wide range of C ₀-values. We also show that the parameters which characterise the shape of the tetrads can be approximately related to appropriate ratios of the growth rates of the mean square separation, the mean square area and the mean square volume of the tetrads. By means of exit times, we are able to estimate the equivalent values for the DNS data. We also consider the statistics of four-point velocity differences (via a diffusion tensor) which agree well with the DNS. We show that the nature of the velocity field experienced by the tetrad varies significantly with C ₀.     

Multiplicity of species in some replicative systems

In an attempt to explain the uniqueness of the coding mechanism of living cells as contrasted with the multispecies structure of ecosystems we examine two models of individuals with some replicative properties. In the first model the system generically remains in a multispecies state. Even though for some of these species the replicative probability is very high, they are unable to invade the system. In the second model, in which the death rate depends on the type of the species, the system relatively quickly reaches a single-species state and fluctuations might at most bring it to yet another single-species state.     

Quantum multimode model of elastic scattering from Bose-Einstein condensates

Mean field approximation treats only coherent aspects of the evolution of a Bose-Einstein condensate. However, in many experiments some atoms scatter out of the condensate. We study a semianalytic model of two counterpropagating atomic Gaussian wave packets incorporating the dynamics of incoherent scattering processes. Within the model we can treat processes of the elastic collision of atoms into the initially empty modes, and observe how, with growing occupation, the bosonic enhancement is slowly kicking in. A condition for the bosonic enhancement effect is found in terms of relevant parameters. Scattered atoms form a squeezed state. Not only are we able to calculate the dynamics of mode occupation, but also the full statistics of scattered atoms.     

Metastability in the Hamiltonian mean field model and Kuramoto model

We briefly discuss the state of the art on the anomalous dynamics of the Hamiltonian mean field (HMF) model. We stress the important role of the initial conditions for understanding the microscopic nature of the intriguing metastable quasi-stationary states (QSS) observed in the model and the connections to Tsallis statistics and glassy dynamics. We also present new results on the existence of metastable states in the Kuramoto model and discuss the similarities with those found in the HMF model. The existence of metastability seems to be quite a common phenomenon in fully coupled systems, whose origin could be also interpreted as a dynamical mechanism preventing or hindering synchronization.     

O (n ) tricriticality in two dimensions

We present exact results for several universal parameters of the tricritical O (n) model in two dimensions. The results apply to the range -2"dn"d3/2, and include the central charge and three scaling dimensions, associated with temperature, magnetic field and the introduction of an interface. Since these results are based on an extrapolation of known relations between the O (n) and the Potts model, they cannot be considered as rigorous. For this reason, we perform an accurate numerical analysis of the central charge and the critical exponents. This analysis, which is based on transfer-matrix calculations on the honeycomb lattice, is in a full and precise agreement with the theoretical predictions.     

Impedance approach to designing efficient vibration energy absorbers

The concept introduced previously by the authors on the best sound absorber having the maximum allowable efficiency in absorbing the energy of an incident sound field has been extended to arbitrary linear elastic media and structures. Analytic relations have been found for the input impedance characteristics that the best vibrational energy absorber should have. The implementation of these relations is the basis of the proposed impedance method of designing efficient vibration and noise absorbers. We present the results of a laboratory experiment that confirms the validity of the obtained theoretical relations, and we construct the simplest best vibration absorber. We also calculate the parameters and demonstrate the efficiency of a dynamic vibration absorber as the best absorber.
