Chiral dynamics of nuclear saturation

We apply the relativistic chiral Lagrangian to the nuclear equation of state. An effective chiral power expansion scheme, which is constructed to work around nuclear saturation density, is presented. The leading and subleading terms are evaluated and are shown to provide an excellent equation of state. Our saturation mechanism is found to probe in detail the underlying pion dynamics.     

Electrowetting with electrolytes

A theory of electrowetting is developed for systems containing an interface between two immiscible electrolytic solutions. Laws for the dependence of contact angle on electrode potential are presented. Ionic impermeability of the liquid-liquid interface and nonlinear double-layer responses rationalize observed phenomena such as contact-angle saturation and droplet contraction or detachment. The theoretical results can be applied to design new, precisely controllable microfluidic devices.     

Carrier dynamics and gain saturation in quantum-well lasers

A Monte Carlo technique has been developed to investigate the carrier dynamics and static gain saturation in graded-index separate confinement heterostructure quantumwell laser structures. The calculated electron relaxation times and gain compression coefficient show good agreement with published experiments.     

Electrowetting on ZnO nanowires

In this paper, we study the electrowetting character on ZnO nanowires. We grow the ZnO nanowires on indium tin oxide (ITO) by a hydrothermal method, and the ZnO nanowires surface is further hydrophobized by spin-coating Teflon. Such a prepared surface shows superhydrophobic properties with an initial contact angle 165°. When the applied external voltage between the ITO and the sessile droplet is less than 50 V, the contact angle continuously changed from 165° to 120°, and exhibits instant reversibility. For a slightly higher voltage, a mutation of the contact angle changing to 100° was observed and the contact angle was not reversible after removing the applied voltage, which indicates a transition from non-wetting state to wetting state. Further increasing of the applied voltage, the apparent contact angle decreased to an invariable value 70°, and electrical breakdown emerged synchronously.     

Double shock dynamics induced by the saturation of defocusing nonlinearities

We show that the saturation of defocusing nonlinearities leads to qualitative changes in the onset of wave breaking, determining double shock formation whose regularization occurs in terms of antidark solitons. In a given material, the crossover between different regimes can be controlled by changing the input intensity.     

Strangeness saturation: Dependence on system-size, centrality and energy

The dependence of the strangeness saturation factor on the system size, centrality and energy is studied in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.     

Chiral solitons in nuclei: saturation, EMC effect, and Drell-Yan experiments

The chiral quark-soliton model of the nucleon contains a mechanism for an attractive interaction between nucleons. This, along with the exchange of vector mesons between nucleons, is used to compute the saturation properties of infinite nuclear matter. This provides a new way to assess the effects of the nuclear medium on a nucleon that includes valence and sea quarks. We show that the model simultaneously describes the nuclear EMC effect and the related Drell-Yan experiments.

Unidirectional saturation spectroscopy,II

The general probe absorption coefficient derived in Part I is specialized to homogeneous- and inhomogeneous-broadening limits and illustrated as the dipole lifetime is increased from 0 to values comparable to the level lifetimes. This progression reveals the relation between pulsation dips of the short-dipole lifetime limit and the dynamic Stark effect in general. Interpretations of the coherent interactions involved are given in terms of modulator and Raman effects and of dressed atoms. The single-probe unidirectional pulsation dip is shown to be a special case of the grating dip in which the fringe spacing becomes infinite. Analogies with three-level systems are given in which both two and three-level cases are seen to obey an “equal-area theorem”, and to involve level crossing. Some comparison is made with corresponding spectroscopy in which spontaneous emission provides the probe radiation. Work performed as a Humboldt awardee in Germany.

Formation of a saturation wave front and dynamics of magma state characteristics in its zone

The influence of the diffusion zone width (parameter χ), which bounds the nucleation process in the nucleus neighborhood, on the dynamics of magma melt state at the initial stage of explosive eruption is numerically analyzed in the context of the Iordanskii-Kogarko-van Vijngaarden model of multiphase media. It is shown that in the region of 5 ÷ 50, the value of χ does not affect the time of forming the front of the zone of magma saturation with nuclei, but determines their maximum density, which decreases by three orders of magnitude, from 510¹⁰ to 810⁷ m⁻³, as the parameter χ grows by one order of magnitude. The most considerable losses of gas dissolved in magma are observed for χ = 5 and, consequently, as soon as 100 ms later after the beginning of decompression, there appear zones behind the wavefront, where the melt viscosity grows to hundreds of thousand Pa·s. Under the restriction of diffusion to bubbles, the decompression wave has a classical profile that is slightly perturbed by the front of saturation zone. However, in spite of the fact that the density of the number of nuclei in the cavitating magma upon removing the restriction of gas diffusion into bubbles remains the same as in the case of restriction, the effect of diffusion of additional mass of gas into bubbles changes radically the wavefield structure. Substantially increasing gas pressure in the bubbles due to diffusion with the melt viscosity growing by several orders of magnitude, which prevents bubble growth, changes appreciably the dynamics of the main characteristics of the cavitating magma state.     

QCD susceptibilities, nuclear saturation and two-pion processes

We discuss the in-medium behaviour of the QCD scalar susceptibility and of the sigma mass in a chiral relativistic theory which incorporates the scalar response of the nucleon. We also study the many-body effects in the propagation of the scalar meson in the nuclear medium arising from its coupling to two-pion states. The same modification applies to the QCD scalar susceptibility. We conclude with the nuclear physics implications for the in-medium scalar nucleon–nucleon attraction.     

On current-density algebras,gradient terms and saturation

The equal time limit of commutator matrix elements of conserved currents is rigorously calculated by means of structures which follow from general principles of relativistic quantum field theory and current conservation. We prove: (a) In general derivatives of δ-functions occur (gradient terms). — (b) The proper (non-gradient) part of the equal time limit is exactly given by the divergence-free causal one particle structures constructed from those intermediate one particle states which have the same main quantum numbers (mass, total spin and total isospin) as one of the external states (saturation by two one particles states!). — (c) All the other intermediate discrete one particle states drop out completely and the continuous many particle states contribute at most to gradient terms. — (d) The gradient terms emerging from the remaining two discrete intermediate one particle states can be removed without any restrictions on the form factors. — (e) From current algebras of conserved currents in the form proposed and used in the literature one cannot deduce any predictions for form factors beyond the algebraic conditions for coupling constants which already follow from the algebra of the charges.

Electronic model for VCSELs: Switching mode, control of threshold current and saturation

An electronic model of VCSELs based on the mathematical rate equations of Danckaert et al. [J. Danckaert, B. Nagler, J. Albert, K.K. Panajotov, I. Veretennicoff, T. Erneux, Opt. Commun. 201 (2002) 129] is built. The polarization switching (PS) phenomenon is generated. The PS phenomenon here is analyzed using two methods. In the first method, the behavior of the polarization modes is investigated in terms of the injection voltage parameter. A threshold voltage value and a switching value are obtained as prescribed by the theoretical model. In the second method, the ratio of the voltages (modes) outputs is plotted in terms of the voltage parameter. It is found that the ratio reaches a maximum at a critical value of the voltage parameter. Controlling the threshold current, it is found that it can be reduced voluntarily by the use of an external voltage supplier (denoted E₂). When E₂ increases, the threshold current decreases and the maximum reached by the polarization mode increases. When the control voltage is high and below a second critical value, the polarization modes saturate to the same value. But above this critical value, they saturate to opposite values.     

Quantum statistical dynamics: Statistics origin,measurement, and irreversibility

It is shown that in the quantum theory of systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom which employs a set of algebraic states, a statistical element introduced by averaging the mean values of operators over the distribution of continuous quantities (a spectrum point of a canonical operator and time) is conserved for the limiting transition to the distribution. On that basis, quantum statistical dynamics, i.e., a theory in which dynamics (time evolution) includes a statistical element, is advanced. The theory is equivalent to orthodox quantum mechanics as regards the orthodox states, but is essentially different with respect to the coherence properties in a continuous spectrum. The measurement-process theory, including the statistical interpretation of quantum mechanics, and the irreversibility theory are constructed, and the law of increasing chaos, which is a strengthening of the law of entropy increase, is obtained. In our theory, mechanics and statistics are organically connected, whereby the fundamental nature of probabilities in quantum physics manifests itself.     

Strong and weak nonlinear dynamics: Models, classification, examples

The difference between strong and weak nonlinear systems is discussed. A classification of strong nonlinearities is given. It is based on the divergence or inanity of series expansions of the equation of state commonly used in the study of weak nonlinear phenomena. Such power or functional series cannot be used in three cases: (i) if the equation of state contains a singularity; (ii) if the series diverges for strong disturbances; (iii) if the linear term is absent, and higher nonlinearity dominates. Strong nonlinearities are known in acoustics, optics, mechanics and in quantum field theory. Mathematical models, solutions and observed phenomena are presented. For example, an equation of Heisenberg type and its generalization for strongly nonlinear wave system are given. In particular, exact solutions of new “quadratically cubic” Burgers and Riemann-Hopf equations are discovered.     

Reweighted ensemble dynamics simulations:Theory,improvement,and application

Based on multiple parallel short molecular dynamics simulation trajectories,we designed the reweighted ensemble dynamics(RED) method to more efficiently sample complex(biopolymer) systems,and to explore their hierarchical metastable states.Here we further present an improvement to depress statistical errors of the RED and we discuss a few keys in practical application of the RED,provide schemes on selection of basis functions,and determination of the free parameter in the RED.We illustrate the application of the improvements in two toy models and in the solvated alanine dipeptide.The results show the RED enables us to capture the topology of multiple-state transition networks,to detect the diffusion-like dynamical behavior in an entropy-dominated system,and to identify solvent effects in the solvated peptides.The illustrations serve as general applications of the RED in more complex biopolymer systems.
