Some New Features of Linear Theory for Describing Non-linear Diffusion

The non-linear flux equation, the non-linear Fokker-Planck equation （or Smoluchowski equation）, and the non-linear Langiven equation are the basic equations for describing particle diffusion in non-ideal system subjected to time-dependent external fields. Nevertheless, the exact solution of those equations is still a challenge because of their inherent complexity of the non-linear mathematics. Li et al. found that, based on the defined apparent variables, the nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation and the non-linear flux equation could be transformed to linear forms under the condition of strong friction limit or loeal equilibrium assumption. In this paper, some new features of the theory were found： （i） The linear flux equation for describing non-linear diffusion can be obtained from the irreversible thermodynamic theory; （ii） The linear non-steady state diffusion equation for describing non-linear diffusion of the non-steady state, which was described by the non-linear Fokker-Planek equation, can be derived more consistently from the microscopic molecular statistical theory; （iii） In the theory, the non-linear Langiven equation also bears a linear form; （iv） For some special cases, e.g. diffusion in a periodic total potential system, the local equilibrium assumption or the strong friction limit is not required in establishing the linear theory for describing non-linear diffusion, so the linear theory may be important in the study of Brown motor.

Grain Boundary Diffusion and Linear and Non-Linear Segregation of Ag in Cu

Ag grain boundary (GB) diffusion was measured in the Cu-0.2at%Ag alloy in a wide temperature range from 473 to 970 K. The direct measurements of Ag GB diffusivity D ^alloy _gb under conditions of the Harrison C regime revealed that D ^alloy _gb is almost identical to D ^pure _gb determined earlier for Ag diffusion in high-purity Cu (Divinski, Lohmann, and Herzig, 2001). The penetration profiles determined in the Harrison B regime showed a complex, multi-stage shape. This diffusion behavior can be rationalized assuming that besides GBs significantly covered by segregated Ag atoms, some fraction of GBs remains almost free from Ag atoms in the studied temperature interval. The total amount of pure GBs drastically decreases with decreasing temperature. This hypothesis was proven by measurements of Ag GB diffusion in Cu near 5 bicrystals, which allowed us to analyze in detail the non-linear segregation of Ag in Cu GBs.     

Green's Function Theory of Linear Magnetic Chains with Anisotropic Coupling

The one-dimensional spin-1/2 ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic chains with anisotropic coupling are studied within the Green's function theory in both planar and uniaxial regimes. The spin Green's functions are decoupled at a stage one-step further than the Tyablikov's decoupling under the constraint 2>= 0. The behaviors of the correlation functions are studied in the entire temperature regime. The thermodynamic properties are also discussed, and the result is consistent with the numerical simulation.

模耦合理论计算纳米粒子在聚合物熔体中的含时扩散系数与常规扩散常数 (cited: 2)

分析和计算了纳米粒子在聚合物熔体中的含时扩散系数与常规扩散常数. 采用广义朗之万方程描述扩散动力学,并通过模耦合理论计算摩擦记忆内核.为简单起见,只考虑了来自两体碰撞和溶剂密度涨落耦合作用两类微观因素对摩擦记忆内核的贡献. 采用聚合物参考作用点模型以及Percus-Yevick闭合条件计算了聚合物-纳米粒子复合溶液的平衡态结构信息函数;详尽分析了纳米粒子的尺寸与聚合物链的尺寸对扩散动力学的影响. 揭示了结构函数、摩擦记忆内核以及扩散系数等随着纳米粒子半径和聚合物链长的变化关系. 结果表明,对于小尺寸的纳米粒子或者短链的聚合物,短时间的非马尔可夫扩散 动力学特征比较显著,含时扩散系数需要更长的时间弛豫到常规扩散常数. 微观因素对扩散常数的贡献随着纳米粒子尺寸的增加而减小,却随着聚合物链长的增加而增大. 此外,模耦合理论得到的扩散常数与Stokes-Einstein关系的预测值进行比较,发现对于小尺寸的纳米粒子或者长链的聚合物,微观因素对扩散常数的的贡献占主导地位. 相反,当纳米粒子较大或者聚合物链长较短时,流体力学的贡献会发挥重要作用.     

Some Results on Sinai Diffusion

The diffusion of a particle in a one-dimensional random force field (Sinai diffusion) is studied using the replica method. This method, which maps the problem onto a quantum problem, is shown to be a simple and direct way to calculate the long-time diffusive behavior. Results for the distribution of the local Green's function, the particle distribution, and persistence are obtained.     

Thermodynamic Nonequilibrium Features in Binary Diffusion

Diffusion is a ubiquitous physical phenomenon where thermodynamic nonequilibrium effects(TNEs) are outstanding issues. In this work, we employ the discrete Boltzmann method to investigate the TNEs in the dynamic process of binary diffusion. The main features of the distribution function in velocity space are recovered and discussed.It is found that, with the decreasing gradients of macroscopic quantities(such as density, concentration, velocity, etc.),both the local and global TNEs decrease with the time but increase with the relaxation time in a power law, respectively.     

Exact Dimensional Reduction of Linear Dynamics: Application to Confined Diffusion

In their stochastic versions, dynamical systems take the form of the linear dynamics of a probability distribution. We show that exact dimensional reduction of such systems can be carried out, and is physically relevant when the dimensions to be eliminated can be identified with those that represent transient behavior, disappearing under typical coarse graining. Application is made to non-uniform quasi-low dimensional diffusion, resulting in a systematic extension of the “classical” Fick-Jacobs approximate reduction to an exact subdynamics.     

Linear Theory of Plasma-Filled Coaxial Cylindrical Cherenkov Maser

Injection of background plasma into the beam-wave interaction region can greatly enhance the beam-wave interaction efficiency and the microwave output power of the device. In this paper, a new type of plasma-filled slow-wave structure, i.e., plasma-filled, dielectric-loaded coaxial cylindrical waveguide with a dielectric ring enclosing tightly the inner conductor, is developed. The Cherenkov radiation excited by the beam-wave interaction in the slow-wave structure is examined by use of the self-consistent linear field theory. The dispersion equation and the synchronized condition of the beam-wave interaction are derived. It's clearly shown that the Cherenkov radiation excited by the beam-wave interaction results from the coupling between the slow electromagnetic wave, TM-modes, propagated along the slow-wave structure and the negative-energy space-charge wave propagated along the relativistic electron beam. And the wave growth rate is solved, and the beam-wave energy exchange in the presence of the background plasma is discussed. Finally, the effects of the background plasma density on the dispersion characteristics, the distribution of the longitudinal fluctuating electric field, the wave growth rate and the beam-wave energy exchange are calculated and discussed.
