Interaction-driven real-space condensation

We study real-space condensation in a broad class of stochastic mass transport models. We show that the steady state of such models has a pair-factorized form which generalizes the standard factorized steady states. The condensation in this class of models is driven by interactions which give rise to a spatially extended condensate that differs fundamentally from the previously studied examples. We present numerical results as well as a theoretical analysis of the condensation transition and show that the criterion for condensation is related to the binding-unbinding transition of solid-on-solid interfaces.

荧光单分子实验结果表明温度能够促进DNA凝聚,随着温度升高,精胺(亚精胺)-DNA凝聚体系中DNA凝聚构象趋于更加紧致、有序。为探究温度对不同高价离子-DNA凝聚体系的影响,利用自行搭建的变温紫外分光光度计,通过系统研究荧光单分子实验中采用的精胺(亚精胺)-DNA凝聚体系及去离子水中DNA在260 nm处特征吸收值随温度变化情况,确定了DNA凝聚构象与其260 nm处特征吸收值之间的对应关系为：DNA凝聚构象越紧致、有序,其对应的260 nm处紫外吸收值越低。在此基础上,系统地研究了DNA凝聚实验中常用四种钴胺化合物-DNA凝聚体系随温度变化情况,结果表明三氯六胺合钴与精胺(亚精胺)类似,其对应的DNA凝聚体系在260 nm特征吸收值,随着温度升高而逐渐降低,即DNA凝聚构象趋于更加紧致、有序。而三(乙二胺)氯化钴、反式双(乙二胺)氯化钴、五胺氯化钴的情况却不同,与其对应的DNA凝聚体系在260 nm特征吸收值,随着温度升高,呈现先增加,再降低,然后再增加的规律。     

Model of filmwise vapor condensation on curved surfaces

A three-dimensional unsteady model of filmwise vapor condensation on a curved surface that takes into account the mass forces, the surface tension, and the friction on the surface of the condensate film is developed. This model generalizes the previous models of the filmwise vapor condensation. An evolution equation is derived for a condensate-layer thickness. Numerical algorithms are developed for solving the evolution equation. The condensation of ethanol vapor moving in a round tube is calculated.

纤维膜在膜蒸馏过程中的膜内毛细冷凝现象

膜蒸馏过程中的膜内冷凝现象是该技术在实际应用中不可忽视的一个重要问题。本文以疏水化改性处理的纤维膜作为研究对象,采用实验现象观察和理论分析并用的方法,研究了纤维膜在膜蒸馏过程发生膜内毛细管冷凝的影响因素包括膜蒸馏模块结构、蒸馏膜参数、热力学参数,探讨了毛细冷凝对膜蒸馏的影响。实验表明毛细冷凝可以在膜蒸馏过程中发生,但并不终止膜蒸馏过程,而是减小了传质系数。毛细冷凝容易发生在蒸馏膜厚度小、热料液温度高、冷却液温度低或气隙小的情况下。实验结果和理论分析表明,传质系数实验值的降低可作为膜孔内发生毛细冷凝的判定依据。通过简化蒸气在疏水多孔介质的传递过程,建立了膜蒸馏过程发生毛细冷凝时的传质平衡模型。     

Effect of Torsion on Cisplatin-Induced DNA Condensation

We investigate the effect of torsion on DNA condensation with the covalently closed circular DNA as the torsionconstrained system, using an atomic force microscope. It is found that there are two stages in the DNA condensation process under torsional constraint. At the early stage, the low torsion will accelerate DNA condensation by promoting the formation of micro-loops or intersection structures; while at the later stage, the increasing torsion will slow it down by preventing the crosslinking of cisplatin and DNA since the DNA molecule becomes more rigid. Our results show the important role of torsion in DNA condensation and sheds new light on the mechanism for DNA condensation.     

Difference in Bose-Einstein condensation of conserved and unconserved particles

The peculiarities in the Bose-Einstein condensation of particles and quasiparticles are discussed. The difference between the condensation of conserved and unconserved particles is analyzed. A classification of quasiparticles is given. The emphasis is made on the ability of particles and quasiparticles to condense. Illustrations include: general Bose-condensed atomic systems, such as ensembles of trapped atoms, Bose gases with conserved and unconserved number of atoms, vibrating atoms in double-well lattices, Holstein-Primakoff magnons, Schwinger bosons, slave bosons, and the condensation of singletons and triplons. The basic difference is that the system of particles, whose total number is conserved, can form equilibrium as well as nonequilibrium condensates, while unconserved particles can condense only in a nonequilibrium system subject to external pumping supporting the density of these particles sufficient for their condensation. The examples of such a nonequilibrium condensation of unconserved particles are the Bose-Einstein condensation of excitons, polaritons, and photons. Elementary collective excitations, such as bogolons and phonons, being self-consistently defined, do not condense. Magnons cannot condense in equilibrium systems. Controversies, existing in literature with regard to the Bose-Einstein condensation of some quasiparticles, are explained. Pushing a system out of equilibrium may favor the condensation of unconserved quasiparticles, but suppresses the condensate fraction of conserved particles.     

On the mechanism of carbon nanotube formation: II. The kinetics of explosive condensation of carbon molten drops in a metallic catalyst

The preliminary stage of the formation of carbon nanotubes by the vapor-liquid-drop mechanism is considered as applied to the condensation of drops from carbon and metal vapors. The problem of the condensation of molten drops is solved for a wide concentration range for both vapors at a condensation temperature. It is shown that, at very high concentrations of the metal vapor (10¹⁸–10¹⁹ cm⁻³) and high temperatures (about 0.3 eV), peculiar heterogeneous condensation of the drops can occur at huge supersaturation of the carbon vapor and the saturated metal vapor. This problem of the condensation of the binary vapor is of methodical interest. This condensation is shown to be unrealizable in real experiment at the parameters of the carbon and metal vapors; it virtually merges with the homogeneous condensation of the metal vapor. The maximum concentration of the carbon vapor below which carbon condenses into drops and above which carbon condenses into amorphous soot particles is calculated. The calculation makes it possible to propose a new approach to the controlled growth of carbon nanotubes.

The Boltzmann Equation for Bose-Einstein Particles: Condensation in Finite Time

The paper considers the problem of the Bose-Einstein condensation in finite time for isotropic distributional solutions of the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation for Bose-Einstein particles with the hard sphere model. We prove that if the initial datum of a solution is a function which is singular enough near the origin (the zero-point of particle energy) but still Lebesgue integrable (so that there is no condensation at the initial time), then the condensation continuously starts to occur from the initial time to every later time. The proof is based on a convex positivity of the cubic collision integral and some properties of a certain Lebesgue derivatives of distributional solutions at the origin. As applications we also study a special type of solutions and present a relation between the conservation of mass and the condensation.     

Role of tension and twist in single-molecule DNA condensation

Using magnetic tweezers, we study in real time the condensation of single DNA molecules under tension. We find that DNA condensation occurs via discrete nucleated events. By measuring the influence of an imposed twist, we show that condensation is initiated by the formation of a plectonemic supercoil. This demonstrates a strong interplay between the condensation transition and externally imposed mechanical constraints.     

Water condensation kinetics on a hydrophobic surface

Employing thermal desorption spectroscopy, we show that the effective probability of water condensation at low water vapor pressure on an octane film is much below unity at 100-120 K. This unusual finding is related to a small binding energy of H2O monomers on octane (approximately equal to 0.08 eV), requiring the formation of critical water clusters for condensation to occur. This results in strong temperature and impingement-rate dependencies of the water condensation rate and a nonlinear uptake as a function of dose time. All these features are rationalized quantitatively by a kinetic model of water condensation.     

Condensation in the Inclusion Process and Related Models

We study condensation in several particle systems related to the inclusion process. For an asymmetric one-dimensional version with closed boundary conditions and drift to the right, we show that all but a finite number of particles condense on the right-most site. This is extended to a general result for independent random variables with different tails, where condensation occurs for the index (site) with the heaviest tail, generalizing also previous results for zero-range processes. For inclusion processes with homogeneous stationary measures we establish condensation in the limit of vanishing diffusion strength in the dynamics, and give several details about how the limit is approached for finite and infinite systems. Finally, we consider a continuous model dual to the inclusion process, the so-called Brownian energy process, and prove similar condensation results.     

一类检测DNA凝聚过程中“铰链结构”的氟化物探针

Bloomfield很早指出,在DNA凝聚过程中,急剧弯折会导致DNA分子中出现“铰链(kink)”结构,但未见实验证实。基于紫外可见分光光度法,分别在精胺、亚精胺与DNA凝聚体系中加入氟化物以及氯化物,发现二者虽同为卤族,但对精胺-DNA凝聚体系的效应不同。氟离子使精胺-DNA凝聚体系中出现了“蓝移增色”现象,氯离子仅使该体系出现微弱的增色效应, 而二者对亚精胺-DNA凝聚体系的效应基本相同,均出现微弱增色效应。基于氟离子特殊性质,设计一种能够有效探测DNA凝聚过程中“铰链(kink)”结构氟化物探针,而且证实,第二类“铰链(kink)”结构出现在精胺-DNA凝聚体系中。     

CONDENSATION HEAT TRANSFER OF STEAM ON VERTICAL DROPWISE AND FILMWISE COEXISTING SURFACES WITH A THICK ORGANIC FILM PROMOTING DROPWISE MODE

This article describes an experimental investigation of the condensation heat transfer of steam on dropwise and filmwise coexisting (DFC) surfaces, on which dropwise and filmwise exist simultaneously at adjacent positions. A fluor-containing organic film with thickness of more than 1 μm was coated on the dropwise regions of the external surface of a brass tube to promote dropwise condensation. The surfaces were divided horizontally into many regions according to the designed dropwise and filmwise condensation area ratio. The area ratio of dropwise regions and filmwise regions in the present study was fixed at 50%:50% for all the six surfaces, while the numbers of dropwise and filmwise regions ranged from 2 to 16. Experiments were conducted at atmospheric pressure and the treated tube was oriented vertically in the condensing chamber. It was found that the heat transfer performance for DFC surfaces increases with increasing number of dropwise and filmwise regions, and an enhancement ratio of 1.27 to 1.96 is realized compared with the results for bare surface. Visual observation revealed that the appearance of condensation near the boundary region between the dropwise and filmwise regions was dependent on the relative positions of the two condensation regions. The condensate flowed smoothly across the boundary for dropwise condensation in the upper region. With filmwise condensation in the upper region, a condensate ring was formed at the interface and was retained at the interface for a short period of time before collapsing and then continued to flow downward through the dropwise condensation region. The condensate ring made a remarkable contribution to the condensation heat transfer enhancement for DFC surfaces. Finally, the results also showed that the heat transfer enhancement for dropwise and filmwise coexisting surfaces depends not only on the area ratio on DFC surfaces, but also on the surface subcooling degree. An optimal coordinating condition between these two factors might realize a maximum heat transfer enhancement ratio.     

Phase transitions in a system of coupled Boson oscillators on a sphere

The solutions of mean-field equations for a system of coupled Boson oscillators on an infinite k-dimensional sphere are discussed in the low density - high temperature region and high density — low temperature region. It is shown that for k = 2 the system exhibits only spatial condensation, whereas for k ⩾ 3 both spatial condensation and Bose-Einstein condensation.     

Physics of <Emphasis Type="Italic">π</Emphasis>-meson condensation and high temperature cuprate superconductors

The idea of condensation of the Goldstone π-meson field in nuclear matter had been put forward a long time ago. However, it was established that the normal nuclear density is too low, it is not sufficient to condensate π mesons. This is why the π condensation has never been observed. Recent experimental and theoretical studies of high-temperature cuprate superconductors have revealed condensation of Goldstone magnons, the effect fully analogous to the π condensation. The magnon condensation has been observed. It is clear now that quantum fluctuations play a crucial role in the condensation, in particular they drive a quantum phase transition that destroys the condensate at some density of fermions.

Polariton condensation in photonic molecules

We report on polariton condensation in photonic molecules formed by two coupled micropillars. We show that the condensation process is strongly affected by the interaction with the cloud of uncondensed excitons and thus strongly depends on the exact localization of these excitons within the molecule. Under symmetric excitation conditions, condensation is triggered on both binding and antibinding polariton states of the molecule. On the opposite, when the excitonic cloud is injected in one of the two pillars, condensation on a metastable state is observed and a total transfer of the condensate into one of the micropillars can be achieved. Our results highlight the crucial role played by relaxation kinetics in the condensation process.
