多体相互作用体系中的弛豫与扩散:一个尚未解决的问题

文章目的在于引起国内研究团体对一系列复杂相互作用体系中的弛豫和扩散的普适性进行关注.研究发现,无论是不同的化学结构（如无机物、有机物、聚合物、生物分子、胶体、金属和离子导电材料）,还是不同的物理状态（如晶态、玻璃态、液体、熔体、混合体系和含水系统）,以及不同的尺度（如从块体至纳米）,这种普适性无处不在 ［K.L.Ngai.Relaxation and Diffusion in Complex Systems.New York:Springer,2011］.该现象起源于多体系统的不可逆过程,取决于一些基本物理定律,与非简谐势引发的经典混沌有关.重新认识这种普适性不仅对众多不同领域的发展有利,而且能进一步弄清楚多体系统中的弛豫与扩散问题—— 一个重要而又未解决的物理问题.作者提出的耦合模型尽管不是一个严格而完整的答案,但却能够预测多体系统的弛豫和扩散特征,而且与实验结果吻合.基于该模型,绝大多数多体系统中的弛豫与扩散行为是相似的.该模型有望为这一难题的彻底解决奠定基石.

Universal Long-Time Relaxation on Lattices of Classical Spins: Markovian Behavior on Non-Markovian Timescales

The long-time behavior of certain fast-decaying infinite temperature correlation functions on one-, two-, and three-dimensional lattices of classical spins with various kinds of nearest-neighbor interactions is studied numerically, and evidence is presented that the functional form of this behavior is either simple exponential or exponential multiplied by cosine. Due to the fast characteristic timescale of the long-time decay, such a universality cannot be explained on the basis of conventional Markovian assumptions. It is suggested that this behavior is related to the chaotic properties of the spin dynamics.     

Interfacial diffusion relaxation of internal stresses in solids

The relaxation of internal stresses due to interfacial diffusion in a two-phase solid is studied theoretically with the help of the onsageristic approach of irreversible thermodynamics. In this note we derive an expression for the rate at which internal stresses associated with misfit caused by bonding a flat surface of one material to a rough surface of another. The two phases are treated as isotropic clastic substances. It is assumed that the components of only of the solids are capable of leaving their positions of migrating along the interface. The driving force for this process is minimization of total energy-clastic plus interfacial energy. We show that the time constant for relaxing these stresses is proportional to the cube of the wavelength of the roughness.     

Order and chaos in soft condensed matter

Soft matter, like colloidal suspensions and surfactant gels, exhibit strong response to modest external perturbations. This paper reviews our recent experiments on the nonlinear flow behaviour of surfactant worm-like micellar gels. A rich dynamic behaviour exhibiting regular, quasi-periodic, intermittency and chaos is observed. In particular, we have shown experimentally that the route to chaos is via Type-II intermittency in shear thinning worm-like micellar solution of cetyltrimethylammonium tosylate where the strength of flow-concentration coupling is tuned by the addition of sodium chloride. A Poincaré first return map of the time series and the probability distribution of laminar length between burst events show that our data are consistent with Type-II intermittency. The existence of a ‘Butterfly’ intensity pattern in small angle light scattering (SALS) measurements performed simultaneously with the rheological measurements confirms the coupling of flow to concentration fluctuations in the system under study. The scattered depolarised intensity in SALS, sensitive to orientational order fluctuations, shows the same time-dependence (like intermittency) as that of shear stress.     

Unified analysis of diffusion and relaxation processes in amorphous metallic alloys

Abstract

Self-diffusion data on amorphous metallic alloys determined in long-time radio-tracer experiments and activation-enthalpy spectra deduced from short-time structural relaxation studies on such materials are reviewed and analyzed in terms of current random transition rate models. It is shown that the seeming discrepancy between the self-diffusion enthalpies and the comparatively small enthalpies obtained from measurements of the magnetic after-effect arises from the existence of activation-enthalpy spectra. Whereas the short-time experiments reveal the small-activation-enthalpy parts of these spectra, the long-time self-diffusion experiments are controlled by the larger activation enthalpies. Assuming that the activation-enthalpy distributions are Gaussian, their characteristic parameters have been determined by comparing the two types of measurements. It is shown that the Arrhenius-type diffusion coefficients found by experiment are compatible with half-widths of the activation-enthalpy spectra of about 0.3 eV. Based on an analysis of the pre-exponential factors and other typical properties of the diffusion coefficients, potential mechanisms of the diffusion in amorphous alloys are proposed.     

Quasi-elastic neutron scattering study of dynamics in condensed matter

Quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) technique, known to study stochastic motions has been successfully used to elucidate the molecular motions and physical properties related to them, in a variety of systems. QENS is a unique technique that provides information on the time-scale of the motion as well as the geometry of the motions. In this paper, results of some of the systems studied using the facility available at Dhruva, Trombay and other mega-facilities are discussed. Emphasis is given on the results obtained from three different systems studied using QENS, namely, (1) alkyl chain motions in monolayer protected metal clusters, (2) molecular motions of propane in Na-Y zeolitic systems and (3) the study of reorientational motions of liquid crystal innO.m series in different mesophases.

1H relaxation and dynamics of triphenylbismuth in deuterated solvents

ABSTRACT

¹H spin–lattice relaxation experiments have been performed for triphenylbismuth dissolved in fully deuterated glycerol and tetrahydrofuran. The experiments have been carried out in a broad frequency range, from 10?kHz to 40?MHz, versus temperature. The data have been analysed in terms of a relaxation model including two relaxation pathways: ¹H-¹H dipole–dipole interactions between intrinsic protons of triphenylbismuth molecule and ¹H-²H dipole–dipole interactions between the solvent and solute molecules. As a result of the analysis, rotational correlation times of triphenylbismuth molecules in the solutions and relative translational diffusion coefficient between the solvent and solute molecules have been determined. Moreover, the role of the intramolecular ¹H-¹H relaxation contribution has been revealed, depending on the motional parameters, as a result of decomposing the overall relaxation dispersion profile into contributions associated with the ¹H-¹H and ¹H-²H relaxation pathways. The possibility of accessing the contribution of the relaxation of the intrinsic protons is important from the perspective of exploiting Quadrupole Relaxation Enhancement effects as possible contrast mechanisms for Magnetic Resonance Imaging.     

Effects of barrier fluctuation on the tunneling dynamics in the presence of classical chaos in a mixed quantum-classical system

We present a numerical investigation of the tunneling dynamics of a particle moving in a bistable potential with fluctuating barrier which is coupled to a non-integrable classical system and study the interplay between classical chaos and barrier fluctuation in the tunneling dynamics. We found that the coupling of the quantum system with the classical subsystem decreases the tunneling rate irrespective of whether the classical subsystem is regular or chaotic and also irrespective of the fact that whether the barrier fluctuates or not. Presence of classical chaos always enhances the tunneling rate constant. The effect of barrier fluctuation on the tunneling rate in a mixed quantum-classical system is to suppress the tunneling rate. In contrast to the case of regular subsystem, the suppression arising due to barrier fluctuation is more visible when the subsystem is chaotic.      

A model for the pressure dependence of diffusion in condensed matter

In the present paper, a model has been used to develop a simple relation to study the pressure dependence of self-diffusion in solids and liquids that has two adjustable parameters. The computation done in each substance is found to be in very good agreement with the experimental data. It is interesting to note that the present relation is also capable of giving the activation volume in solids and liquids. The activation volume computed in the solids is found to be in very good agreement with the data available.

Effect of oxygen diffusion on the relaxation parameters of paramagnetic centers on the surface of alumina

The present article is concerned with theoretical consideration of the effect of oxygen diffusion on the relaxation parameters of paramagnetic centers (PC) located on a surface. Proceeding from a model of dipole-dipole interaction between paramagnetic molecules of O₂ and PC that is modulated by translational diffusion motion of O₂ molecules in the volume and on surface of an adsorbent and in its pores, we give an explanation for the observed dependence of the intensity of the EPR signal on the pressure of O₂. In the present case, diffusion in the volume is the decisive factor. We also managed to explain the presence of an SHF field power threshold for the indicated phenomenon to be observed. In the calculations we used correlation functions obtained earlier for diffusion in a volume.

Diffusion and relaxation effects in general stray field NMR experiments

We analyze the evolution of magnetization following any series of radiofrequency pulses in strongly inhomogeneous fields, with particular attention to diffusion and relaxation effects. When the inhomogeneity of the static magnetic field approaches or exceeds the strength of the RF field, the magnetization has contributions from different coherence pathways. The diffusion or relaxation induced decay of the signal amplitude is in general nonexponential, even if the sample has single relaxation times T(1), T(2) and a single diffusion coefficient D. In addition, the shape of the echo depends on diffusion and relaxation. It is possible to separate contributions from different coherence pathways by phase cycling of the RF pulses. The general analysis is tested on stray field measurements using two different pulse sequences. We find excellent agreement between measurements and calculations. The inversion recovery sequence is used to study the relaxation effects. We demonstrate two different approaches of data analysis to extract the relaxation time T(1). Finite pulse width effects on the timing of the echo formation are also studied. Diffusion effects are analyzed using the Carr--Purcell--Meiboom--Gill sequence. In a stray field of a constant gradient g, we find that unrestricted diffusion leads to nonexponential signal decay versus echo number N, but within experimental error the diffusion attenuation is still only a function of g(2)Dt(3)(E)N, where t(E) is the echo spacing.     

Direct spin–phonon coupling of spin-flip relaxation in quantum dots

Within the frame of the Pavlov–Firsov spin–phonon coupling model, we study the spin-flip assisted by the acoustical phonon scattering between the first-excited state and the ground state in quantum dots. We analyze the behaviors of the spin relaxation rates as a function of an external magnetic field and lateral radius of quantum dot. The different trends of the relaxation rates depending on the magnetic field and lateral radius are obtained, which may serve as a channel to distinguish the relaxation processes and thus control the spin state effectively.
