Exact results for two-dimensional coarsening

We consider the statistics of the areas enclosed by domain boundaries (‘hulls’) during the curvature-driven coarsening dynamics of a two-dimensional nonconserved scalar field from a disordered initial state. We show that the number of hulls per unit area, n _h (A, t)dA, with enclosed area in the range (A,A + dA), is described, for large time t, by the scaling form n _h (A, t) = 2c _h /(A + λ _h t)², demonstrating the validity of dynamical scaling in this system. Here $ c_h = {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 8}} \right. \kern-0em} 8}\pi \sqrt 3 $ is a universal constant associated with the enclosed area distribution of percolation hulls at the percolation threshold, and λ _h is a material parameter. The distribution of domain areas, n _d (A, t), is apparently very similar to that of hull areas up to very large values of A/λ _h t. Identical forms are obtained for coarsening from a critical initial state, but with c _h replaced by c _h /2. The similarity of the two distributions (of areas enclosed by hulls, and of domain areas) is accounted for by the smallness of c _h . By applying a ‘mean-field’ type of approximation we obtain the form n _d (A, t) ? 2c _d [λ _d (t+t ₀)] ^τ?2/[A+λ _d (t+t ₀)] ^τ , where t ₀ is a microscopic timescale and τ = 187/91 ? 2.055, for a disordered initial state, and a similar result for a critical initial state but with c _d → c _d /2 and τ → τ _c = 379/187 ? 2.027. We also find that c _d = c _h + O(c _h ² ) and λ _d = λ _h (1 + O(c _h )). These predictions are checked by extensive numerical simulations and found to be in good agreement with the data.     

Diffusion Effects on the Breakdown of a Linear Amplifier Model Driven by the Square of a Gaussian Field

We investigate solutions to the equation ? _t ?? $\mathcal{D}$ Δ?=λS ²?, where S(x, t) is a Gaussian stochastic field with covariance C(x?x′, t, t′), and x∈ $\mathbb{R}$ ^d . It is shown that the coupling λ _cN (t) at which the N-th moment <? ^N (x, t)> diverges at time t, is always less or equal for $\mathcal{D}$ >0 than for $\mathcal{D}$ =0. Equality holds under some reasonable assumptions on C and, in this case, λ _cN (t)=Nλ _c (t) where λ _c (t) is the value of λ at which <exp[λ ∫ ^t ₀ S ²(0, s) ds]> diverges. The $\mathcal{D}$ =0 case is solved for a class of S. The dependence of λ _cN (t) on d is analyzed. Similar behavior is conjectured when diffusion is replaced by diffraction, $\mathcal{D}$ →i $\mathcal{D}$ , the case of interest for backscattering instabilities in laser-plasma interaction.     

Monte Carlo simulation of film growth in a phase separating binary alloy model

Using a kinetic Monte Carlo method, we simulate binary film (A_0.5B_0.5/A) growth on an L×L square lattice with the focus on the domain growth behaviour. We compute the average domain area, A(t), as a measure of domain size. For a sufficiently large system, we find that A(t) grows with a power law in time with A(t)∼t^2/3 after the initial transient time. This implies that the dynamic exponent for domain growth with non-conserved order parameter is z=3, a value which was theoretically predicted for the conserved order parameter case. Further analysis reveals that such a power-law behaviour emerges because the order parameter is approximately conserved after the early stage of growth.     

On the cosmological equations in the presence of a spatially homogeneous torsion field

It is shown that Einstein's equations obtained from the Friedmann Ansatz for the metric and an arbitrary cosmological term can be consistently extended on include a spatiall]y homogeneous contorsion field K_abc = ϵ _abc K(t), K(t) = η/R(t); η an arbitrary constant. This mechanism which guarantees covariant conservation of the Einstein tensor, amounts to replacing the arbitrary constant. This mechanism which guarantees covariant conservation of the Einstein tensor, amounts to replacing the signature parameter ϵ = ( +1: spherical space, 0: flat space, −1: hyperbolic space) by ϵ₁ = ϵ − η².     

Coupling constant thresholds in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. I. Short-range two-body case

Consider ?Δ + λV with V short range at a value λ₀ where some eigenvalue e(λ) → 0 as λ ↓ λ₀. We analyze two questions: (i) What is the leading order of e(λ), i.e., for what α does e(λ) ～ c(λ ? λ₀)^α? (ii) Is e(λ) analytic at λ = λ₀ and, if not, what is the natural expansion parameter? The results are highly dimension dependent.     

Spatial-temporal dispersion of the kinetic coefficients near the Anderson transition

A generalization of the Vollhardt-Wölfle localization theory is proposed to make it possible to study the spatial-temporal dispersion of the kinetic coefficients of a d-dimensional disordered system in the low-frequency, long-wavelength range (ω?_F and q?k _F ). It is shown that the critical behavior of the generalized diffusion coefficient D(q,ω) near the Anderson transition agrees with the general Berezinskii-Gor’kov localization criterion. More precisely, on the metallic side of the transition the static diffusion coefficient D(q,0) vanishes at a mobility threshold λ _c common for all q: D(q, 0)∝t=(λ _c ?λ)/λ _c →0, where λ=1/(2π?_F τ) is a dimensionless coupling constant. On the insulator side, q≠0 D(q,ω)∝?iω as ω→0 for all finite q. Within these limits, the scale of the spatial dispersion of D(q,ω) decreases in proportion to t in the metallic phase and in proportion to ωξ ², where ξ is the localization length, in the insulator phase until it reaches its lower limit ～λ _F. The suppression of the spatial dispersion of D(q,ω) near the Anderson transition up to the atomic scale confirms the asymptotic validity of the Vollhardt-Wölfle approximation: D(q,ω)?D(ω) as |t|→0 and ω→0. By contrast, the scale of the spatial dispersion of the electrical conductivity in the insulator phase is of order of the localization length and diverges in proportion to |t|^?v as |t|→0.     

On the connection between the macroscopical and microscopical evolution in an exactly soluble hopping model: I. Neutral particles

The hopping rate equation for neutral particles, on an arbitrary periodical lattice, can be solved exactly. It is shown that if one scales the time t and the distances x(t→λ²t, x→λx) then, in the λ→∞ limit, the particle density tends to the solution of the diffusion equation faster than λ^?3. The diffusion coefficient is the same as obtained from both Kubo and Miller-Abrahams theory via the Einstein relation.     

Probability Law for the Euclidean Distance Between Two Planar Random Flights

We consider two independent symmetric Markov random flights Z ₁(t) and Z ₂(t) performed by the particles that simultaneously start from the origin of the Euclidean plane $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ in random directions distributed uniformly on the unit circumference S ₁ and move with constant finite velocities c ₁>0, c ₂>0, respectively. The new random directions are taking uniformly on S ₁ at random time instants that form independent homogeneous Poisson flows of rates λ ₁>0, λ ₂>0. The probability distribution function $\varPhi(r,t)= \operatorname{Pr} \{ \rho(t)<r \}$ of the Euclidean distance $$\rho(t)=\big\Vert \mathbf{Z}_1(t) - \mathbf{Z}_2(t) \big\Vert , \quad t>0, $$ between Z ₁(t) and Z ₂(t) at arbitrary time instant t>0, is derived. Asymptotics of Φ(r,t), as r→0, and a numerical example are also given.     

Dynamic and spatial behavior of a corrugated interface in the driven lattice gas model

The spatiotemporal behavior of an initially corrugated interface in the two-dimensional driven lattice gas (DLG) model with attractive nearest-neighbors interactions is investigated via Monte Carlo simulations. By setting the system in the ordered phase, with periodic boundary conditions along the external field axis. i.e. horizontal, and open along the vertical directions respectively, an initial interface was imposed, that consists in a series of sinusoidal profiles with amplitude A₀ and wavelength λ set parallel to the applied driving field axis. We studied the dynamic behavior of its statistical width or roughness W(t), defined as the root mean square of the interface position. We found that W(t) decays exponentially for all λ and lattice longitudinal sizes L_x, i.e., the lattice side that runs along the axis of the external field. We determined its relaxation time τ, and found that depends on λ as a power law τ∝λ^p, where p depends on the temperature and L_x. At low T’s (T?T_c(E)) and large L_x, p approaches to p=3/2. At intermediate T’s (T<T_c(E)), p decreases up to p≈1, and is free of finite effects. This indicates that the interface stabilizes faster than in the equilibrium model, i. e. the Ising lattice gas (E=0) where p=3. At higher T’s p increases for T?T_c(E), and the finite size dependence is recovered. Also, if T is fixed, p increases with L_x until it saturates at large values of it, while this regime is vanishing at T?T_c(E). In this way, the dynamic relaxation process of a sinusoidal interface is improved by the external driving field with respect to its equilibrium counterpart, if the system is set in an intermediate temperature stage far from T_c(E) and in a lattice with a sufficiently large longitudinal side. The behavior of τ was also investigated as a function of E and in the intermediate stage T<T_c(E). It was found that τ decreases exponentially with E in the interval 0<E?1, while for higher fields it remains constant. The exponential decay depends on the wavelength of the initial profile.In order to study the spatial evolution of the profiles, we evaluated the structure factor of the interface, and the Fourier coefficients corresponding to the same wave vector of the initial profile. The obtained results allowed us to conclude that the spatial evolution of the profile maintains its initial wavelength, does not travel along the external field axis, and its shape is preserved over all the relaxation process.     

Dynamical properties of a logistic growth model with cross-correlated noises

A logistic growth model driven by additive and multiplicative noises which are correlated with each other is investigated. Using the Novikov theorem and the projection operator method, we obtain the analytic expressions of the stationary probability distribution p_st(x), the relaxation time T_c, and the normalized correlation function C(s) of this system. The computational results show that the relaxation time T_c increases as the cross-correlated time τ increases, but decreases while the cross-correlated strength λ increases. The relationship between the relaxation time C(s) and the decay time s is given. Correlation time τ and correlation strength λ play an opposite role on dynamic properties in this logistic growth model.     

Reconnection dynamics for quantized vortices

By analyzing trajectories of solid hydrogen tracers in superfluid ⁴He, we identify tens of thousands of individual reconnection events between quantized vortices. We characterize the dynamics by the minimum separation distance δ(t) between the two reconnecting vortices both before and after the events. Applying dimensional arguments, this separation has been predicted to behave asymptotically as δ(t)≈A(κ|t−t₀|)^1/2, where κ=h/m is the quantum of circulation. The major finding of the experiments and their analysis is strong support for this asymptotic form with κ as the dominant controlling feature, although there are significant event to event fluctuations. At the three-parameter level the dynamics may be about equally well-fit by two modified expressions: (a) an arbitrary power-law expression of the form δ(t)=B|t−t₀|^α and (b) a correction-factor expression δ(t)=A(κ|t−t₀|)^1/2(1+c|t−t₀|). The measured frequency distribution of α is peaked at the predicted value α=0.5, although the half-height values are α=0.35 and 0.80 and there is marked variation in all fitted quantities. Accepting (b) the amplitude A has mean values of 1.24±0.01 and half height values of 0.8 and 1.6 while the c distribution is peaked close to c=0 with a half-height range of −0.9 s⁻¹ to 1.5 s⁻¹. In light of possible physical interpretations we regard the correction-factor expression (b), which attributes the observed deviations from the predicted asymptotic form to fluctuations in the local environment and in boundary conditions, as best describing our experimental data. The observed dynamics appear statistically time-reversible, which suggests that an effective equilibrium has been established in quantum turbulence on the time scales (≤0.25 s) investigated. We discuss the impact of reconnection on velocity statistics in quantum turbulence and, as regards classical turbulence, we argue that forms analogous to (b) could well provide an alternative interpretation of the observed deviations from Kolmogorov scaling exponents of the longitudinal structure functions.     

Change in the shape of a symmetric light pulse passing through a quantum well

A theory for the response of a 2D two-level system to irradiation by a symmetric light pulse is developed. Under certain conditions, such an electron system approximates an ideal solitary quantum well in a zero field or a strong magnetic field H perpendicular to the plane of the well. One of the energy levels is the ground state of the system, while the other is a discrete excited state with energy ?ω₀, which may be an exciton level for H=0 or any level in a strong magnetic field. It is assumed that the effect of other energy levels and the interaction of light with the lattice can be ignored. General formulas are derived for the time dependence of the dimensionless “coefficients” of the reflection ?(t), absorption A(t), and transmission ?(t) for a symmetric light pulse. It is shown that the ?(t), A(t), and ?(t) time dependences have singular points of three types. At points t ₀ of the first type, A(t ₀)=T(t ₀)=0 and total reflection takes place. It is shown that for γ_r?γ, where γ_r and γ are the radiative and nonradiative reciprocal lifetimes, respectively, for the upper energy level of the two-level system, the amplitude and shape of the transmitted pulse can change significantly under the resonance ω_l=ω₀. In the case of a long pulse, when γ_l<γ_r, the pulse is reflected almost completely. (The quantity γ_l characterizes the duration of the exciting pulse.) In the case of an intermediate pulse duration γ_l?γ_r, the reflection, absorption, and transmission are comparable in value and the shape of the transmitted pulse differs considerably from the shape of the exciting pulse: the transmitted pulse has two peaks due to the existence of the point t ₀ of total reflection, at which the transmission is zero. If the carrier frequency ω_l of light differs from the resonance frequency ω₀, the oscillating ?(t), A(t), and ?(t) time dependences are observed at the frequency Δω=ωl?ω₀. Oscillations can be observed most conveniently for Δω?γ_l. The position of the singular points of total absorption, reflection, and transparency is studied for the case when ω_l differs from the resonance frequency.     

Verification of the laws of luminescence of solids for manganese complexes of benzyl-trimethylammonium and 2-chloropyridinium

A formula at low temperature for the function G($\text{1}\text{λ}$) = I_λλ⁶ has been derived in terms of configuration curve theory and checked on luminescence spectra near 77 K. The vibrational quantum in the excited state has been calculated from the decrease of G($\text{1}\text{λ}{}_{\mathrm{M}}$), where λ_M is the wavelength of the maxima of G at low temperature, as a function of temperature.     

Stability of bipolarons in the presence of a magnetic field

The stability of large Fröhlich bipolarons in the presence of a static magnetic field is investigated with the path integral formalism. We find that the application of a magnetic field (characterized by the cyclotron frequence ω _c) favors bipolaron formation: (i) the critical electronphonon coupling parameter α _c (above which the bipolaron is stable) decreases with increasing ω _c and (ii) the critical Coulomb repulsion strength U _c (below which the bipolaron is stable) increases with increasing ω _c. The binding energy and the corresponding variational parameters are calculated as a function of α, U and ω _c. Analytical results are obtained in various limiting cases. In the limit of strong electron-phonon coupling (α ? 1) we obtain for ω _c ? 1 that E _estim ? E _estim(ω _c = 0) + c(u)ω _c/α ⁴ with c(u) an explicitly calculated constant, dependent on the ratio u = U/α where U is the strength of the Coulomb repulsion. This relation applies both in 2D and in 3D, but with a different expression for c(u). For ω _c ? α ²? 1 we find in 3D E _estim ? ω _c - α ² A(u) ln²(ω _c/α ²), (also with an explicit analytical expression for A(u)) whereas in 2D E _estim ^2D ? ω _c - α√ω _cπ(u-2-√2)/2. The validity region of the Feynman-Jensen inequality for the present problem, bipolarons in a magnetic field, remains to be examined.     

Thermoremanent magnetization in Rb2Mn(1-x)CrxCl4 spin-glass

Time dependence of thermoremanent magnetization (TRM) in a new spin-glass, Rb₂Mn_(1-x)Cr_xCl₄ is measured at temperatures below the freezing temperature. The result shows that long time behavior of the TRM obeys a power law, M(t) = Ct^?A. It is shown from the analysis of the experiment that there is a possibility of the presence of a critical temperature.     

Amplitude and natural-parity-exchange analysis of K±p → (Kπ)±p data at 10 GeV/c

High statistics data for the reactions K^±p → K_S⁰π^±p at 10 GeV/c are analysed. The K¹(1^?), K¹(2⁺), and K¹(3^?) resonance parameters and production cross sections are calculated. The Kπ production amplitudes are determined as a function of t and the produced Kπ mass. Isoscalar natural-parity-exchange (NPE) is dominant. The t dependence of the K^± NPE amplitudes have a cross-over at t = ?0.3 (GeV/c)² for both K¹(890) and K¹(1420) production, being more pronounced for the K¹(1420). Natural-parity-exchange interference effects are isolated. The NPE amplitudes are decomposed into pomeron-, f-, and ω-exchange contributions. S-wave Kπ production is found to be consistent with the Kπ partial-wave analyses of charge-exchange reactions.     

A Mössbauer study of the bipyramidal lattice site (2b) in BaFe12O19

The hyperfine fieldsH _f(T), center shifts δ(T) and relative recoilless fractionsf _a(T) at different lattice sites of barium ferrite were determined by Mössbauer spectroscopy of⁵⁷Fe over a temperature range from 12 to 723 K. For ferric iron in the crystalline site (2b), the recoilless fractionf _a(T) decreases most with increasing temperature in comparison with that of other sites, corresponding to a characteristic temperature {ie219-1}. These results indicate that the ferric iron in the site (2b) oscillates between two equivalent positions (4e) on either side of the symmetry plane normal to thec-axis.     

Mound morphology of the 2+1 -dimensional Wolf-Villain model caused by the step-edge diffusion effect

The mound morphology of the 2+1-dimensional Wolf-Villain model is studied by numerical simulation. The diffusion rule of this model has an intrinsic mechanism, i.e., the step-edge diffusion, to create a local uphill particle current, which leads to the formation of the mound. In the simulation, a noise reduction technique is employed to enhance the local uphill particle current. Our results for the dynamic exponent 1/z and the roughness exponent α obtained from the surface width show a dependence on the strength of the step-edge diffusion. On the other hand, λ(t), which describes the separation of the mounds, grows as a function of time in a power-law form in the regime where the coalescence of mounds occurs, λ(t)∼tⁿ, with n≈0.23-0.25 for a wide range of the deposition conditions under the step-edge diffusion effect. For m=1, a noise reduction factor of unity, the behavior of λ(t) in the saturated regime is also simulated. We find that the evolution behavior of λ(t) in the whole process can be described by the standard Family-Vicsek scaling.

Pseudogap and its temperature dependence in YBCO from the data of resistance measurements

The temperature dependence of the excess conductivity Δσ for Δσ = A(1 ? T/T^*)exp(Δ^*/T) (YBCO) epitaxial films is analyzed. The excess conductivity is determined from the difference between the normal resistance extrapolated to the low-temperature range and the measured resistance. It is demonstrated that the temperature dependence of the excess conductivity is adequately described by the relationship Δσ = A(1 ? T/T^*)exp(Δ^*/T). The pseudogap width and its temperature dependence are calculated under the assumption that the temperature behavior of the excess conductivity is associated with the formation of the pseudogap at temperatures well above the critical temperature T _c of superconductivity. The results obtained are compared with the available experimental and theoretical data. The crossover to fluctuation conductivity near the critical temperature T _c is discussed.
