Localization properties of driven disordered one-dimensional systems

We generalize the definition of localization length to disordered systems driven by a time-periodic potential using a Floquet-Green function formalism. We study its dependence on the amplitude and frequency of the driving field in a one-dimensional tight-binding model with different amounts of disorder in the lattice. As compared to the autonomous system, the localization length for the driven system can increase or decrease depending on the frequency of the driving. We investigate the dependence of the localization length with the particle's energy and prove that it is always periodic. Its maximum is not necessarily at the band center as in the non-driven case. We study the adiabatic limit by introducing a phenomenological inelastic scattering rate which limits the delocalizing effect of low-frequency fields.     

Phase separation dynamics in driven diffusive systems

We study phase separation dynamics in a driven diffusive system. Our simulations are based on the Cahn-Hilliard equation with an additional flux term due to an external field. We study the dynamical scaling parallel and perpendicular to the field. A crossover is observed from isotropic domains at early times to extremely anisotropic domains at later times. We find that the inverse interfacial density (an isotropic measure of the domain size) increases ast , with =1/3, from early times independent of the field strength, even though we do not observe dynamical scaling during these times. Our results indicate that a growth exponent =1/3 may be more universal than previously expected. We analyze the dynamics in terms of surface driven instabilities and one-dimensional solitary waves.     

Neutral-ionic phase separation and one-dimensional ferroelectricity in organic relaxors

Microscopic phase segregation by chemical doping and resultant anomalous dielectric response have been investigated for tetrathiafulvalene-p-chloranil complex doped with trichloro-p-benzoquinone ( QCl3). Beyond a critical QCl3 content, the system shows a behavior of relaxor ferroelectrics, as characterized by strong frequency dispersion and a rounded peak shape of gigantic dielectric susceptibility. The relaxor phase arises from one-dimensional ferroelectricity, as evidenced by a diffuse x-ray scattering, in which interchain ferroelectric coupling associated with neutral-ionic transition is interrupted by impurity-generated neutral microclusters.     

Modelling one-dimensional driven diffusive systems by the Zero-Range Process

In order to characterize networks in the scale-free network class we study the frequency of cycles of length h that indicate the ordering of network structure and the multiplicity of paths connecting two nodes. In particular we focus on the scaling of the number of cycles with the system size in off-equilibrium scale-free networks. We observe that each off-equilibrium network model is characterized by a particular scaling in general not equal to the scaling found in equilibrium scale-free networks. We claim that this anomalous scaling can occur in real systems and we report the case of the Internet at the Autonomous System Level.Received: 15 January 2004, Published online: 14 May 2004PACS: 89.75.-k Complex systems - 89.75.Hc Networks and genealogical trees     

A model for phase separation in systems with orbital ordering

The possibility of phase separation in the substances with orbital ordering is analyzed. The additional charge carriers introduced due to doping favor the formation of nanosize inhomogeneities with the orbital structure different from that in the undoped material. The shapes and sizes of such inhomogeneities are determined.     

Absence of phase transitions in certain one-dimensional long-range random systems

An Ising chain is considered with a potential of the formJ(i, j)/|i–j|, where theJ(i, j) are independent random variables with mean zero. The chain contains both randomness and frustration, and serves to model a spin glass. A simple argument is provided to show that the system does not exhibit a phase transition at a positive temperature if>1. This is to be contrasted with a ferromagnetic interaction which requires>2. The basic idea is to prove that the surfacefree energy between two half-lines is finite, although the surface energy may be unbounded. Ford-dimensional systems, it is shown that the free energy does not depend on the specific boundary conditions if>(1/2)d.     

BKT phase in systems of spinless strongly interacting one-dimensional fermions

We present the ground-state wavefunctions for a system of spinless one-dimensional fermions in the limit of an infinitely strong interaction, and we demonstrate explicitly that the system symmetry is lower than the original symmetry of the Hamiltonian. As a result, the system in this limit undergoes a second-order phase transition into a phase with finite density of chiral pairs. The phase transforms continuously into a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase if the interaction in the model decreases. Therefore, just the BKT phase is realized in nature. The temperature of the smearing phase transition is calculated. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Electric field sensitive phase separation in metal-hydrogen systems

The steady-state distribution of absorbed hydrogen in a metal wire subject to an applied potential difference is examined using a mean-field interacting lattice gas model. Our analysis suggests that the electric field can lead to the formation of a distinct phase boundary, the location of which can be shifted by altering the applied potential difference. Illustrative computed results are given for the palladium-hydrogen system.     

Coulomb-frustrated phase separation phase diagram in systems with short-range negative compressibility

Using numerical techniques and asymptotic expansions we obtain the phase diagram of a paradigmatic model of Coulomb-frustrated phase separation in systems with negative short-range compressibility. The transition from the homogeneous phase to the inhomogeneous phase is generically first order in isotropic three-dimensional systems except for a critical point. Close to the critical point, inhomogeneities are predicted to form a bcc lattice with subsequent transitions to a triangular lattice of rods and a layered structure. Inclusion of a strong anisotropy allows for second- and first-order transition lines joined by a tricritical point.     

Phase coexistence in driven one-dimensional transport

We study a one-dimensional totally asymmetric exclusion process with random particle attachments and detachments in the bulk. The resulting dynamics leads to unexpected stationary regimes for large but finite systems. Such regimes are characterized by a phase coexistence of low and high density regions separated by domain walls. We use a mean-field approach to interpret the numerical results obtained by Monte Carlo simulations, and we predict the phase diagram of this nonconserved dynamics in the thermodynamic limit.     

Fluctuations in the motions of mass and of patterns in one-dimensional driven diffusive systems

The stochastic spreading of mass fluctuations in systems described by a fluctuating Burgers equation increases ast ^2/3 with time. As a consequence the stochastic motion of a mass front, a point through which no excess mass current is flowing, is shown to increase ast ^1/3. The same is true for the stochastic displacement of mass points and shock fronts with respect to their average drift, provided the initial configuration is fixed. An additional average over the stationary distribution of the initial configuration yields stochastic displacements, increasing with time ast ^1/2.     

Hopping and phase shifts in noisy periodically driven bistable systems

We consider a periodically driven bistable system in the presence of fluctuations. In a number of recent papers it has been shown that the amplitude of the response of the noisy system to periodic modulations exhibits stochastic resonance, i.e. a resonance-like behavior as a function of the noise intensity. In this paper, we consider the phase shift between the response and the periodic driving. For weak periodic driving, the phase shift also shows a resonance like behaviour as a function of the noise strength, but this effect is shown to be of different origin than the one responsible for stochastic resonance. Furthermore, the phase shift is demonstrated to exhibit a resonance-like behavior as a function of the driving frequency.     

Variable reactivity and phase separation in patchy particle systems

ABSTRACT

Using statistical model, we study mechanisms of phase separation in a solution consisting of patchy particles, which are capable to form directed and saturated thermoreversible bonds. We focus on the impact of variable reactivity of patchy particles on the form of miscibility gap. We show that the variation of model parameters determining features of interparticle interaction makes it possible to obtain miscibility gaps of different types within the unified formalism. In particular, we uncover two different mechanisms of the formation of phase separation curves with lower critical solution temperature. The first mechanism is realised in the case of positive bonding energy; the second one can takes place when the energy of formation of two-bonded particles is lower than that for all other m-bonded ones. We conclude that the most interesting and non-trivial phase behavior is observed in the case of patchy particles with variable reactivity. Using rigorous statistical model, we uncover new mechanisms of phase separation in a solution consisting of patchy particles, which are capable to form directed and saturated thermoreversible bonds. This topic corresponds to state of the art in modern chemical physics. The results obtained shed light on interplay between features of non-isotropic interactions and phase behavior in both molecular and nanoparticle systems. We conclude that the most interesting and non-trivial phase behavior is observed in the case of patchy particles with variable reactivity.     

Boundary-driven phase transitions in open driven systems with an umbilic point

Different phases in open driven systems are governed by either shocks or rarefaction waves. A presence of an isolated umbilic point in bidirectional systems of interacting particles stabilizes an unusual large scale excitation, an umbilic shock (U-shock). We show that in open systems the U-shock governs a large portion of phase space, and drives a new discontinuous transition between the two rarefaction-controlled phases. This is in contrast to strictly hyperbolic case where such a transition is always continuous. Also, we describe another robust phase which takes place at the phase governed by the U-shock, if the umbilic point is not isolated.
