Bethe-Peierls approximation for the disordered Ising model

We study the Ising model for an alloy with an arbitrary number of components. We develop an approximation which reduces to that of Bethe and Peierls when the concentration of one of the components is unity. We investigate within this approximation the dependence of the various thermodynamic quantities, in particularT _c, on the composition of the alloy and the magnetic properties of its constituents. Comparison with the only exact calculation available, that of F. T. Leeet al., for a linear chain, shows extremely satisfactory agreement.Research supported by ARO (D).

Effective Hamiltonian of the Jaynes–Cummings model beyond rotating-wave approximation

The Jaynes–Cummings model with or without rotating-wave approximation plays a major role to study the interaction between atom and light. We investigate the Jaynes–Cummings model beyond the rotating-wave approximation. Treating the counter-rotating terms as periodic drivings, we solve the model in the extended Floquet space. It is found that the full energy spectrum folded in the quasi-energy bands can be described by an effective Hamiltonian derived in the highfrequency regime. In contrast to the Z_2 symmetry of the original model, the effective Hamiltonian bears an enlarged U(1)symmetry with a unique photon-dependent atom-light detuning and coupling strength. We further analyze the energy spectrum, eigenstate fidelity and mean photon number of the resultant polaritons, which are shown to be in accordance with the numerical simulations in the extended Floquet space up to an ultra-strong coupling regime and are not altered significantly for a finite atom-light detuning. Our results suggest that the effective model provides a good starting point to investigate the rich physics brought by counter-rotating terms in the frame of Floquet theory.     

A new lattice approximation forthe Høegh-Krohn quantum field model

Anderson impurity model: Vertex corrections within the finite U non-crossing approximation

We revise the simplest possible approximations to solve numerically the vertex equations for the single impurity Anderson model (SIAM) within the finite U non-crossing approximation (UNCA), considering the self-energies at lowest order in the 1/N diagrammatic expansion. We introduce an approximation to the vertex corrections that includes the double energy dependence and compare it with an approximation (NCAf²v) that neglects a second energy argument. Finally, we analyse the influence of the different approximations on the estimated Kondo scale for simple electronic models.     

Self-consistent mean field approximation and application in three-flavor NJL model

In this study, we apply a self-consistent mean field approximation of the three-flavor Nambu–Jona-Lasinio(NJL) model and compare it with the two-flavor NJL model. The self-consistent mean field approximation introduces a new parameter, α, that cannot be fixed in advance by the mean field approach itself. Due to the lack of experimental data, the parameter, α, is undetermined. Hence, it is regarded as a free parameter and its influence on the chiral phase transition of strong interaction matter is studied based on this self-consistent mean field approximation. α affects numerous properties of the chiral phase transitions, such as the position of the phase transition point and the order of phase transition. Additionally, increasing α will decrease the number densities of different quarks and increase the chemical potential at which the number density of the strange quark is non-zero. Finally, we observed that α affects the equation of state(EOS) of the quark matter, and the sound velocity can be calculated to determine the stiffness of the EOS, which provides a good basis for studying the neutron star mass-radius relationship.     

A microscopic aggregation model of droplet dynamics in warm clouds

A microscopic model of warm clouds involving input of water droplets, dropletdroplet aggregation, droplet breakup, and precipitation is presented. Numerical simulations and analytical arguments indicate that after the stage of growth and just before precipitation sets in, a warm cloud is characterized by a droplet-size distribution which follows from an inverse power law as a function of the droplet size. When precipitation is taken into account, the above distribution is transformed into a distribution decaying exponentially with the droplet size, in agreement with field observations. It is suggested that the initiation of rainfall in a precipitating warm cloud can be viewed as an instability triggered by the presence of a power-law distribution.     

A comparison of the surface nanostructure from two different types of gram-negative cells: Escherichia coli and Rhodobacter sphaeroides

Bacteria have been studied using different microscopy methods for many years. Recently, the developments of high-speed atomic force microscopy have opened the doors to study bacteria in new ways due to the fact that it uses much less force on the sample while imaging. This makes the high-speed atomic force microscope an indispensable technique for imaging the surface of living bacterial cells because it allows for the high-resolution visualization of surface proteins in their natural condition without disrupting the cell or the activity of the proteins. Previous work examining living cells of Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 demonstrated that the surface of these bacteria was covered with a net-like structure that is mainly composed of porin molecules. However, it was unclear whether or not this feature was unique to other living bacteria. In this study we used the high-speed atomic force microscope to examine the surface of living cells of Escherichia coli and Rhodobacter sphaeroides to compare their structure with that of M. magneticum. Our research clearly demonstrated that both of these types of cells have an outer surface that is covered in a network of nanometer-sized holes similar to M. magneticum. The diameter of the holes was 8.0 ± 1.5 nm for E. coli and 6.6 ± 1.1 nm for R. sphaeroides. The results in this paper confirm that this type of outer surface structure exists in other types of bacteria and it is not unique to Magnetospirillum.     

Alpha particle scattering in the rigid projectile approximation

We study elastic α-particle scattering offp,α-particle and¹²C targets at 17.9 GeV/c incident momentum in the rigid projectile approximation of the Glauber model. Differential and total cross-sections are computed and compared with the data. Reasonable agreement with the observed differential cross-sections is found for small momentum transfers but short-range dynamical correlations in the target will probably have to be taken into account to get better agreement at larger momentum transfers, particularly in the case of α-¹²C scattering.

A microscopic time scale approximation to the behavior of the local slope on the faceted surface under a nonuniformity in supersaturation

The morphological stability of a growing faceted crystal is discussed. We argue that the interplay between nonuniformity in supersaturation on a growing facet and anisotropy of surface kinetics derived from the lateral motion of steps leads to a faceted instability. Qualitatively speaking, as long as the nonuniformity in supersaturation on the facet is not too large, it can be compensated for by a variation of step density along the facet, and the faceted crystal can grow in a stable manner. The problem can be modeled as a Hamilton-Jacobi equation for height of the crystal surface. The notion of a maximal stable region of a growing facet is introduced for microscopic time scale approximation of the original Hamilton-Jacobi equation. It is shown that the maximal stable region keeps its shape, determined by profile of the surface supersaturation, with constant growth rate by studying large time behavior of solution of macroscopic time scale approximation. A quantitative criterion for the facet stability is given.

The two-dimensional ANNNI model in the CVM approximation

The phase diagram of the two-dimensional ANNNI model is investigated by the cluster variation method (CVM). We confirm the stability of the disordered phase down toT=0 and the absence of a Lifshitz point at finite temperature forK<1/2, whereK the ratio of the second to the first neighbor pair interactions. Two different modulation regimes for the correlation functions of the disordered phase are separated by a disorder line along which theq vector of the susceptibility maximum undergoes a lock-in transition. The study in reciprocal space of the stability of the disordered phase allows us to define a critical line in the phase diagram along which theq vector characterizing the instability is incommensurate. Finally, we show the existence of another Lifshitz point forK tending to infinity.     

A self-consistent Ornstein-Zernike approximation for the site-diluted Ising model

We propose a theory for the site-diluted Ising model which is an extension to disordered systems of the self-consistent Ornstein-Zernike approximation of Hoye and Stell. By using the replica method in the context of liquid-state theory, we treat the concentration of impurities as an ordinary thermodynamic variable. This approach is not limited to the weak-disorder regime or to the vicinity of the percolation point. A preliminary analysis using series expansion shows that it can predict accurately the dependence of the critical temperature on dilution and can reproduce the nonuniversal behavior of the effective exponents. The theory also gives a reasonable estimate of the percolation threshold.

Electromagnetic scattering from two-layer rough interfaces in the Kirchhoff approximation

Electromagnetic wave scattering from multilayers consisting of two two-layer Gaussian rough surfaces with lossless media is investigated in the Kirchhoff approximation (KA), with consideration of the shadowing effects. The tapered incident wave is introduced into the classic KA, and the bistatic scattering coefficient is redetermined. The advantage of this method is that it is faster in computation than the exact numerical methods. The numerical results show that the bistatic scattering coefficient calculated in the KA is in good agreement with that obtained by using the method of moment (MOM) over a most angular range, which indicates the validity of the KA proposed in our paper. Finally, the effects of the relative permittivity, the root-mean-square (RMS) height, the correlative length, and the average height between the two interfaces on the bistatic scattering coefficient are discussed in detail.     

A note on the examination of isospin effects in multi-dimensional Langevin fission dynamics

In [W. Ye, F. Wu, H.W. Yang, Phys. Lett. B 647 (2007) 118] prescission protons and α particles of high-isospin ²⁰⁶Pb were shown to be almost independent of the dissipation strength ks$k_s$. Subsequently, in [P.N. Nadtochy, et al., Phys. Lett. B 685 (2010) 258] prescission light charged particles (LCPs) were shown to have approximately the same sensitivity as neutrons to ks$k_s$ for ²⁰⁶Pb and ²⁰⁴Hg nuclei. In this Letter we point out that the reason for the apparent contradictory conclusions is that the authors in the latter did not compute the changes in the absolute yields of prescission LCPs multiplicities with increasing ks$k_s$ and compare them with typical experimental uncertainties. It is shown that the expected changes are very small in the case of neutron-rich ²⁰⁶Pb and ²⁰⁴Hg systems, which are within experimental error bars. This indicates that, from the viewpoint of experiment, LCPs emission of ²⁰⁶Pb and ²⁰⁴Hg is insensitive to dissipation.     

A mathematical model for the dynamics of clustering

The formation of several clusters, arising from attracting forces between nonidentical entities or agents, is a phenomenon observed in diverse fields. Think of people gathered through a mutual interest, swarm behaviour of animals or clustering of oscillators in brain cells.We introduce a dynamic model of mutually attracting agents for which we prove that the long-term behaviour consists of agents organized into several groups or clusters. We have completely characterized the cluster structure (i.e. the number of clusters and their composition) by means of a set of inequalities in the parameters of the model and have identified the intensity of the attraction as a key parameter governing the transition between different cluster structures.The versatility of the model will be illustrated by discussing its relation to the Kuramoto model and by describing how it applies to a system of interconnected water basins.     

Mean field theory for the quantum Rabi model,inconsistency to the rotating wave approximation

Time evolution of pertinent operators in the Rabi Hamiltonian and its rotating wave approximation (RWA) version, the Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM), in the Heisenberg picture, gives systems of nonlinear differential equations (NDEs). Considering well localized atom, the mean field theory (MFT) was applied to replace the operators by equivalent expectation values. The Rabi model was reduced to a fourth orders NDE describing atoms position. Solution by the harmonic balance method (HBM) showed good accuracy and consistency to the numerical results, which introduces it as a useful tool in the quantum dynamics studies. The NDEs describing the JCM in the Heisenberg picture structurally prevent applying the MFT and shows inconsistency to the Ehrenfest's theorem, contrary to the Rabi model.
