The dynamics of copolymers in homopolymer matrices

The ability of a polymer chain to relax when it is deformed, and the ease to which this relaxation occurs, dramatically influences the macroscopic properties of the polymeric material. However, the local segmental relaxation processes in multi-component polymer systems are not well understood. The impact of the dynamics of one component on the dynamics of the other is not simply proportional to the relative amounts of each component, as one might expect. This paper discusses recent results using neutron techniques and Monte Carlo simulation that monitor the dynamic properties of a copolymer in a homopolymer matrix. In particular, the results indicate that altering either copolymer sequence distribution or copolymer composition will dramatically impact the dynamics of the copolymer that is surrounded by homopolymers. These results provide important fundamental information on the coupling of the dynamics of two components in a multi-component polymer system. This data also offer insight into the local segmental relaxation processes in multi-component polymer systems, which are not well understood and yet influence the ultimate properties of these mixtures     

Chromatin code, local non-equilibrium dynamics, and the emergence of transcription regulatory programs

Chromatin is a, if not the, hallmark of eukaryotic life. Any molecular process entailing genomic DNA or the nucleus by default provokes or depends on chromatin structural dynamics on various space and time scales. Chromatin dynamics are result of changes in the physico-chemical properties of the chromatin constituents themselves or the nuclear environment. Chromatin has been found in the former case to undergo many different covalent enzyme-mediated chemical modifications. Their identification sheds light on the molecular mechanisms and the physico-chemical properties underlying chromatin dynamics, and allows the development of quantitative models for the chromatin fiber. The abundance of the different modifications, their dynamics, and short- as well as long-range correlation phenomena between different modifications also point to a second layer of genomic coding implemented at the level of chromatin. Especially, gene regulatory coding seems to depend on such a second-level code. The information-theoretical properties of chromatin in the context of gene regulatory coding are discussed. A model for the emergence of cellular differentiation from the intricate interplay between genomic and chromatin code is presented and discussed in light of recent experimental insights.     

The mechanical and the wave-theoretical aspects of momentum considering discrete action

The mechanical aspect of momentum, basically its role as a tangent vector of the trajectory of the particle, is related to properties of the momentum found in the contexts of Hamilton's optico-mechanical analogy, de Broglie's matter waves, and quantum mechanics. These properties are treated in a systematic way by considering an approximation of the particle mechanical action of the particle by a step function. A special method of discretizing partial differential equations is shown to be required. Using this method, a discrete dynamics is developed. It is shown that particle dynamics can be regarded as the limit case of the discrete dynamics as the step functions tend to the continuous ones. The equation of motion of a free particle in an arbitrary reference system is deduced in two ways: (i) in continuous dynamics by making use of the invariance of action within changes of reference systems, and (ii) by taking the mentioned limit in discrete dynamics of an equation which expresses that the mechanical and wave-theoretical aspects of the momentum are interrelated in specific way.     

Universal classes of magnetic-field- and electric-current-induced magnetic domain-wall dynamics in one and two dimensional regimes

Magnetic domain-wall (DW), interface between different magnetic domains, has received great attention due to its opportunities toward memory and logic devices as well as its abundant physical properties as a driven interface. Since recent advances of fabrication techniques allow us to scale down the devices, we are facing lower dimensional properties that should be elucidated undoubtedly. Here, we review recent progresses on DW dynamics in ferromagnetic nanowires and our recent experimental observation on the dimensionality transition of the DW dynamics driven by magnetic field and/or current. Our results show that the DW dynamics shows a transition from two to one dimensional behavior as the wire width decreases. In addition, we also demonstrate that the magnetic-field- and electric-current-driven DW dynamics in metallic ferromagnetic nanowires belong to the same universal class.     

A new function of graphene oxide emerges: inactivating phytopathogenic bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Oryzae

The main goal of the present work is to examine the effect of graphene layers on the structural and dynamical properties of polymer systems. We study hybrid poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/graphene interfacial systems, through detailed atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. In order to characterize the interface, various properties related to density, structure and dynamics of polymer chains are calculated, as a function of the distance from the substrate. A series of different hybrid systems, with width ranging between 2.60 and 13.35 nm, are being modeled. In addition, we compare the properties of the macromolecular chains to the properties of the corresponding bulk system at the same temperature. We observe a strong effect of graphene layers on both structure and dynamics of the PMMA chains. Furthermore, the PMMA/graphene interface is characterized by different length scales, depending on the actual property we probe: density of PMMA polymer chains is larger than the bulk value, for polymer chains close to graphene layers up to distances of about 1.0–1.5 nm. Chain conformations are perturbed for distances up to about 2–3 radius of gyration from graphene. Segmental dynamics of PMMA is much slower close to the solid layers up to about 2–3 nm. Finally, terminal-chain dynamics is slower, compared to the bulk one, up to distances of about 5–7 radius of gyration.     

Detrended fluctuation analysis of heart intrabeat dynamics

We investigate scaling properties of electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings of healthy subjects and heart failure patients based on detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). While the vast majority of scaling analysis has focused on the characterization of the long-range correlations of interbeat (i.e., beat-to-beat) dynamics, in this work we consider instead the characterization of intrabeat dynamics. That is, here we use DFA to study correlations for time scales smaller than one heart beat period (about 0.75 s). Our results show that intrabeat dynamics of healthy subject are less correlated than for heart failure dynamics. As in the case of interbeat dynamics, the DFA scaling exponents can be used to discriminate healthy and pathological data. It is shown that 0.5 h recordings suffices to characterize the ECG correlation properties.     

Dynamics of Sine-Gordon Solitons

After reviewing a few physical examples in whichthe sine-Gordon equation arises as the governingdynamical equation, we discuss various solutionsexhibiting multisoliton dynamics. Interaction ofsolitons and the corresponding velocity-dependentinteraction potentials are derived and discussed.Numerical experiments are carried out in order to studykink dynamics in an inhomogeneous medium. Finally, weintroduce two kinds of generalized sine-Gordon equationsand discuss their properties.     

On the numerical study of percolation and epidemic critical properties in networks

The static properties of the fundamental model for epidemics of diseases allowing immunity (susceptible-infected-removed model) are known to be derivable by an exact mapping to bond percolation. Yet when performing numerical simulations of these dynamics in a network a number of subtleties must be taken into account in order to correctly estimate the transition point and the associated critical properties. We expose these subtleties and identify the different quantities which play the role of criticality detector in the two dynamics.     

Population dynamics at high Reynolds number

We study the statistical properties of population dynamics evolving in a realistic two-dimensional compressible turbulent velocity field. We show that the interplay between turbulent dynamics and population growth and saturation leads to quasilocalization and a remarkable reduction in the carrying capacity. The statistical properties of the population density are investigated and quantified via multifractal scaling analysis. We also investigate numerically the singular limit of negligibly small growth rates and delocalization of population ridges triggered by uniform advection.     

Configurational Entropy, Diffusivity and Potential Energy Landscape in Liquid Argon

The configurational entropy, diffusion eoefficient, dynamics and thermodynamics fragility indices of liquid argon are calculated using molecular dynamics simulations at two densities. The relationship between dynamics and thermodynamics properties is studied. The diffusion coefficient depends linearly on configurational entropy, which is consistent with the hypothesis of Adam Gibbs. The consistence of dynamics and thermodynamics fragility indices demonstrates that dynamical behaviour is governed by thermodynamics behaviour in glass transition of liquid argon.     

Pressure effects on diffusion in liquid ammonia : A simulation study using a combination of isobaric-isothermal and microcanonical molecular dynamics

The effects of pressure on translational and rotational diffusion in liquid ammonia are investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulations. Calculations are done at two different temperatures and at many different pressures by using a two-part protocol involving molecular dynamics in isobaric-isothermal ensemble in the first part and in microcanonical ensemble in the second part. Our results are analyzed in terms of pressure-induced changes in structural properties such as packing and hydrogen bond properties. Also, the present results of liquid ammonia are compared with corresponding results for other hydrogen bonded liquids that were reported in recent years.      

Dynamics of the domain structure in a ferroelectric triglycinesulfate crystal

The dynamics of the domain structure in ferroelectrics of order-disorder type like triglycinesulfate is studied. The polarization properties of ferroelectrics with relaxation-type absorption are described in terms of the pseudospin formalism. A kinetic equation describing the polarization dynamics of ferroelectrics is derived using the Hamiltonian of the problem. The domain structure dynamics is obtained for different problem parameters and initial conditions. Analytical results are compared with experimental data.     

Soliton dynamics of megawatt ultrashort light pulses in a hollow photonic-crystal fiber: Effect of high-order dispersion and retarded nonlinearity

The properties of megawatt optical solitons in hollow photonic-crystal fibers (PCFs) are studied. We demonstrate regimes where high-power laser pulses can be compressed to a few cycles of light field and identify the main tendencies in the soliton dynamics of ultrashort laser pulses in hollow PCFs originating from dispersion properties and limited transmission band of such waveguides. The influence of retarded nonlinearity on the soliton dynamics of high-power laser pulses in a hollow PCF is analyzed. In a multisoliton regime, retarded nonlinearity and high-order dispersion are shown to result in the formation of high-power pulses displaying no oscillations of their temporal envelope, which would be typical of standard high-order solitons.     

Adiabatic small noise fluctuations around anticipated synchronization: A perspective from scalar master-slave dynamics

In this paper we extract and highlight some essential ingredients and properties that characterize the phenomenon of anticipated synchronization when external additive noise sources perturb the master and slave dynamics. Our results rely on a minimal scalar setup able to exhibit the more fundamental aspects of this phenomenon, where the fluctuations around the average dynamics are worked out in a small noise and adiabatic approximations allowing to describe their dynamics through linear delay Langevin equations. In this context, we find necessary conditions that guarantee anticipated synchronization in the mean value. Fluctuations around this condition are studied through the stationary correlation of the delayed difference between the master and slave dynamics. It is shown that external noise properties can be inferred by measuring this object. Conditions for minimizing the dynamical fluctuations around the anticipated synchronization in mean value are found. A detailed analysis of the dependence on the characteristic parameters is presented.     

Dynamical properties of magnetized two-dimensional one-component plasma

Molecular dynamics simulation are used to examine the effect of a uniform perpendicular magnetic field on a two-dimensional interacting electron system. In this simulation we include the effect of the magnetic field classically through the Lorentz force. Both the Coulomb and the magnetic forces are included directly in the electron dynamics to study their combined effect on the dynamical properties of the 2D system. Results are presented for the velocity autocorrelation function and the diffusion constants in the presence and absence of an external magnetic field. Our simulation results clearly show that the external magnetic field has an effect on the dynamical properties of the system.     

Burst synchronization of electrically and chemically coupled map-based neurons

Burst synchronization and burst dynamics of a system consisting of two map-based neurons coupled through electrical or chemical synapses are discussed. Some basic characteristic quantities are introduced to describe burst synchronization and burst dynamics of neurons. It is observed that excitatory coupling leads to in-phase burst synchronization but inhibitory coupling results in anti-phase one. By using the basic characteristics of burst dynamics, the effects of the intrinsic bursting properties and the coupling schemes on complex bursting behaviors are also presented for both inhibitory and excitatory couplings. The results are instructive to identify bursting behaviors through experimental data.

Anharmonic renormalization and non-Markovian decay of coherent optical phonons in polar semiconductors

The influence of anharmonic renormalization effects on the decay dynamics of coherent longitudinal optical phonons is investigated from a microscopic point of view. Time-resolved coherent anti-Stokes Raman signals are calculated for GaP on the basis of a full phonon dispersion calculation, and the relevant decay channels are identified and compared. Anharmonic renormalization effects are found to induce non-Markovian behaviour of the decay dynamics and lead to a decrease of the decay time. The renormalization effects only depend on the special properties of the phonon dispersion of the given material. This underlines the intrinsic nature of the non-Markovian decay dynamics of phonons for any material. Non-Markovian dynamics of the decay of coherent LO-phonons is calculated for GaP and result in a 30% faster decay signal than the corresponding Markovian dynamics.
