We present here a detailed study of the behaviour of a three dimensional Brownian motor based on cold atoms in a double optical
lattice [P. Sj?lund et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 190602 (2006)]. This includes both experiments and numerical simulations of a Brownian particle. The potentials used are
spatially and temporally symmetric, but combined spatiotemporal symmetry is broken by phase shifts and asymmetric transfer
rates between potentials. The diffusion of atoms in the optical lattices is rectified and controlled both in direction and
speed along three dimensions. We explore a large range of experimental parameters, where irradiances and detunings of the
optical lattice lights are varied within the dissipative regime. Induced drift velocities in the order of one atomic recoil
velocity have been achieved. 相似文献

A simple model of dispersive tracers which display a transient anomalous regime is presented. It is based on an ensemble of random walkers belonging to two independent populations characterized by different Lagrangian decorrelation times. Apart from short-time ballistic and long-time diffusive behavior, the dispersion shows anomalous scaling at intermediate times over a wide range of variability for the free parameters of the model. 相似文献

Brownian motion has played important roles in many different fields of science since its origin was first explained by Albert Einstein in 1905. Einstein's theory of Brownian motion, however, is only applicable at long time scales. At short time scales, Brownian motion of a suspended particle is not completely random, due to the inertia of the particle and the surrounding fluid. Moreover, the thermal force exerted on a particle suspended in a liquid is not a white noise, but is colored. Recent experimental developments in optical trapping and detection have made this new regime of Brownian motion accessible. This review summarizes related theories and recent experiments on Brownian motion at short time scales, with a focus on the measurement of the instantaneous velocity of a Brownian particle in a gas and the observation of the transition from ballistic to diffusive Brownian motion in a liquid. 相似文献

In this article, we present molecular dynamics study of the velocity autocorrelation
function (VACF) of a Brownian particle. We compare the results of the simulation with the
exact analytic predictions for a compressible fluid from [T.S. Chow, J.J. Hermans, Physica
65, 156 (1973)] and an approximate result combining the predictions from
hydrodynamics at short and long times. The physical quantities which determine the decay
were determined from separate bulk simulations of the Lennard-Jones fluid at the same
thermodynamic state point. We observe that the long-time regime of the VACF compares well
the predictions from the macroscopic hydrodynamics, but the intermediate decay is
sensitive to the viscoelastic nature of the solvent. 相似文献

We numerically study the spatial diffusion of an atomic cloud experiencing Sisyphus cooling in a three-dimensional linlin optical lattice in a broad range of lattice parameters. In particular, we investigate the dependence on the size of the
lattice sites which changes with the angle between the laser beams. We show that the steady-state temperature is largely independent
of the lattice angle, but that the spatial diffusion changes significantly. It is shown that the numerical results fulfill
the Einstein relations of Brownian motion in the jumping regime as well as in the oscillating regime. We finally derive an
effective Brownian motion model from first principles which gives good agreement with the simulations.

Intensity correlations between waves reflected and transmitted through random media are analyzed within the framework of the random matrix theory of transport. We introduce a new kind of correlations between transmitted and reflected intensities. For transmitted waves, the spatial correlation function can be expressed as the sum of three terms, with distinctive spatial dependences. This result coincides with the one obtained in the diffusive regime from perturbative calculations, but holds all the way from quasi-ballistic transport to localization. 相似文献

We investigate the dynamics of a single tracer particle performing Brownian motion in a two-dimensional course of randomly
distributed hard obstacles. At a certain critical obstacle density, the motion of the tracer becomes anomalous over many decades
in time, which is rationalized in terms of an underlying percolation transition of the void space. In the vicinity of this
critical density the dynamics follows the anomalous one up to a crossover time scale where the motion becomes either diffusive
or localized. We analyze the scaling behavior of the time-dependent diffusion coefficient D(t) including corrections to scaling. Away from the critical density, D(t) exhibits universal hydrodynamic long-time tails both in the diffusive as well as in the localized phase. 相似文献

We introduce a model of branching Brownian motions in time-space random environment associated with the Poisson random measure.
We prove that, if the randomness of the environment is moderated by that of the Brownian motion, the population density satisfies
a central limit theorem and the growth rate of the population size is the same as its expectation with strictly positive probability.
We also characterize the diffusive behavior of our model in terms of the decay rate of the replica overlap. On the other hand,
we show that, if the randomness of the environment is strong enough, the growth rate of the population size is strictly less
than its expectation almost surely. To do this, we use a connection between our model and the model of Brownian directed polymers
in random environment introduced by Comets and Yoshida.

Using Monte Carlo simulations and an extended Landau-Alexander-McTague theory, we demonstrate that colloids in a one-dimensional quasicrystalline potential order in triangular and rhombic-alpha crystalline phases. Increasing the strength of the potential further, a new type of light-induced melting is discovered that has its origin in the nonperiodicity of the potential. In contrast to reentrant melting in periodic potentials, the quasicrystalline potential melts the crystalline phases even when they already exist at zero potential. 相似文献

The diffusion behaviour of a Brownian particle in a crystal with randomly distributed topological defects is analyzed by means of the continuum theory of defects combined with the theory of diffusion on manifolds. A path-integral representation of the diffusion process is used for the calculation of cumulants of the particle position averaged over a defect ensemble. For a random distribution of disclinations the problem of Brownian motion reduces to a known random-drift problem. Depending on the properties of the disclination ensemble, this yields various types of subdiffusional behaviour. In a random array of parallel screw dislocations one finds a normal, but anisotropic, diffusion behaviour of the mean-square displacement. Moreover, the process turns out to be non-Gaussian, and reveals long-time tails in the higher-order cumulants.Dedicated to Professor Herbert Wagner on the occasion of his 60th birthday 相似文献

Universality and diversity in a phonon-transmission histogram of isotope-disordered carbon nanotubes
Universal fluctuations in phonon transmission and other features of phonon-transmission histograms are investigated by performing numerical simulations of coherent-phonon transport in isotope-disordered carbon nanotubes. Interestingly, the phonon-transmission fluctuation in the diffusive regime is universal, irrespective of the average phonon transmission, the tube chirality, and the concentrations, and masses of isotopes. We also find that the histogram, which has a Gaussian distribution in the diffusive regime, has a log-normal distribution in the localization regime. 相似文献

We study the transition from stochasticity to determinism
in calcium oscillations via diffusive coupling of individual cells that are
modeled by stochastic simulations of the governing reaction-diffusion
equations. As expected, the stochastic solutions gradually converge to their
deterministic limit as the number of coupled cells increases. Remarkably
however, although the strict deterministic limit dictates a fully periodic
behavior, the stochastic solution remains chaotic even for large numbers of
coupled cells if the system is set close to an inherently chaotic regime. On
the other hand, the lack of proximity to a chaotic regime leads to an
expected convergence to the fully periodic behavior, thus suggesting that
near-chaotic states are presently a crucial predisposition for the
observation of noise-induced chaos. Our results suggest that chaos may exist
in real biological systems due to intrinsic fluctuations and uncertainties
characterizing their functioning on small scales. 相似文献

In the tomography representation we propose a new approach, which describes the dynamics of quantum particles by the Kolmogorov equations for non-negative propagators. To solve the Kolmogorov equations we use a diffusive Markovian random processes described by the related nonlinear stochastic Langevin equations. As a result the dynamics of quantum particles is described by the proposed numerical scheme combining both Langevin dynamics and Monte Carlo methods. We test the developed approach by applying it to the wave packet dynamics in harmonic potentials and to particle tunneling through a barrier. 相似文献

We demonstrate a Brownian motor, based on cold atoms in optical lattices, where isotropic random fluctuations are rectified in order to induce controlled atomic motion in arbitrary directions. In contrast to earlier demonstrations of ratchet effects, our Brownian motor operates in potentials that are spatially and temporally symmetric, but where spatiotemporal symmetry is broken by a phase shift between the potentials and asymmetric transfer rates between them. The Brownian motor is demonstrated in three dimensions and the noise-induced drift is controllable in our system. 相似文献

Consider a Brownian particle in three dimensions in a random environment. The environment is determined by a potential random in space and time. It is shown that at small noise the large-time behavior of the particle is diffusive. The diffusion constant depends on the environment. This work generalizes previous results for random walk in a random environment. In these results the diffusion constant does not depend on the environment. 相似文献

We study the dynamics of an overdamped paramagnetic ellipsoidal particle confined above a plane and subjected to an external
rotating magnetic field. Without magnetic forcing, the Brownian ellipsoid exhibits a crossover from a short time anisotropic
diffusion to a long time isotropic one. Application of an external static or rotating magnetic field enables controlling and
varying the crossover time depending on the field frequency and amplitude. We combine analytical results and numerical simulations
in order to explore the diffusive properties of the forced ellipsoid. 相似文献

In this work, we show thatin any finite system, the binary friction tensor for two Brownian particlescannot be directly estimated from an evaluation of the microscopic Green-Kubo formula, involving the time integral of force-force
autocorrelation functions. This pitfall is associated with a subtle inversion of the thermodynamic and long-time limits and
leads to spurious results for the estimates of the friction matrix based on molecular dynamics simulations. Starting from
a careful analysis of the coupled Langevin equations for two interacting Brownian particles, we derive a method to circumvent
these effects and extract the binary friction tensor from the correlation function matrix of the instantaneous forces exerted
by the bath particles on the fixed Brownian particles, and from the relaxation of the total momentum of the bath in afinite system. The general methodology is applied to the case of two hard or soft Brownian spheres in a bath of light particles.
Numerical estimates of the relevant correlation functions and of the resulting self and mutual components of the matrix of
friction tensors are obtained by molecular dynamics simulations for various spacings between the Brownian particles.
