分形基底上刻蚀模型动力学标度行为的 数值模拟研究

为探讨分形基底结构对生长表面标度行为的影响, 本文采用Kinetic Monte Carlo(KMC)方法模拟了刻蚀模型(etching model)在谢尔宾斯基箭头和蟹状分形基底上刻蚀表面的动力学行为. 研究表明,在两种分形基底上的刻蚀模型都表现出很好的动力学标度行为, 并且满足Family-Vicsek标度规律. 虽然谢尔宾斯基箭头和蟹状分形基底的分形维数相同, 但模拟得到的标度指数却不同, 并且粗糙度指数 α与动力学指数z也不满足在欧几里得基底上成立的标度关系α+z=2. 由此可以看出, 标度指数不仅与基底的分形维数有关, 而且和分形基底的具体结构有关.

Simultaneous studies of the conductivity and the clasticity exponents on Sierpinski carpet made of metal and voids are reported. The elasticity exponent is =0.29±0.01, the conductivity exponent =0.22±0.01. It is obvious that they belong to different universality classes.

The Critical Behaviour of Conductivity for Some Two-Dimensional Fractals

The critical behaviour of conductivity for some two-dimensional fractals is studied by experiments. The results show that the conductivity exponent is fractal dimensionality dependent with exponential scaling behaviour but is fractal material independent.     

Quantum transport phenomena in disordered electron systems with spin–orbit coupling in two dimensions and below

Electron transport phenomena in disordered electron systems with spin–orbit coupling in two dimensions and below are studied numerically. The scaling hypothesis is checked by analyzing the scaling of the quasi-1D localization length. A logarithmic increase of the mean conductance is also confirmed. These support the theoretical prediction that the two-dimensional metal in systems with spin–orbit coupling has a perfect conductivity. Transport through a Sierpinski carpet is also reported.     

Difference in the dynamic scaling behavior of droplet size distribution for coalescence under pulsed and continuous vapor delivery

Dynamic scaling behavior of the droplet size distribution in the coalescence regime for growth by pulsed laser deposition is studied experimentally and by computer simulation, and the same is compared with that for continuous vapor deposition. The scaling exponent for pulsed deposition is found to be (1.2 +/- 0.1), which is significantly lower as compared to that for continuous deposition (1.6 +/- 0.1). Simulations reveal that this dramatic difference can be traced to the large fraction of multiple droplet coalescence under pulsed vapor delivery. A possible role of the differing diffusion fields in the two cases is also suggested.     

Elastic properties of a disordered continuum of regular fractal structure: Self-consistent approach and finite-element method simulations

Macromolecular structures, as well as aggregation of filler in polymer-based composites, often may be described properly as fractals. Scaling behavior of the elastic moduli of a modeled fractal, the Sierpinski carpet, was the subject of this study. Sheng and Tao [1] and Patlazhan [2] found that, in the case of voids in on elastic host, axial and shear moduli exhibit distinct scaling dependencies on the size of the system. Nevertheless, it is widely accepted that moduli of random isotropic fractals (percolation clusters) scale with the same exponents. Explanation of the discrepancy is one of the main targets of the paper. The self-consistent approach and position space renormalization group technique (PSRG) have been applied for this goal. The mapping, corresponding to PSRG, was constructed numerically using the finite-element method (FEM) in the cases of voids and rigid inclusions. The self-consistent approach gives scaling behavior with exponents of values of about 0.11, independent of the modulus and type of inclusion, at developed stages of the fractal. It has been shown that mappings of PSRG on the plane, for two ratios of three independent moduli, have stable fixed points. This means that different elastic moduli exhibit scaling behavior with the same exponents (0.29 for voids and 0.17 for rigid squares) for developed fractal structure. The discrepancy in the exponent values obtained in the previous simulations is caused by the analysis of the initial stages of the structure. We believe that analogous results are valid for the wide class of self-similar fractals, and the dimension is the main parameter that governs the exponents and fixed point values.     

Surface structures of equilibrium restricted curvature model on two fractal substrates

With the aim to probe the effects of the microscopic details of fractal substrates on the scaling of discrete growth models, the surface structures of the equilibrium restricted curvature(ERC) model on Sierpinski arrowhead and crab substrates are analyzed by means of Monte Carlo simulations. These two fractal substrates have the same fractal dimension df, but possess different dynamic exponents of random walk zrw. The results show that the surface structure of the ERC model on fractal substrates are related to not only the fractal dimension df, but also to the microscopic structures of the substrates expressed by the dynamic exponent of random walk zrw. The ERC model growing on the two substrates follows the well-known Family–Vicsek scaling law and satisfies the scaling relations 2α + df≈ z ≈ 2zrw. In addition, the values of the scaling exponents are in good agreement with the analytical prediction of the fractional Mullins–Herring equation.     

Damage-spreading dynamic scaling for the ising model on the sierpinski gasket fractal

We study the relaxation towards equilibrium of the ferromagnetic Ising model on the Sierpinski gasket, which is a fractal lattice. We do this by performing Monte Carlo simulations, based on the heat-bath dynamics, and investigating the time evolution of the Hamming distance between two different configurations of the model. Starting with an initial damage created in all lattice sites, we calculate the average values of two quantities that characterize the relaxation process: the nonlinear damage relaxation time (tau), and the time for all sites to be undamaged at least once (tau(c)). We find that tau diverges, at low temperatures, with a dynamical exponent z which depends linearly on the inverse of temperature, as predicted by a generalized scaling theory developed by Henley. There is a complete breakdown of scaling for tau(c).     

Universal local versus unified global scaling laws in the statistics of seismicity

The unified scaling law for earthquakes, proposed by Bak, Christensen, Danon and Scanlon, is shown to hold worldwide, as well as for areas as diverse as Japan, New Zealand, Spain or New Madrid. The scaling functions that account for the rescaled recurrence-time probability densities show a power-law behavior for long times, with a universal exponent about (minus) 2.2. Another decreasing power law governs short times, but with an exponent that may change from one area to another. This is in contrast with a local, time-homogenized version of Bak et al.'s procedure, which seems to present a universal scaling behavior.     

Phase order in one-dimensional piecewise linear discontinuous map

The phase order in a one-dimensional(1 D) piecewise linear discontinuous map is investigated. The striking feature is that the phase order may be ordered or disordered in multi-band chaotic regimes, in contrast to the ordered phase in continuous systems. We carried out an analysis to illuminate the underlying mechanism for the emergence of the disordered phase in multi-band chaotic regimes, and proved that the phase order is sensitive to the density distribution of the trajectories of the attractors. The scaling behavior of the net direction phase at a transition point is observed. The analytical proof of this scaling relation is obtained. Both the numerical and analytical results show that the exponent is 1, which is controlled by the feature of the map independent on whether the system is continuous or discontinuous. It extends the universality of the scaling behavior to systems with discontinuity. The result in this work is important to understanding the property of chaotic motion in discontinuous systems.

ac Conductivity of mixed spinel NiAl0.7Cr0.7Fe0.6O4

ac Conductivity measurements are carried out across the metal to insulator transition in NiAl_0.7Cr_0.7Fe_0.6O₄. The low frequency data is analyzed using Summerfield scaling theory for hopping conductivity. The exponent of the scaling behavior has significantly different values in the conducting and insulating regimes. The hopping frequency and the zero frequency conductivity are found to increase with temperature, slowly in the metallic regime and rapidly in the insulating regime.     

Roughening of fracture surfaces: the role of plastic deformation

Post mortem analysis of fracture surfaces of ductile and brittle materials on the microm-mm and the nm scales, respectively, reveal self-affine cracks with anomalous scaling exponent zeta approximately 0.8 in three dimensions and zeta approximately 0.65 in two dimensions. Attempts to use elasticity theory to explain this result failed, yielding exponent zeta approximately 0.5 up to logarithms. We show that when the cracks propagate via plastic void formations in front of the tip, followed by void coalescence, the void positions are positively correlated to yield exponents higher than 0.5.     

Effect of coarse-graining on detrended fluctuation analysis

Several studies have investigated the scaling behavior in naturally occurring biological and physical processes using techniques such as detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). Data acquisition is an inherent part of these studies and maps the continuous process into digital data. The resulting digital data is discretized in amplitude and time, and shall be referred to as coarse-grained realization in the present study. Since coarse-graining precedes scaling exponent analysis, it is important to understand its effects on scaling exponent estimators such as DFA. In this brief communication, k-means clustering is used to generate coarse-grained realizations of data sets with different correlation properties, namely: anti-correlated noise, long-range correlated noise and uncorrelated noise. It is shown that the coarse-graining can significantly affect the scaling exponent estimates. It is also shown that scaling exponent can be reliably estimated even at low levels of coarse-graining and the number of the clusters required varies across the data sets with different correlation properties.     

Fluctuations and simple chaotic dynamics

We describe the effects of fluctuations on the period-doubling bifurcation to chaos. We study the dynamics of maps of the interval in the absence of noise and numerically verify the scaling behavior of the Lyapunov characteristic exponent near the transition to chaos. As previously shown, fluctuations produce a gap in the period-doubling bifurcation sequence. We show that this implies a scaling behavior for the chaotic threshold and determine the associated critical exponent. By considering fluctuations as a disordering field on the deterministic dynamics, we obtain scaling relations between various critical exponents relating the effect of noise on the Lyapunov characteristic exponent. A rule is developed to explain the effects of additive noise at fixed parameter value from the deterministic dynamics at nearby parameter values.

Non-Gaussian fluctuations resulting from power-law trapping in a lipid bilayer

Anomalous diffusion in lipid bilayers is usually attributed to viscoelastic behavior. We compute the scaling exponent of relative fluctuations of the time-averaged mean square displacement in a lipid bilayer, by using a molecular dynamics simulation. According to the continuous time random walk theory, this exponent indicates non-Gaussian behavior caused by a power-law trapping time. Our results provide the first evidence that a lipid bilayer has not only viscoelastic properties but also trapping times distributed according to a power law.     

Inequalities among static and dynamic critical-point exponents

The mode-mode coupling theoretical expression for the decay rate of order-parameter fluctuations in simple fluids near the critical point is evaluated with the aid of the recently extended Ornstein-Zernike theory. This gives that ψ?ν for the critical-point exponent ψ which characterize the behavior of the thermal conductivity. Also, the results for sound-wave absorption and dispersion near the gas-liquid critical point need not depend on a single reduced frequency variable since scaling may be violated.     

分形基底上受限固-固模型动力学性质的数值模拟研究

为了探讨非完整基底结构对生长表面动力学行为的影响,本文在具有相同分形维数而不同谱维数的谢尔宾斯基箭头和蟹状分形基底上对受限固-固(restricted solid-on-solid,RSOS)模型的生长过程进行了大量的数值模拟研究.通过计算表面宽度和饱和表面极值高度的统计行为对生长表面的动力学行为进行了分析.结果表明,分形基底结构对生长表面的动力学行为具有显著的影响.尽管在两种基底上受限固-固模型的表面宽度均表现出很好的动力学标度行为,仍然满足Family-Vicsek标度规律,但由此计算得到的动力学标度指数并不相同.饱和生长表面的极值高度并不能满足三种常用的极值统计分布,即Weibull,Gumbel和Frechet分布,而是能很好地符合Asym2Sig分布.
