Properties of Proton Transfer in Hydrogen-Bonded Systems at Finite Temperature

The properties of proton transfer along hydrogen-bonded molecular systems are studied at finite temperature. The dynamic equations of the proton transport along the systems are obtained by using a completely quantummechanics method. From the dynamic equations and its soliton solutions we find out specific heat arising from the motionof solitons in the systems with finite temperature and the critical temperature of the soliton in the protein molecules,which is about 318 K. This shows that we can continuously study some biological phenomena in the living systems bythis model.     

QUANTUM-MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF PROTON TRANSPORT IN THE HYDROGEN-BONDED MOLECULAR SYSTEMS

The dynamic equations of the proton transport along the hydrogen bonded molecular systems have been obtained by using completely quantum-mechanical method to be based on new Hamiltonian and model we proposed. Some quantum-mechanical features of the proton-solitons have also been given in such a case. The alternate motion of two defects resulting from proton transfer occurred in the systems can be explained by the results. The results obtained show that the proton-soliton has corpuscle feature and obey classical equations of motion, while the free soliton moves in uniform velocity along the hydrogen bonded chains.     

Influences of Structure Disorder and Temperature on Properties of Proton Conductivity in Hydrogen-Bond Molecular Systems

The dynamic properties of proton conductivity along hydrogen-bonded molecular systems,for example,ice crystal,with structure disorder or damping and finite temperatures exposed in an externally applied electric-field have been numerically studied by Runge-Kutta way in our Soliton model.The results obtained show that the proton-soliton is very robust against the structure disorder including the fluctuation of the force constant and disorder in the sequence of masses and thermal perturbation and damping of medium,the velocity of its conductivity increases with increasing of the externally applied electric-field and decreasing of the damping coefficient of medium,but the proton-soliton disperses for quite great fluctuation of the force constant and damping coefficient.In the numerical simulation we find that the proton-soliton in our model is thermally stable in a large region of temperature of T ≤ 273 K under influences of damping and externally applied electric-field in ice crystal.This shows that our model is available and appropriate to ice.

Inhomogeneous states and the mechanism of magnetization reversal of a chain of classical dipoles

The inhomogeneous states (solitons) in a single chain of classical dipoles are studied numerically and analytically. An analytical solution to the problem is based on the long-wave approximation for dipole sums which holds for high magnetic fields perpendicular to the dipole chain. The analytical and numerical solutions are in reasonable agreement. The magnetization reversal is investigated by numerical simulation based on the Landau-Lifshitz stochastic equations. It is demonstrated that the magnetization reversal of a dipole chain at a finite temperature has a thermal activation nature and occurs through the formation of a stable phase nucleus (a soliton at the edge of the chain) and its growth (the motion of the soliton along the chain).     

Effect of electron inertia on KP solitons in a relativistic plasma

Propagation characteristics of KP solitons in a plasma with finite temperature ions drifting relativistically are investigated. With relativistically drifting ions the electron inertia is important and therefore the finite electron mass is included in the fluid equations instead of the usual Boltzmann distribution for obtaining the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation. Effect of the electron inertia and finite ion temperature is analyzed on the soliton characteristics.     

Changes of properties of the soliton with temperature under influences of structure disorder in the α-helix protein molecules with three channels

The changes of property of solitons in α-helix protein molecules with three channels under influences of fluctuations of structure parameters and thermal perturbation of medium are extensively investigated using dynamic equations in the improved theory, numerical simulation and Runge-Kutta method. In this investigation the peculiarities of the solitons are given first in the motions of short-time and long-time and its collision features at T = 0 K and biological temperature T = 300 K. This study shows that the solutions of dynamic equations are solitons, which are very stable at T = 0 and 300 K, although its amplitudes and velocity are somewhat decreased relative to that at T = 0 K, the soliton can transport over 1000 amino acid residues, its lifetime is, at least, 120 ps. Subsequently, studies are made of the changes of properties of the soliton with variations of temperature of the medium and fluctuations of structure parameters including mass sequence of amino acid residues and the coupling constant, force constant, dipole–dipole interaction, chain–chain interaction and ground state energy in the α-helix proteins. The investigations indicate that the soliton has high thermal stability and can transport along the molecular chains retaining amplitude, energy and velocity, although the fluctuations of the structure parameters and temperature of the medium increase continually. However, the solitons disperse in larger fluctuations at T = 300 K and higher temperatures than 315 K. Thus it is determined that the critical temperature of the soliton is 315 K. Finally reasons are given for the generation of high thermal stability of the soliton and the correctness of the improved model is demonstrated. It is concluded that the soliton in the improved model is very robust against structure disorder and thermal perturbation of the α-helix protein molecules at 300 K, and is a possible carrier of bio-energy transport, and the improved model is maybe a candidate for the mechanism of this transport.     

Mean-field approximation for the chiral soliton in a chiral phase transition

Using the mean-field approximation, we study the chiral soliton within the linear sigma model in a thermal vacuum. The chiral soliton equations with different boundary conditions are solved at finite temperatures and densities. The solitons are discussed before and after chiral restoration. We find that the system has soliton solutions even after chiral restoration, and that they are very different from those before chiral restoration, which indicates that the quarks are still bound after chiral restoration.     

Kinetic equation for a dense soliton gas

We propose a general method to derive kinetic equations for dense soliton gases in physical systems described by integrable nonlinear wave equations. The kinetic equation describes evolution of the spectral distribution function of solitons due to soliton-soliton collisions. Owing to complete integrability of the soliton equations, only pairwise soliton interactions contribute to the solution, and the evolution reduces to a transport of the eigenvalues of the associated spectral problem with the corresponding soliton velocities modified by the collisions. The proposed general procedure of the derivation of the kinetic equation is illustrated by the examples of the Korteweg-de Vries and nonlinear Schr?dinger (NLS) equations. As a simple physical example, we construct an explicit solution for the case of interaction of two cold NLS soliton gases.     

The Complex Geometry of Weak Piecewise Smooth Solutions of Integrable Nonlinear PDE's¶of Shallow Water and Dym Type

An extension of the algebraic-geometric method for nonlinear integrable PDE's is shown to lead to new piecewise smooth weak solutions of a class of N-component systems of nonlinear evolution equations. This class includes, among others, equations from the Dym and shallow water equation hierarchies. The main goal of the paper is to give explicit theta-functional expressions for piecewise smooth weak solutions of these nonlinear PDE's, which are associated to nonlinear subvarieties of hyperelliptic Jacobians. The main results of the present paper are twofold. First, we exhibit some of the special features of integrable PDE's that admit piecewise smooth weak solutions, which make them different from equations whose solutions are globally meromorphic, such as the KdV equation. Second, we blend the techniques of algebraic geometry and weak solutions of PDE's to gain further insight into, and explicit formulas for, piecewise-smooth finite-gap solutions. The basic technique used to achieve these aims is rather different from earlier papers dealing with peaked solutions. First, profiles of the finite-gap piecewise smooth solutions are linked to certain finite dimensional billiard dynamical systems and ellipsoidal billiards. Second, after reducing the solution of certain finite dimensional Hamiltonian systems on Riemann surfaces to the solution of a nonstandard Jacobi inversion problem, this is resolved by introducing new parametrizations. Amongst other natural consequences of the algebraic-geometric approach, we find finite dimensional integrable Hamiltonian dynamical systems describing the motion of peaks in the finite-gap as well as the limiting (soliton) cases, and solve them exactly. The dynamics of the peaks is also obtained by using Jacobi inversion problems. Finally, we relate our method to the shock wave approach for weak solutions of wave equations by determining jump conditions at the peak location.

Modulated spin waves and robust quasi-solitons in classical Heisenberg rings

We investigate the dynamical behavior of finite rings of classical spin vectors interacting via nearest-neighbor isotropic exchange in an external magnetic field. Our approach is to utilize the solutions of a continuum version of the discrete spin equations of motion (EOM) which we derive by assuming continuous modulations of spin wave solutions of the EOM for discrete spins. This continuum EOM reduces to the Landau-Lifshitz equation in a particular limiting regime. The usefulness of the continuum EOM is demonstrated by the fact that the time-evolved numerical solutions of the discrete spin EOM closely track the corresponding time-evolved solutions of the continuum equation. It is of special interest that our continuum EOM possesses soliton solutions, and we find that these characteristics are also exhibited by the corresponding solutions of the discrete EOM. The robustness of solitons is demonstrated by considering cases where initial states are truncated versions of soliton states and by numerical simulations of the discrete EOM equations when the spins are coupled to a heat bath at finite temperatures.     

A simple and direct method for generating travelling wave solutions for nonlinear equations

We propose a simple and direct method for generating travelling wave solutions for nonlinear integrable equations. We illustrate how nontrivial solutions for the KdV, the mKdV and the Boussinesq equations can be obtained from simple solutions of linear equations. We describe how using this method, a soliton solution of the KdV equation can yield soliton solutions for the mKdV as well as the Boussinesq equations. Similarly, starting with cnoidal solutions of the KdV equation, we can obtain the corresponding solutions for the mKdV as well as the Boussinesq equations. Simple solutions of linear equations can also lead to cnoidal solutions of nonlinear systems. Finally, we propose and solve some new families of KdV equations and show how soliton solutions are also obtained for the higher order equations of the KdV hierarchy using this method.     

未掺杂反式聚乙炔(CH)x中核自旋晶格弛豫-孤子-维扩散模型

Nechtschein等人报道并分析了反式聚乙炔中质子自旋晶格弛豫时间对拉摩频率ω和温度T的依赖关系。观察到了质子自旋晶格弛豫速率T₁^-1和ω^-1/2的正比关系。但是在高频段,T₁^-1∝ω^-1/2关系发生偏离,且温度越低,发生偏离的频率也越低。 本文用另一种方法对这些实验结果作了分析。首先,论证了孤子一维扩散模型的合理性。排除了质子弛豫速率∝ω^-1/2的另一种解释,即仅仅是核自旋向着静止的顺磁中心扩散。孤子能处在运动状态或静止状态。当温度降低时,发生两个效应,即越来越少的孤子处于运动状态,且运动孤子的扩散系数减小。只有扩散的孤子对所观察到的质子弛豫有贡献,而固定孤子的贡献可以忽略。其次,描述了运动孤子的一维随机行走模型,计算了它的相关函数和谱密度函数。质子自旋晶格弛豫速率是: 其中C是运动孤子的浓度,τ是运动孤子沿链跳跃时,渡越相邻位置的跳跃时间,ω是质子的拉摩频率。 这个公式揭示了质子弛豫速率的频率和温度依赖关系的主要特征。它和Nechtschein的测量结果拟合得很好。从拟合中可以得到各个温度下运动孤子的跳跃时间和相对浓度。     

Hopping Transport and Stochastic Dynamics of Electrons in Plasma Layers

We investigate the stochastic dynamics and the hopping transfer of electrons embedded into two‐dimensional atomic layers. First we formulate the quantum statistics of general atom ‐ electron systems based on the tight‐binding approximation and express ‐ following linear response transport theory ‐ the quantum‐mechanical time correlation functions and the conductivity by means of equilibrium time correlation functions. Within the relaxation time approach an expression for the effective collision frequency is derived in Born approximation, which takes into account quantum effects and dynamic effects of the atom motion through the dynamic structure factor of the lattice and the quantum dynamics of the electrons. In the last part we derive Pauli equations for the stochastic electron dynamics including nonlinear excitations of the atomic subsystem. We carry out Monte Carlo simulations and show that mean square displacements of electrons and transport properties are in a moderate to high temperature regime strongly influenced by by soliton‐type excitations and demonstrate the existence of percolation effects (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Phase jitter in periodically dispersion-managed optical transmission systems

We investigate the phase jitter in long-haul optical transmission systems with periodic dispersion management and amplification. We compare different dispersion-managed soliton systems and a conventional soliton system having the same pulse width and path-averaged dispersion. Using the variational method, we derive the ordinary differential equations for the pulse parameters perturbed by amplifier noise and hence calculate the phase jitter. We verify the analytical results by numerically solving the nonlinear Schrödinger equation using split-step Fourier algorithm. The results suggest that the reduction of nonlinear phase noise in dispersion-managed soliton systems is possible compared to a conventional soliton system. It is also revealed that the phase noise is enhanced in stronger dispersion-managed systems. We also explore the phase noise effect in dispersion-managed quasi-linear systems and find that phase jitter is mitigated in highly dispersive fibers.     

Scalar-vector topological soliton

We present classical scalar-vector equations which admit soliton solutions in three space dimensions. Exact spherical solutions are obtained which are everywhere regular and resemble charged particles of finite self-energy. The corresponding 4-current is identically conserved and leads to quantized charges. The scale of the soliton is unique and determined by boundary conditions, which also ensure its topological stability.     

Single Peak Soliton and Periodic Cusp Wave of the Generalized Schrödinger-Boussinesq Equations

In this paper, we study peakon, cuspon, smooth soliton and periodic cusp wave of the generalized Schrödinger-Boussinesq equations. Based on the method of dynamical systems, the generalized Schrödinger-Boussinesq equations are shown to have new the parametric representations of peakon, cuspon, smooth soliton and periodic cusp wave solutions. Under different parametric conditions, various sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of the above solutions are given.     

Dynamics of the Manakov Solitons in Biased Guest-Host Photorefractive Polymer

In the biased guest-host photorefractive polymer, the Manakov equations can be used to describe the optical soliton propagation and interaction. Hereby for such equations, via the Hirota method and symbolic computation, analytic soliton solutions in the bright-dark and dark-dark forms are obtained. Based on the choice of photorefractive polymer parameter and incident-optical-beam parameter, the bright-dark and dark-dark solitons as well as their interaction can occur in the polymer when the total intensity is much lower than the background illumination, and our analysis indicates that the incident light with different polarization directions influence little on the soliton propagation. γ, representing the soliton intensity far away from the soliton center, determines the appearance of bright or dark soliton under the background illumination. Through the graphic and asymptotic analysis on the two-soliton solutions along with the different γ, we find that there exist the elastic and inelastic interactions between the bright-dark solitons, while the interactions between the dark-dark solitons are always elastic.     

Stabilization of the Soliton Transported Bio-energy in Protein Molecules in the Improved Model

We study the stabilization of the soliton transported bio-energy by the dynamic equations in the improved Davydov theory from four aspects containing the feature of free motion and states of the soliton at the long-time motion and at biological temperature 300 K and behaviors of collision of the solitons by Runge-Kutta method and physical parameter values appropriate to the $\alpha$-helix protein molecules. We prove that the new solitons can move without dispersion at a constant speed retaining its shape and energy in free and long-time motions and can go through each other without scattering. If considering further influence of the temperature effect of heat bath on the soliton, it is still thermally stable at biological temperature 300 K and in a time as long as 300 ps and amino acid spacings as large as 400, which shows that the lifetime of the new soliton is at least 300 ps, which is consistent with analytic result obtained by quantum perturbation theory. These results exhibit that the new soliton is a possible carrier of bio-energy transport and the improved model is possibly a candidate for the mechanism of this transport.
