Autonomous coupled oscillators with hyperbolic strange attractors

We propose several examples of smooth low-order autonomous dynamical systems which have apparently uniformly hyperbolic attractors. The general idea is based on the use of coupled self-sustained oscillators where, due to certain amplitude nonlinearities, successive epochs of damped and excited oscillations alternate. Because of additional, phase sensitive coupling terms in the equations, the transfer of excitation from one oscillator to another is accompanied by a phase transformation corresponding to some chaotic map (in particular, an expanding circle map or Anosov map of a torus). The first example we construct is a minimal model possessing an attractor of the Smale-Williams type. It is a four-dimensional system composed of two oscillators. The underlying amplitude equations are similar to those of the predator-pray model. The other three examples are systems of three coupled oscillators with a heteroclinic cycle. This scheme presents more variability for the phase manipulations: in the six-dimensional system not only the Smale-Williams attractor, but also an attractor with Arnold cat map dynamics near a two-dimensional toral surface, and a hyperchaotic attractor with two positive Lyapunov exponents, are realized.

Measurements of motionally averaged heteronuclear dipolar couplings in MAS NMR using R-type recoupling

A novel MAS NMR approach is presented for the determination of heteronuclear dipolar couplings in unoriented materials. The technique is based on the proton-detected local field (PDLF) protocol, and achieves dipolar recoupling by R-type radio-frequency irradiation. The experiment, which is called R-PDLF spectroscopy, is demonstrated on solid and liquid-crystalline systems. For mobile systems, it is shown that the R-PDLF scheme provides better dipolar resolution as compared to techniques combining conventional separated local field (SLF) spectroscopy with R-type recoupling.     

Shape waves in 2D Josephson junctions: exact solutions and time dilation

We predict a new class of excitations propagating along a Josephson vortex in two-dimensional Josephson junctions. These excitations are associated with the distortion of a Josephson vortex line and have an analogy with shear waves in solid mechanics. Their shapes can have an arbitrary profile, which is retained when propagating. We derive a universal analytical expression for the energy of arbitrary shape excitations, investigate their influence on the dynamics of a vortex line, and discuss conditions where such excitations can be created. Finally, we show that such excitations play the role of a clock for a relativistically moving Josephson vortex and suggest an experiment to measure a time dilation effect analogous to that in special relativity.     

On q-Deformed $${{\mathfrak{gl}}_{\ell+1}}$$-Whittaker Function III

In this paper, we identify q-deformed \mathfrakgl_l+1{\mathfrak{gl}_{\ell+1}}-Whittaker functions with a specialization of the Macdonald polynomials. This provides a representation of q-deformed \mathfrakgl_l+1{\mathfrak{gl}_{\ell+1}}-Whittaker functions in terms of the Demazure characters of affine Lie algebra [^(\mathfrakgl)]_l+1{\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}}_{\ell+1}}. We also define a system of dual Hamiltonians for q-deformed \mathfrakgl_l+1{\mathfrak{gl}_{\ell+1}}-Toda chains and give a new integral representation for the q-deformed \mathfrakgl_l+1{\mathfrak{gl}_{\ell+1}}-Whittaker functions. Finally, we represent the q-deformed \mathfrakgl_l+1{\mathfrak{gl}_{\ell+1}}-Whittaker function as a matrix element of a quantum torus algebra.     

High-frequency magnetoimpedance in nanocomposites

The transmission of millimeter-range electromagnetic waves (30–50 GHz) through a magnetic nanocomposite thin film exhibiting tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) is calculated. The relative change of transmission coefficient in an applied magnetic field due to the magnetorefractive effect is approximately linear with TMR and strongly depends on nanocomposite resistivity and film thickness. The obtained results are in a good agreement with experiment.     

Dynamics of nanoparticle agglomeration in a magnetic fluid in a varying magnetic field

It is found that the dependence of the magnetic nanoparticle agglomerate length in a magnetic fluid on the applied magnetic field has three characteristic segments: a substantial increase in the agglomerate length with the magnetic field in the range of weak fields, a segment with an insignificant increase in the average length of agglomerates upon an increase in the field, and a sharp increase in the agglomerate length with a further increase in the field. It is shown that the agglomerate length increases in the range of strong magnetic fields due to a decrease in the spacing between adjacent agglomerates down to their complete coalescence. The total number of agglomerates decreases thereby.
