We overview the physics of a granular mixture subject to horizontal oscillations,
recently investigated via experiments and molecular dynamics simulations.
First we discuss the rich phenomenology exhibited by this system, which encompasses
both segregation and dynamical instabilities.
Then we show that the phenomenology can be explained
via an effective interaction approach, by which the driven,
non-thermal, granular mixture in mapped into a monodispersed thermal
system of particles interacting via an effective potential.
After determining the effective interaction we discuss its
microscopic origin and investigate how it induces the observed
phenomenology. Finally, as much as in thermal fluids, from the
effective interaction we derive a Cahn-Hilliard dynamics equation,
which appears to capture the essential characteristics of the dynamics
of the granular mixture. 相似文献

This paper presents the study of density fluctuations in a model for vibrated granular media. Their microscopic origin is shown to be linked to the microscopic disorder in grains packing. Varying vibrations amplitude and duration, several regimes are found for density relaxation. Its power spectrum is well described by power laws. 相似文献

From a suitably defined correlation function we evaluate the strong coupling expansion for the mass gap of an euclidean version of the O(N) models in 2D. Good agreement is found for N = 0, 1 and 2 with the known values of the critical temperature and for N ? 3 with the continuum mass gap as evaluated in an hamiltonian approach. Another test of universality based on the use of an asymmetric lattice also yields good results. An analogous discussion for the CPN?1 models is performed. 相似文献

We present a novel model for calculating the bit error rate in optical communication systems in the case of on-off keying intensity modulation and optically preamplified direct detection. The model accounts for the intersymbol interference and is based on the Laguerre photon-count probability distribution predicted by photodetection theory. For a non-return-to-zero modulation format an accurate value of the sensitivity for a quantum-limited receiver of 33.9 photons/bit is obtained. 相似文献

By detailed molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations of a model system we show that granular materials at rest can be described as thermodynamics systems. First, we show that granular packs can be characterized by few parameters, as much as fluids or solids. Then, in a second independent step, we demonstrate that these states can be described in terms of equilibrium distributions which coincide with the statistical mechanics of powders first proposed by Edwards. We also derive the system equation of state as a function of the "configurational temperature," its new intensive thermodynamic parameter. 相似文献

We theoretically study the creep of vortex matter in superconductors. The low temperature experimental phenomenology, previously interpreted in terms of "quantum tunneling" of vortices, is reproduced by Monte Carlo simulations of a purely "classical" vortex model. We demonstrate that a nonzero creep rate in the limit of vanishing temperature is to be expected in systems with slow relaxations as a consequence of their off-equilibrium evolution in a complex free energy landscape. 相似文献

The present paper develops a Statistical Mechanics approach to the inherent states of glassy systems and granular materials
by following the original ideas proposed by Edwards for granular media. We consider three lattice models (a diluted spin glass,
a system of hard spheres under gravity and a hard-spheres binary mixture under gravity) introduced to describe glassy and
granular systems. They are evolved using a “tap dynamics” analogous to that of experiments on granular media. We show that
the asymptotic states reached in such a dynamics are not dependent on the particular sample history and are characterized
by a few thermodynamical parameters. We assume that under stationarity these systems are distributed in their inherent states
satisfying the principle of maximum entropy. This leads to a generalized Gibbs distribution characterized by new “thermodynamical”
parameters, called “configurational temperatures” (related to Edwards compactivity for granular materials). Finally, we show
by Monte Carlo calculations that the average of macroscopic quantities over the tap dynamics and over such distribution indeed
coincide. In particular, in the diluted spin glass and in the system of hard spheres under gravity, the asymptotic states
reached by the system are found to be described by a single “configurational temperature”. Whereas in the hard-spheres binary
mixture under gravity the asymptotic states reached by the system are found to be described by two thermodynamic parameters,
coinciding with the two configurational temperatures which characterize the distribution among the inherent states when the
principle of maximum entropy is satisfied under the constraint that the energies of the two species are independently fixed.

In mammals, dosage compensation of X linked genes in female cells is achieved by inactivation of one of their two X chromosomes which is randomly chosen. The earliest steps in X-chromosome inactivation (XCI), namely, the mechanism whereby cells count their X chromosomes and choose between two equivalent X chromosomes, remain mysterious. Starting from the recent discovery of X chromosome colocalization at the onset of X-chromosome inactivation, we propose a statistical mechanics model of XCI, which is investigated by computer simulations and checked against experimental data. Our model describes how a "blocking factor" complex is self-assembled and why only one is formed out of many diffusible molecules, resulting in a spontaneous symmetry breaking in the binding to two identical chromosomes. These results are used to derive a scenario of biological implications. 相似文献
