We discuss 2D systems with Ising symmetry and competing interactions at different scales. In the framework of the renormalization group, we study the effect of relevant quartic interactions. In addition to the usual constant interaction term, we analyze the effect of quadrupole interactions in the self-consistent Hartree approximation. We show that in the case of a repulsive quadrupole interaction, there is a first-order phase transition to a stripe phase in agreement with the well-known Brazovskii result. However, in the case of attractive quadrupole interactions there is an isotropic-nematic second-order transition with higher critical temperature. 相似文献

We analyze by means of extensive computer simulations the out of equilibrium dynamics of Edwards-Anderson spin glasses in
d

= 6 dimensions with ±

a wide range of temperatures from T

d and 6
d models at very low temperatures we study the effects of discretization of energy levels. Strong sub-aging behaviors are found.
We argue that this is because in the times accessible to our simulations the systems are only able to probe activated dynamics
through the lowest discrete energy levels and remain trapped around nearly flat regions of the energy landscape. For temperatures

in 4

systems, even in 6

Using a time quantified Monte Carlo scheme we performed simulations of the switching time distribution of single mono-domain particles in the Stoner–Wohlfarth approximation. We considered uniaxial anisotropy and different conditions for the external applied field. The results obtained show the switching time distribution can be well described by two relaxation times, either when the applied field is parallel to the easy axis or for an oblique external field and a larger damping constant. We found that in the low barrier limit these relaxation times are in very good agreement with analytical results obtained from solutions of the Fokker–Planck equation related to this problem. When the damping is small and the applied field is oblique the shape of the distribution curves shows several peaks and resonance effects. 相似文献

We study the breakdown of fluctuation-dissipation relations between time-dependent density-density correlations and associated responses following a quench in the chemical potential in the frustrated Ising lattice gas. The corresponding slow dynamics is characterized by two well-separated time scales characterized by a constant value of the fluctuation-dissipation ratio. This result is particularly relevant since activated processes dominate the long-time dynamics of the system. 相似文献

We study the Langevin dynamics of a ferromagnetic Ginzburg-Landau
Hamiltonian with a competing long-range repulsive term in the presence
of an external magnetic field. The model is analytically solved within
the self consistent Hartree approximation for two different initial
conditions: disordered or zero field
cooled (ZFC), and fully magnetized or field
cooled (FC). To test the predictions of the approximation we develop
a suitable numerical scheme to ensure the isotropic nature of the
interactions. Both the analytical approach and the numerical simulations of
two-dimensional finite systems confirm a simple aging scenario at zero
temperature and zero field. At zero temperature a critical field h
c
is found below which the initial conditions are relevant
for the long time dynamics of the system. For h < h
c
a logarithmic
growth of modulated domains is found in the numerical simulations but
this behavior is not captured by the analytical approach which predicts
a t
1/2 growth law at T = 0. 相似文献

Particle motion of a Lennard-Jones supercooled liquid near the glass transition is studied by molecular dynamics simulations. We analyze the wave vector dependence of relaxation times in the incoherent self-scattering function and show that at least three different regimes can be identified and its scaling properties determined. The transition from one regime to another happens at characteristic length scales. The length scale associated with the onset of Fickian diffusion corresponds to the maximum size of heterogeneities in the system, and the characteristic time scale is several times larger than the alpha relaxation time. A second crossover length scale is observed, which corresponds to the typical time and length of heterogeneities, in agreement with results from four point functions. The different regimes can be traced back to the behavior of the van Hove distribution of displacements, which shows a characteristic exponential regime in the heterogeneous region before the crossover to Gaussian diffusion and should be observable in experiments. Our results show that it is possible to obtain characteristic length scales of heterogeneities through the computation of two point functions at different times. 相似文献

The main strategies against Triatoma infestans (primary vector responsible for the Chagas disease transmission) are the elimination or reduction of its abundance in homes through the application of insecticides or repellents with residual power, and environmental management through the improvement of housing. The use of plant-derived compounds as a source of therapeutic agents (i.e., essential oils from aromatic plants and their components) is a valuable alternative to conventional insecticides and repellents. Essential oil-based insect repellents are environmentally friendly and provide reliable personal protection against the bites of mosquitoes and other blood-sucking insects. This study investigates, for the first time to our knowledge, the potential repellent activity of Zuccagnia punctata essential oil (ZEO) and poly(ε-caprolactone) matrices loaded with ZEO (ZEOP) prepared by solvent casting. The analysis of its essential oil from aerial parts by GC–FID and GC-MS, MS allowed the identification of 25 constituents representing 99.5% of the composition. The main components of the oil were identified as (−)-5,6-dehydrocamphor (62.4%), alpha-pinene (9.1%), thuja-2, 4 (10)-diene (4.6%) and dihydroeugenol (4.5%). ZEOP matrices were homogeneous and opaque, with thickness of 800 ± 140 µm and encapsulation efficiency values above 98%. ZEO and ZEOP at the lowest dose (0.5% wt./wt., 96 h) showed a repellency of 33 and 73% respectively, while at the highest dose (1% wt./wt., 96 h) exhibited a repellent activity of 40 and 66 %, respectively. On the other hand, until 72 h, ZEO showed a strong repellent activity against T. infestans (88% repellency average; Class V) to both concentrations, compared with positive control N-N diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET). The essential oils from the Andean flora have shown an excellent repellent activity, highlighting the repellent activity of Zuccagnia punctata. The effectiveness of ZEO was extended by its incorporation in polymeric systems and could have a potential home or peridomiciliary use, which might help prevent, or at least reduce, Chagas’ disease transmission. 相似文献

We characterize the topology of the phase space of the Berlin-Kac spherical model in the context of the so called Topological Hypothesis, for spins lying in hypercubic lattices of dimension d. For zero external field we are able to characterize the topology exactly, up to homology. We find that, even though there is a continuum of changes in the topology of the corresponding manifolds, for d ≥ 3 there are abrupt discontinuities in some topological functions that could be good candidates to associate with the phase transitions that occur at the thermodynamic level. We show however that these changes do not coincide with the phase transitions and conversely, that no topological discontinuity can be associated to the points where the phase transitions take place. At variance with what happens in the Mean Field version of this same model, we show that these abrupt topological changes are accessible thermodynamically. We conclude that, even in short range systems, the topological mechanism does not seem to be responsible for the triggering of a phase transition. We also analyze the case of spins connected to a macroscopic number of (but not all) neighbors, and find that, similar to the results found for the fully connected version, in this case the topological hypothesis seems to hold: the phase transition coincides with an accumulation point of the topological changes present in configuration space. The question of the ensemble equivalence in the short range spherical model is also considered. 相似文献

The topological hypothesis states that phase transitions should be related to changes in the topology of configuration space. The necessity of such changes has already been demonstrated. We characterize exactly the topology of the configuration space of the short range Berlin-Kac spherical model, for spins lying in hypercubic lattices of dimension d. We find a continuum of changes in the topology and also a finite number of discontinuities in some topological functions. We show, however, that these discontinuities do not coincide with the phase transitions which happen for d > or = 3, and conversely, that no topological discontinuity can be associated with them. This is the first short range, confining potential for which the existence of special topological changes are shown not to be sufficient to infer the occurrence of a phase transition. 相似文献

Recently we have used a cellular automata model which describes the dynamics of a multi-connected network to reproduce the refractory behavior and aging effects obtained in immunization experiments performed with mice when subjected to multiple perturbations. In this paper we investigate the similarities between the aging dynamics observed in this multi-connected network and the one observed in glassy systems, by using the usual tools applied to analyze the latter. An interesting feature we show here, is that the model reproduces the biological aspects observed in the experiments during the long transient time it takes to reach the stationary state. Depending on the initial conditions, and without any perturbation, the system may reach one of a family of long-period attractors. The perturbations may drive the system from its natural attractor to other attractors of the same family. We discuss the different roles played by the small random perturbations ("noise") and by the large periodic perturbations ("immunizations").Received: 7 May 2003, Published online: 23 July 2003PACS:
