Oscillations of a highly discrete breather with a critical regime
2000
We analyze carefully the essential features of the dynamics of a stationary discrete breather in the ultimate degree of energy localization in a nonlinear Klein-Gordon lattice with an on-site double-well potential. We demonstrate the existence of three different regimes of oscillatory motion in the breather dynamics, which are closely related to the motion of the central particle in an effective potential having two nondegenerate wells. In given parameter regions, we observe an untrapped regime, in which the central particle executes large-amplitude oscillations from one to the other side of the potential barrier. In other parameter regions, we find the trapped regime, in which the central …
Importance of the crossover-current density for a vortex-glass analysis
2000
Recent experimental results obtained from transport measurements on extremely long measurement bridges [1] have questioned the validity of previous vortex-glass analyses. For electric-field windows restricted to relatively high values of E > 10 -5 V/m the dynamic exponent of the vortex-glass transition z 6, in agreement with theoretical predictions and previous experimental results. However, for extended windows (10 -1 > E > 10 -8 V/m) - while the characteristics of a vortex-glass transition are preserved - all analyses result in z ≥ 9. A combined analysis of the crossover-current density J + 0 and crossover-electric field E + 0 , which limit the critical regime of the vortex-glass transiti…
