Comparison between the fCCZ4 and BSSN formulations of Einstein equations in spherical polar coordinates
2015
Recently, we generalized a covariant and conformal version of the Z4 system of the Einstein equations using a reference metric approach, that we denote as fCCZ4. We successfully implemented and tested this approach in a 1D code that uses spherical coordinates and assumes spherical symmetry, obtaining from one to three orders of magnitude reduction of the Hamiltonian constraint violations with respect to the BSSN formulation in tests involving neutron star spacetimes. In this work, we show preliminary results obtained with the 3D implementation of the fCCZ4 formulation in a fully 3D code using spherical polar coordinates.
The relaxation-time limit in the quantum hydrodynamic equations for semiconductors
2006
Abstract The relaxation-time limit from the quantum hydrodynamic model to the quantum drift–diffusion equations in R 3 is shown for solutions which are small perturbations of the steady state. The quantum hydrodynamic equations consist of the isentropic Euler equations for the particle density and current density including the quantum Bohm potential and a momentum relaxation term. The momentum equation is highly nonlinear and contains a dispersive term with third-order derivatives. The equations are self-consistently coupled to the Poisson equation for the electrostatic potential. The relaxation-time limit is performed both in the stationary and the transient model. The main assumptions are…
Theory of non-equilibrium critical phenomena in three-dimensional condensed systems of charged mobile nanoparticles.
2014
A study of 3d electrostatic self-assembly (SA) in systems of charged nanoparticles (NPs) is one of the most difficult theoretical problems. In particular, the limiting case of negligible or very low polar media (e.g. salt) concentration, where the long-range NP interactions cannot be reduced to commonly used effective short-range (Yukawa) potentials, remains unstudied. Moreover, the present study has demonstrated that unlike the Debye–Huckel theory, a complete screening of the charges in SA kinetics (dynamic SA) is not always possible. Generally speaking, one has to take into account implicitly how each NP interacts with all other NPs (the true long-range interactions). Traditional theoreti…
Numerical study of a multiscale expansion of the Korteweg de Vries equation and Painlev\'e-II equation
2007
The Cauchy problem for the Korteweg de Vries (KdV) equation with small dispersion of order $\e^2$, $\e\ll 1$, is characterized by the appearance of a zone of rapid modulated oscillations. These oscillations are approximately described by the elliptic solution of KdV where the amplitude, wave-number and frequency are not constant but evolve according to the Whitham equations. Whereas the difference between the KdV and the asymptotic solution decreases as $\epsilon$ in the interior of the Whitham oscillatory zone, it is known to be only of order $\epsilon^{1/3}$ near the leading edge of this zone. To obtain a more accurate description near the leading edge of the oscillatory zone we present a…
London equation of state for a quantum-hard-sphere system
1994
The London analytical interpolation equation between zero and packing densities for the ground-state energy of a many-boson hard-sphere system is corrected for the reduced mass of a pair of particles in a ``sphere-of-influence'' picture. It is thus brought into good agreement with computer simulations and with experimental results extrapolated out to close packing.
Electron Induced Massive Dynamics of Magnetic Domain Walls
2019
We study the dynamics of domain walls (DWs) in a metallic, ferromagnetic nanowire. We develop a Keldysh collective coordinate technique to describe the effect of conduction electrons on rigid magnetic structures. The effective Lagrangian and Langevin equations of motion for a DW are derived. The DW dynamics is described by two collective degrees of freedom: position and tilt-angle. The coupled Langevin equations therefore involve two correlated noise sources, leading to a generalized fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT). The DW response kernel due to electrons contains two parts: one related to dissipation via FDT, and another `inertial' part. We prove that the latter term leads to a mass …
Laser-driven quantum magnonics and terahertz dynamics of the order parameter in antiferromagnets
2017
The impulsive generation of two-magnon modes in antiferromagnets by femtosecond optical pulses, so-called femto-nanomagnons, leads to coherent longitudinal oscillations of the antiferromagnetic order parameter that cannot be described by a thermodynamic Landau-Lifshitz approach. We argue that this dynamics is triggered as a result of a laser-induced modification of the exchange interaction. In order to describe the oscillations we have formulated a quantum mechanical description in terms of magnon pair operators and coherent states. Such an approach allowed us to} derive an effective macroscopic equation of motion for the temporal evolution of the antiferromagnetic order parameter. An impli…
Coulomb effects in three-body reactions with two charged particles
1978
We present the details of a novel approach to the treatment of Coulomb effects in atomic and nuclear reactions of the three-body type in which two of the particles are charged. Based on three-body integral equations the formalism allows the practical calculation of elastic, inelastic, rearrangement, and breakup processes with full inclusion of the Coulomb repulsion or attraction in a mathematically correct way. No restrictions need to be made concerning the form of the short-range interactions between the three pairs. A particular virtue of our method lies in the fact that it corroborates, and gives precise meaning to, the intuitively anticipated conception of how to describe such reactions.
Faddeev fixed-center approximation to theNK̄Ksystem and the signature of aN*(1920)(1/2+) state
2011
We perform a calculation for the three body $N \bar{K} K$ scattering amplitude by using the fixed center approximation to the Faddeev equations, taking the interaction between $N$ and $\bar{K}$, $N$ and $K$, and $\bar{K}$ and $K$ from the chiral unitary approach. The resonant structures show up in the modulus squared of the three body scattering amplitude and suggest that a $N\bar{K}K$ hadron state can be formed. Our results are in agreement with others obtained in previous theoretical works, which claim a new $N^*$ resonance around 1920 MeV with spin-parity $J^P=1/2^+$. The existence of these previous works allows us to test the accuracy of the fixed center approximation in the present pro…
Indicators of Errors for Approximate Solutions of Differential Equations
2014
Error indicators play an important role in mesh-adaptive numerical algorithms, which currently dominate in mathematical and numerical modeling of various models in physics, chemistry, biology, economics, and other sciences. Their goal is to present a comparative measure of errors related to different parts of the computational domain, which could suggest a reasonable way of improving the finite dimensional space used to compute the approximate solution. An “ideal” error indicator must possess several properties: efficiency, computability, and universality. In other words, it must correctly reproduce the distribution of errors, be indeed computable, and be applicable to a wide set of approxi…
