Memory effects in the relaxation of the Gaussian trap model
2011
We investigate the memory effect in a simple model for glassy relaxation, a trap model with a Gaussian density of states. In this model thermal equilibrium is reached at all finite temperatures and therefore we can consider jumps from low to high temperatures in addition to the quenches usually considered in aging studies. We show that the evolution of the energy following the Kovacs-protocol can approximately be expressed as a difference of two monotonously decaying functions and thus show the existence of a so-called Kovacs hump whenever these functions are not single exponentials. It is well established that the Kovacs effect also occurs in the linear response regime and we show that mos…
Multicanonical Monte Carlo study and analysis of tails for the order-parameter distribution of the two-dimensional Ising model.
2003
The tails of the critical order-parameter distribution of the two-dimensional Ising model are investigated through extensive multicanonical Monte Carlo simulations. Results for fixed boundary conditions are reported here, and compared with known results for periodic boundary conditions. Clear numerical evidence for ‘‘fat’’ stretched exponential tails exists below the critical temperature, indicating the possible presence of fat tails at the critical temperature. Our work suggests that the true order-parameter distribution at the critical temperature must be considered to be unknown at present.
The Peregrine breather of order nine and its deformations with sixteen parameters solutions to the NLS equation
2015
Abstract We construct new deformations of the Peregrine breather ( P 9 ) of order 9 with 16 real parameters. With this method, we obtain explicitly new families of quasi-rational solutions to the NLS equation in terms of a product of an exponential depending on t by a ratio of two polynomials of degree 90 in x and t; when all the parameters are equal to 0, we recover the classical P 9 breather. We construct new patterns of different types of rogue waves as triangular configurations of 45 peaks as well as rings and concentric rings.
Dynamic Phase Diagram of the REM
2019
International audience; By studying the two-time overlap correlation function, we give a comprehensive analysis of the phase diagram of the Random Hopping Dynamics of the Random Energy Model (REM) on time-scales that are exponential in the volume. These results are derived from the convergence properties of the clock process associated to the dynamics and fine properties of the simple random walk in the $n$-dimensional discrete cube.
H-function representations for stretched exponential relaxation and non-Debye susceptibilities in glassy systems.
2001
Analytical expressions in the time and frequency domains are derived for non-Debye relaxation processes. The complex frequency-dependent susceptibility function for the stretched exponential relaxation function is given for general values of the stretching exponent in terms of H-functions. The relaxation functions corresponding to the complex frequency-dependent Cole-Cole, Cole-Davidson, and Havriliak-Negami susceptibilities are given in the time domain in terms of H-functions. It is found that a commonly used correspondence between the stretching exponent of Kohlrausch functions and the stretching parameters of Havriliak-Negami susceptibilities are not generally valid.
Kinetics of growth process controlled by convective fluctuations
2001
A model of the spherical (compact) growth process controlled by a fluctuating local convective velocity field of the fluid particles is introduced. It is assumed that the particle velocity fluctuations are purely noisy, Gaussian, of zero mean, and of various correlations: Dirac delta, exponential, and algebraic (power law). It is shown that for a large class of the velocity fluctuations, the long-time asymptotics of the growth kinetics is universal (i.e., it does not depend on the details of the statistics of fluctuations) and displays the power-law time dependence with the classical exponent $1/2$ resembling the diffusion limited growth. For very slow decay of algebraic correlations of flu…
Efficient full decay inversion of MRS data with a stretched-exponential approximation of the distribution
2012
SUMMARY We present a new, efficient and accurate forward modelling and inversion scheme for magnetic resonance sounding (MRS) data. MRS, also called surface-nuclear magnetic resonance (surface-NMR), is the only non-invasive geophysical technique that directly detects free water in the subsurface. Based on the physical principle of NMR, protons of the water molecules in the subsurface are excited at a specific frequency, and the superposition of signals from all protons within the excited earth volume is measured to estimate the subsurface water content and other hydrological parameters. In this paper, a new inversion scheme is presented in which the entire data set is used, and multi-expone…
Extracting parameters from semi-log plots of polycrystalline silicon PV modules outdoor I–V data: Double-exponential model revisited
2010
This paper presents a method for extracting physically meaningful parameters from measured I–V curves of PV modules. The 7-parameter double-exponential model is applied in the modeling. The method is based on linear fitting of semi-logarithmic plots. The paper demonstrates a new technique to estimate the series resistance of a module with high accuracy from such plots. As a result, also the reverse saturation current and the quality factor of the diffusion diode can be determined. The method is applied to outdoor I–V data from a test station with three similar, but not identical, polycrystalline-Si modules. The values of the series resistances found with this method deviate somewhat from th…
13C NMR Spin−Lattice Relaxation and Conformational Dynamics in a 1,4-Polybutadiene Melt
2001
We have performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of a melt of 1,4-polybutadiene (PBD, 1622 Da) over the temperature range 400-273 K. 13 C NMR spin-lattice relaxation times (T 1 ) and nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE) values have been measured from 357 to 272 K for 12 different resonances. The T 1 and NOE values obtained from simulation C-H vector P 2 (t) orientational autocorrelation functions were in good agreement with experiment over the entire temperature range. Analysis of conformational dynamics from MD simulations revealed that T 1 depends much less strongly on the local chain microstructure than does the mean conformational transition time. Spin-lattice relaxation for a give…
Pseudo-abelian integrals: Unfolding generic exponential case
2009
The search for bounds on the number of zeroes of Abelian integrals is motivated, for instance, by a weak version of Hilbert's 16th problem (second part). In that case one considers planar polynomial Hamiltonian perturbations of a suitable polynomial Hamiltonian system, having a closed separatrix bounding an area filled by closed orbits and an equilibrium. Abelian integrals arise as the first derivative of the displacement function with respect to the energy level. The existence of a bound on the number of zeroes of these integrals has been obtained by A. N. Varchenko [Funktsional. Anal. i Prilozhen. 18 (1984), no. 2, 14–25 ; and A. G. Khovanskii [Funktsional. Anal. i Prilozhen. 18 (1984), n…
