Diffusion of magnetotactic bacterium in rotating magnetic field

2011

Swimming trajectory of a magnetotactic bacterium in a rotating magnetic field is a circle. Random reversals of the direction of the bacterium motion induces a random walk of the curvature center of the trajectory. In assumption of the distribution of the switching events according to the Poisson process the diffusion coefficient is calculated in dependence on the frequency of the rotating field and the characteristic time between the switching events. It is confirmed by the numerical simulation of the random walk of the bacterium in the rotating magnetic field.

Geometry and time scale of the rotational dynamics in supercooled toluene

1998

Multidimensional deuteron NMR provides powerful tools for studying molecular reorientation in supercooled liquids. We present results on selectively deuterated toluene-${d}_{5},$ which may be one of the molecularly most simple van der Waals glass formers. From two-time correlation functions the time scale of reorientation was obtained slightly above the calorimetric glass transition temperature. The applied stimulated echo method provides a geometry parameter that, in analogy to $q$-dependent scattering experiments, allows one to investigate the geometry of the elementary rotational process. Continuous time random walk computer simulations were used for the interpretation of the data. It is…

Strongly super-Poisson statistics replaced by a wide-pulse Poisson process: The billiard random generator

2021

Abstract In this paper we present a study on random processes consisting of delta pulses characterized by strongly super-Poisson statistics and calculate its spectral density. We suggest a method for replacing a strongly super-Poisson process with a wide-pulse Poisson process, while demonstrating that these two processes can be set in such a way to have similar spectral densities, the same mean values, and the same correlation times. We also present a billiard system that can be used to generate random pulse noise of arbitrary statistical properties. The particle dynamics is considered in terms of delta and wide pulses simultaneously. The results of numerical experiments with the billiard s…

The Wigner Distribution of Sum-of-Cissoids and Sum-of-Chirps Processes for the Modelling of Stationary and Non-Stationary Mobile Channels

2016

This paper concerns the time-frequency analysis of stationary and non-stationary multipath flat fading channels. For the modelling of stationary multipath fading channels, we use a sum-of-cisoids (SOCi) process, while the non-stationary channel is modelled by a sum-of-chirps (SOCh) process that captures the time-variant Doppler effect caused by speed variations of the mobile station. For the time-frequency analysis, we apply the concept of the Wigner distribution. Closed-form solutions are provided for the Wigner distribution of SOCi and SOCh processes. It is shown that the obtained Wigner distributions can be expressed by the sum of an auto-term representing the true Doppler power spectral…

Griffiths phase manifestation in disordered dielectrics

2000

We predict the existence of Griffith phase in the dielectrics with concentrational crossover between dipole glass (electric analog of spin glass) and ferroelectricity. The peculiar representatives of above substances are $KTaO_3:Li$, $Nb$, $Na$ or relaxor ferroelectrics like $Pb_{1-x}La_xZr_{0.65}Ti_{0.35}O_3$. Since this phase exists above ferroelectric phase transition temperature (but below that temperature for ordered substance), we call it "para-glass phase". We assert that the difference between paraelectric and para-glass phase of above substances is the existence of clusters (inherent to "ordinary" Griffiths phase in Ising magnets) of correlated dipoles. We show that randomness play…

Scattering from concentration fluctuations in polymer blends: A monte carlo investigation

1989

The collective scattering function Scoll( $$\vec q$$ ), which describes light (neutron-, x-ray) scattering under wavevector $$\vec q$$ , is obtained from Monte Carlo simulations for a symmetrical polymer mixture. The polymers are modelled by self-avoiding walks ofN A=NB=N steps on a simple cubic lattice, where a fractionφ V of sites is left vacant, and an attractive energye occurs if two neighboring sites are taken by the same kind of monomer. Spinodal curves are estimated from linear extrapolation of S coll −1 (0) vs.e/k B T, whereT is the temperature. Also the single chain structure factor is obtained and the de Gennes random phase approximation (RPA) can thus be tested. Unexpectedly, str…

Low-energy fixed points of random Heisenberg models

2002

The effect of quenched disorder on the low-energy and low-temperature properties of various two- and three-dimensional Heisenberg models is studied by a numerical strong disorder renormalization group method. For strong enough disorder we have identified two relevant fixed points, in which the gap exponent, omega, describing the low-energy tail of the gap distribution, P(Delta) ~ Delta^omega is independent of disorder, the strength of couplings and the value of the spin. The dynamical behavior of non-frustrated random antiferromagnetic models is controlled by a singlet-like fixed point, whereas for frustrated models the fixed point corresponds to a large spin formation and the gap exponent …

Universality in disordered systems: The case of the three-dimensional random-bond Ising model

2010

We study the critical behavior of the $d=3$ Ising model with bond randomness through extensive Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling techniques. Our results indicate that the critical behavior of the random-bond model is governed by the same universality class as the site- and bond-diluted models, clearly distinct from that of the pure model, thus providing a complete set of universality in disordered systems.

Active Brownian Motion Models and Applications to Ratchets

2008

We give an overview over recent studies on the model of Active Brownian Motion (ABM) coupled to reservoirs providing free energy which may be converted into kinetic energy of motion. First, we present an introduction to a general concept of active Brownian particles which are capable to take up energy from the source and transform part of it in order to perform various activities. In the second part of our presentation we consider applications of ABM to ratchet systems with different forms of differentiable potentials. Both analytical and numerical evaluations are discussed for three cases of sinusoidal, staircase-like and Mateos ratchet potentials, also with the additional loads modeled by…

MULTIFRACTAL ELECTRONIC WAVE FUNCTIONS IN THE ANDERSON MODEL OF LOCALIZATION

1992

Investigations of the multifractal properties of electronic wave functions in disordered samples are reviewed. The characteristic mass exponents of the multifractal measure, the generalized dimensions and the singularity spectra are discussed for typical cases. New results for large 3D systems are reported, suggesting that the multifractal properties at the mobility edge which separates localized and extended states are independent of the microscopic details of the model.
