Theory and modeling of polarization switching in ferroelectrics

2005

Abstract Kinetics of polarization response in ferroelectrics is reproduced within Langevin, Fokker–Planck and imaginary time Schrodinger equation techniques for energy functionals of growing complexity modeling an assembly of coarse grained particles with attractive first neighbor interaction. Symplectic integration based numerical approach captures dynamic hysteresis, polarization switching, and spatially extended stationary polarization. Solution of relevant nonstationary problem is adapted to large scale parallel computing.

A new approach to interacting fields

1974

A model for a description of interaction, which involves particle creation, can be given as follows: (1) A smooth finite-dimensional manifoldM constitutes the configuration space of some interacting system. (2) The concept of an interacting field is formulated in terms of two-component objects which consist of a physical and a topological field component which are ‘derived’ fromM. (3) Interaction is described in terms of the topological linking number of the topological field components and in terms of the intrinsic field equations.

Maxwell Theory as a Classical FieldTheory

2012

Hamilton’s variational principle and the Lagrangian mechanics that rests on it are exceedingly successful in their application to mechanical systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom. Hamilton’s principle characterizes the physically realizable orbits, among the set of all possible orbits, as being the critical elements of the action integral. The Lagrangian function, although not an observable on its own, is not only useful in deriving the equations of motion but is also an important tool for identifying symmetries of the theory and constructing the corresponding conserved quantities, via Noether’s theorem.

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.

The Numerical Simulation of Relativistic Fluid Flow with Strong Shocks

2001

In this review we present and analyze the performance of a Go-dunov type method applied to relativistic fluid flow. Our model equations are the corresponding Euler equations for special relativistic hydrodynamics. By choosing an appropriate vector of unknowns, the equations of special relativistic fluid dynamics (RFD) can be written as a hyperbolic system of conservation laws. We give a complete description of the spectral decomposition of the Jacobian matrices associated to the fluxes in each spatial direction, (see (Donat et al., 1998), for details), which is the essential ingredient of the Godunov-type numerical method we propose in this paper. We also review a numerical flux formula tha…

A Second Order Accurate Kinetic Relaxation Scheme for Inviscid Compressible Flows

2013

In this paper we present a kinetic relaxation scheme for the Euler equations of gas dynamics in one space dimension. The method is easily applicable to solve any complex system of conservation laws. The numerical scheme is based on a relaxation approximation for conservation laws viewed as a discrete velocity model of the Boltzmann equation of kinetic theory. The discrete kinetic equation is solved by a splitting method consisting of a convection phase and a collision phase. The convection phase involves only the solution of linear transport equations and the collision phase instantaneously relaxes the distribution function to an equilibrium distribution. We prove that the first order accur…

Asymptotic structure factor for the two-component Ginzburg-Landau equation

1992

We derive an analytic form for the asymptotic time-dependent structure factor for the two-component Ginzburg-Landau equation in arbitrary dimensions. This form is in reasonable agreement with results from numerical simulations in two dimensions. A striking feature of our analytic form is the absence of Porod's law in the tail. This is a consequence of the continuous symmetry of the Hamiltonian, which inhibits the formation of sharp domain walls.

Forces Between Thin Coils With Parallel Axes Using Bessel Functions

2013

A method based on Bessel functions is presented for calculating the forces between combinations of thin coils with parallel axes. The coaxial case is solved in closed form in terms of elliptic integrals, whereas for the noncoaxial case the force components are expressed both as integrals of Bessel functions and as integrals of complete elliptic integrals. The results for the coaxial case have been compared with calculations in the literature with excellent agreement. The numerical results presented for the noncoaxial have been cross-checked by comparing the two methods. These methods can also be applied to current loops, disk coils, thick noncoaxial cylindrical coils, and various combinatio…

Universality classes for wetting in two-dimensional random-bond systems

1991

Interface-unbinding transitions, such as those arising in wetting phenomena, are studied in two-dimensional systems with quenched random impurities and general interactions. Three distinct universality classes or scaling regimes are investigated using scaling arguments and extensive transfer-matrix calculations. Both the critical exponents and the critical amplitudes are determined for the weak- and the strong-fluctuation regime. In the borderline case of the intermediate-fluctuation regime, the asymptotic regime is not accessible to numerical simulations. We also find strong evidence for a nontrivial delocalization transition of an interface that is pinned to a line of defects.
