Independent ion migration in suspensions of strongly interacting charged colloidal spheres
1999
We report on sytematic measurements of the low frequency conductivity in aequous supensions of highly charged colloidal spheres. System preparation in a closed tubing system results in precisely controlled number densities between 1E16/m3 and 1E19/m^3 (packing fractions between 1E-7 and 1E-2) and electrolyte concentrations between 1E-7 and 1E-3 mol/l. Due to long ranged Coulomb repulsion some of the systems show a pronounced fluid or crystalline order. Under deionized conditions we find s to depend linearily on the packing fraction with no detectable influence of the phase transitions. Further at constant packing fraction s increases sublinearily with increasing number of dissociable surfac…
Phase diagram and structure of colloid-polymer mixtures confined between walls
2006
The influence of confinement, due to flat parallel structureless walls, on phase separation in colloid-polymer mixtures, is investigated by means of grand-canonical Monte Carlo simulations. Ultra-thin films, with thicknesses between $D=3-10$ colloid diameters, are studied. The Asakura-Oosawa model [J. Chem. Phys. 22, 1255 (1954)] is used to describe the particle interactions. To simulate efficiently, a ``cluster move'' [J. Chem. Phys. 121, 3253 (2004)] is used in conjunction with successive umbrella sampling [J. Chem. Phys. 120, 10925 (2004)]. These techniques, when combined with finite size scaling, enable an accurate determination of the unmixing binodal. Our results show that the critica…
Glass transition for dipolar hard spheres: A mode-coupling approach
1998
Abstract We apply the self-consistent mode-coupling equations, which were recently derived for molecular liquids, to a system of dipolar hard spheres. Making use of the direct correlation function in a mean spherical approximation and with a restriction of the rotational quantum number 1 to zero and one, we find three different phases in the η—T phase space. η and T denote the packing fraction and the temperature respectively. There is one phase where both the transitional degrees of freedom (TDOFs) and the orientational degrees of freedom (ODOFs) are ergodic (liquid), another phase with frozen TDOFs and ergodic ODOFs, and a third phase where TDOFs and ODOFs are frozen (glass). The dynamica…
Finite temperature phase diagram of a polarized Fermi gas in an optical lattice
2007
We present phase diagrams for a polarized Fermi gas in an optical lattice as a function of temperature, polarization, and lattice filling factor. We consider the Fulde-Ferrel-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO), Sarma or breached pair (BP), and BCS phases, and the normal state and phase separation. We show that the FFLO phase appears in a considerable portion of the phase diagram. The diagrams have two critical points of different nature. We show how various phases leave clear signatures to momentum distributions of the atoms which can be observed after time of flight expansion.
Dynamic Self-assembly of Non-Brownian Spheres.
2017
International audience; Granular self-assembly of confined non-Brownian spheres under gravity is studied by Molecular Dynamics simulations. Starting from a disordered phase, dry or cohesive spheres organize, by vibrational an-nealing into BCT or FCC structures, respectively. During the self-assembling process, isothermal and isodense points are observed. The existence of such points indicates that both granular temperature and packing fraction undergo an inversion process. Around the isothermal point, a sudden growth of beads having the maximum coordination number takes place. We show by a density fluctuation analysis that a transition form a disordered phase to a crystalline structure may …
The density of coronal plasma in active stellar coronae
2004
We have analyzed high-resolution X-ray spectra of a sample of 22 active stars observed with the High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer on {\em Chandra} in order to investigate their coronal plasma density. Densities where investigated using the lines of the He-like ions O VII, Mg XI, and Si XIII. While Si XIII lines in all stars of the sample are compatible with the low-density limit, Mg XI lines betray the presence of high plasma densities ($> 10^{12}$ cm$^{-3}$) for most of the sources with higher X-ray luminosity ($> 10^{30}$ erg/s); stars with higher $L_X$ and $L_X/L_{bol}$ tend to have higher densities at high temperatures. Ratios of O VII lines yield much lower densities …
X‐Ray Spectroscopy of the Unsteady Quiescent Corona of AD Leonis withChandra
2004
We present the analysis and interpretation of an observation of the flare star AD Leo (dM3e) with Chandra/LETG. The high resolution X-ray spectrum allowed us to infer the plasma emission measure distribution (EMD) vs. temperature, and the abundances of individual elements in the corona of this magnetically-active star, during a typical state characterized by significant variability but no large flaring event. We have also measured plasma densities at various temperatures using spectroscopic diagnostics provided by He-like triplets and Fe XXI lines. We show that the present EMD is similar to those previously obtained from EUVE spectra during quiescent and flaring states, confirming the long-…
Multi-Resolution Analysis and Fractional Quantum Hall Effect: More Results
2009
In a previous paper we have proven that any multi-resolution analysis of $L^2(\R)$ produces, for even values of the inverse filling factor and for a square lattice, a single-electron wave function of the lowest Landau level (LLL) which, together with its (magnetic) translated, gives rise to an orthonormal set in the LLL. We have also discussed the inverse construction. In this paper we simplify the procedure, clarifying the role of the kq-representation. Moreover, we extend our previous results to the more physically relevant case of a triangular lattice and to odd values of the inverse filling factor. We also comment on other possible shapes of the lattice as well as on the extension to ot…
Multi-Resolution Analysis and Fractional Quantum Hall Effect: an Equivalence Result
2001
In this paper we prove that any multi-resolution analysis of $\Lc^2(\R)$ produces, for some values of the filling factor, a single-electron wave function of the lowest Landau level (LLL) which, together with its (magnetic) translated, gives rise to an orthonormal set in the LLL. We also give the inverse construction. Moreover, we extend this procedure to the higher Landau levels and we discuss the analogies and the differences between this procedure and the one previously proposed by J.-P. Antoine and the author.
Determination of the electron’s mass from g -factor experiments on 12 C 5+ and 16 O 7+
2003
Abstract We present a derivation of the electron’s mass from our experiment on the electronic g factor in 12C5+ and 16O7+ together with the most recent quantum electrodynamical predictions. The value obtained from 12C5+ is me=0.0005485799093(3) u, that from oxygen is me=0.0005485799092(5) u. Both values agree with the currently accepted one within 1.5 standard deviations but are four respectively two-and-a-half times more precise. The contributions to the uncertainties of our values and perspectives for the determination of the fine-structure constant α by an experiment on the bound-electron g factor are discussed.
