ABSTRACTA study of the dynamics of the reaction front that appears in diffusion-reaction systems of the form A + B → C with initially separated reactants in the presence of quenched disorder is presented. The scaling of the width of the front w is analyzed as a function of the “disorder strength” and the dimensionality of the system. It is shown that disorder strongly affects the width exponent α, ω tα even for d ≥ 2, where the mean field approximation is known to be valid. The scaling of the nearest neighbor distance, midpoint fluctuations and concentration profiles near the center of the front, are also studied.

We have applied the Glauber and Metropolis prescriptions to investigate the stationary states of the Ising model in one and two dimensions. We have employed the formalism of the master equation to follow the evolution of the system towards the stationary states. Although the Glauber and Metropolis transition rates lead the system to the same equilibrium states for the Ising model in the Monte Carlo simulations, we show that they can predict different results if we disregard the correlations between spins. The critical temperature of the one-dimensional Ising model cannot even be found by using the Metropolis algorithm and the mean field approximation. However, taking into account only correlations between nearest neighbor spins, the resulting stationary states become identical for both Glauber and Metropolis transition rates.

Beg Model

We theoretically investigate the fcc(110) surfaces with missing row reconstructions induced by adatoms using the Blume–Emmery–Griffith (BEG) model. In the model, Kij is introduced to denote interactions between surface atoms and Jij to describe interactions between dipoles. The investigation by the mean field approximation has predicted that there appear modulated phases on the surfaces as the next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) and the nearest-neighbor (NN) interactions along the [001] direction become competitive. In this study, Monte Carlo simulations are performed to confirm the prediction. A correlation function defined by concentration operators in wave vector q space is calculated. The results show that the concentration modulations appear. The temperature versus the ratio of the NNN interaction K2 to the NN interaction K1 phase diagram is obtained. The possible features of the modulated phases in experiments are discussed.

Motivated by recent developments in the experimental study of ultracold atoms in graphene-like honeycomb optical lattices, we investigate superconductivity of the attractive Kane-Mele-Habbard (KMH) model with the next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) hoping at half filling. The mean-field approximation is used to study the phase diagram which interpolates the trivial and the non-trivial topological states. It is shown that: (a) when the NNN hoping is taken into account, one has to introduce two mean-field gap equations for the two sublattices, instead of a single gap when the NNN hopping is neglected, and (b) in the non-trivial topological region the phase diagram with the NNN hopping is significantly different compared to the phase diagram calculated previously, but without the NNN term. We also discuss the superconducting instability of the attractive KMH model that is driven by condensation of Cooperons.

This work studies on thermodynamic properties of ultra-thin magnetic films within the framework of a transverse Ising model. The equations for free energy, entropy and specific heat of spin system are obtained by using the mean field approximation. We also analyze the effect of the next nearest neighbor interaction on the critical temperature, the layer magnetization and the specific heat of thin films.

Basic Equations

The combined effect of an imposed rotation and magnetic field on convective transfer in a horizontal Boussinesq layer of fluid heated from below is studied in the mean field approximation. The basic equations are derived by a variational technique and their solutions are then found over a wide range of conditions, in the case of free boundaries, by numerical and analytic techniques, in particular by asymptotic and perturbation methods. The results obtained by the different techniques are shown to be in excellent agreement. As for the linear theory, the calculations predict that the simultaneous presence' of a magnetic field and rotation may produce conflicting tendencies.

We use the linear sigma model coupled to quarks to compute the effective potential beyond the mean field approximation, including the contribution of the ring diagrams at finite temperature and baryon density. We determine the model couplings and use them to study the phase diagram in the baryon chemical potential-temperature plane and to locate the Critical End Point.
