Lattice Type

ABSTRACTOne to three layer cyclohexane films confined between mica-like surfaces are studied to elucidate changes in the films' lattice-type. The laterally confined film is in equilibrium with the bulk fluid that is well into the liquid regime of its phase diagram. Monte Carlo simulations are conducted at constant chemical potential, temperature, and V=Ah, where A is the lateral area and h is the separation between the walls. One and two layers of fluid freeze as h increases. The one layer fluid has a triangular lattice, while the two layer fluid exhibits first a square lattice and then a triangular lattice with increasing surface separation. In contrast to previous studies, solidlike order is induced primarily by the strong fluid-solid interaction and is largely a function of pore width. A shift in the relative alignment of the surfaces perturbs the solidlike fluid structure but does not cause the sudden shear melting transition associated with epitaxial alignment of the fluid atoms with the surface. There is a correlation between the shear stress calculated in the computer experiments and that measured in Surface Forces Apparatus experiments.

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.

Second Order Nonlinearity

We have studied the excitation second-order nonlinearity through a triangular lattice perforated gold film instead of square lattice in many papers. Under the excitation of surface plasmas resonance effect, the second order nonlinearity exists in the noncentrosymmetric split-ring resonators arrays. Reflection of fundamental frequency wave through a triangular lattice perforated gold film is obtained. We also described the second harmonic conversion efficiencies in the second order nonlinear optical process with the spectra. Moreover, the electric field distributions of fundamental frequency above the gold film region are calculated. The light propagation through the holes results in the enhancement of the second order nonlinearity including second harmonic generation as well as the sum (difference) frequency generation.

Gas Molecules

A model is proposed for the physical adsorption of two layers of gas molecules at the sites of a regular lattice with lateral interaction between nearest-neighbor molecules. The model is more complicated than the two-dimensional Ising model. However, for a particular relation among the three energy parameters and at a particular value of the chemical potential the model simplifies considerably. For the simplified model and a square lattice of adsorption sites, high- and low-temperature series expansions for the specific heat have been obtained and the transition temperature estimated.

Ring Exchange

We present the linear spin wave theory calculation of the superfluid phase of a hard-core boson J-K model with nearest neighbour exchange J and four-particle ring-exchange K at half filling on the triangular lattice, as well as the phase diagrams of the system at zero and finite temperatures. A similar analysis has been done on a square lattice (Schaffer et al. Phys. Rev. B, 80, 014503 (2009)). We find similar behaviour to that of a square lattice but with different spin wave values of the thermodynamic quantities. We also find that the pure J model (XY model), which has a well-known uniform superfluid phase with an ordered parameter [Formula: see text] at zero temperature is quickly destroyed by the inclusion of negative-K ring-exchange interactions, favouring a state with a (4π/3, 0) ordering wavevector. We further study the behaviour of the finite-temperature Kosterlitz–Thouless phase transition (TKT) in the uniform superfluid phase, by forcing the universal quantum jump condition on the finite-temperature spin wave superfluid density. We find that for K < 0, the phase boundary monotonically decreases to T = 0 at K/J = −4/3, where a phase transition is expected and TKT decreases rapidly, while for positive K, TKT reaches a maximum at some K ≠ 0. It has been shown on a square lattice using quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations that for small K > 0 away from the XY point, the zero-temperature spin stiffness value of the XY model is decreased (Melko and Sandvik. Ann. Phys. 321, 1651 (2006)). Our result seems to agree with this trend found in QMC simulations for two-dimensional systems.

We present results for the generating functions of single fully-directed walks on the triangular lattice, enumerated according to each type of step and weighted proportional to the area between the walk and the surface of a half-plane (wall), and the number of contacts made with the wall. We also give explicit formulae for total area generating functions, that is when the area is summed over all configurations with a given perimeter, and the generating function of the moments of heights above the wall (the first of which is the total area). These results generalise and summarise nearly all known results on the square lattice: all the square lattice results can be obtaining by setting one of the step weights to zero. Our results also contain as special cases those that already exist for the triangular lattice. In deriving some of the new results we utilise the Enumerating Combinatorial Objects (ECO) and marked area methods of combinatorics for obtaining functional equations in the most general cases. In several cases we give our results both in terms of ratios of infinite q-series and as continued fractions.

Abstract In this paper, we apply the scatterers of cylindrical rings to a two-dimensional photonic crystals (PCs) slab. The effects of the number of layers, the thickness, the index, and the height of the cylindrical layers on the photonic band gaps (PBGs) of such slab with different lattice arrangements are studied. It turns out that our new structure helps to obtain a large range of the PBGs. The maximum bandwidth is obtained with the value of 0.1497 (2πc/a). The PBGs are moved to the lower frequencies with the augment of thickness, refractive index, and height. The choice of height, refractive index, and thickness is a trade-off, and adding the number of dielectric layers is not always positively correlated with the area of PBGs. In addition, in the W1 waveguide with a triangular lattice layout, we obtain a slow light of 0.026×c. Compared with the square lattice, the triangular lattice is more suitable for slowing down the speed of light.

Abstract. The 2003 Gibbs thermodynamic potential function represents a very accurate, compact, consistent and comprehensive formulation of equilibrium properties of seawater. It is expressed in the International Temperature Scale ITS-90 and is fully consistent with the current scientific pure water standard, IAPWS-95. Source code examples in FORTRAN, C++ and Visual Basic are presented for the numerical implementation of the potential function and its partial derivatives, as well as for potential temperature. A collection of thermodynamic formulas and relations is given for possible applications in oceanography, from density and chemical potential over entropy and potential density to mixing heat and entropy production. For colligative properties like vapour pressure, freezing points, and for a Gibbs potential of sea ice, the equations relating the Gibbs function of seawater to those of vapour and ice are presented.

A triangular lattice model for pattern formation by core-shell particles at fluid interfaces is introduced and studied for the particle to core diameter ratio equal to 3. Repulsion for overlapping shells and attraction at larger distances due to capillary forces are assumed. Ground states and thermodynamic properties are determined analytically and by Monte Carlo simulations for soft outer- and stiffer inner shells, with different decay rates of the interparticle repulsion. We find that thermodynamic properties are qualitatively the same for slow and for fast decay of the repulsive potential, but the ordered phases are stable for temperature ranges, depending strongly on the shape of the repulsive potential. More importantly, there are two types of patterns formed for fixed chemical potential—one for a slow and another one for a fast decay of the repulsion at small distances. In the first case, two different patterns—for example clusters or stripes—occur with the same probability for some range of the chemical potential. For a fixed concentration, an interface is formed between two ordered phases with the closest concentration, and the surface tension takes the same value for all stable interfaces. In the case of degeneracy, a stable interface cannot be formed for one out of four combinations of the coexisting phases, because of a larger surface tension. Our results show that by tuning the architecture of a thick polymeric shell, many different patterns can be obtained for a sufficiently low temperature.
