Summary for Theory of the Ferroelectric Phase in Organic Conductors in Relation to Experiments

Serguei Brazovskii 1 Journal de Physique IV Colloque 114 (2004) 9 Mysterious high temperature structureless transitions in (TMTTF)2X compounds have been discovered in mid 80’s (Coulon, Lawersanne,vet al), but left unexplained and abandoned, together with other warnings from structural effects (Moret, Pouget, et al), with dramatic consequences for the whole field. Recently their nature has been identified […]

Quantum Mechanics of a Particle with Two Magnetic Impurities

Stefan Mashkevich 1, Jan Myrheim 2, Stéphane Ouvry 3 Physics Letters A 330 (2004) 41-47 A two-dimensional quantum mechanical system consisting of a particle coupled to two magnetic impurities of different strengths, in a harmonic potential, is considered. Topological boundary conditions at impurity locations imply that the wave functions are linear combinations of two-dimensional harmonics. A number of low-lying states are

Pinning and Sliding of Driven Elastic Systems: from Domain Walls to Charge Density Waves

Serguei Brazovskii 1, Thomas Nattermann 1 Advances In Physics 53 (2004) 177-252 The review is devoted to the theory of collective and it local pinning effects in various disordered non-linear driven systems. Although the emphasis is put on charge and spin density waves and magnetic domain walls, the theory has also applications to flux lines and lattices thereof, dislocation

Persistence in nonequilibrium surface growth

M. Constantin 1, 2, Chandan Dasgupta 1, 3, Punyindu Chatraphorn 1, 4, Satya Majumdar 5, 6, S. Das Sarma 1 Physical Review E: Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics 69 (2004) 061608 Persistence probabilities of the interface height in (1+1)- and (2+1)-dimensional atomistic, solid-on-solid, stochastic models of surface growth are studied using kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, with emphasis on models that belong to the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) universality

Persistence Exponents and the Statistics of Crossings and Occupation Times for Gaussian Stationary Processes

George M. C. A. Ehrhardt 1, Satya Majumdar 2, 3, Alan J. Bray 1 Physical Review E: Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics 69 (2004) 016106 We consider the persistence probability, the occupation-time distribution and the distribution of the number of zero crossings for discrete or (equivalently) discretely sampled Gaussian Stationary Processes (GSPs) of zero mean. We first consider the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process,
