Ferroelectricity and Charge Ordering in Quasi One-Dimensional Organic Conductors

Serguei Brazovskii 1, 2 x, France (2006) The family of molecular conductors TMTTF/TMTSF-X demonstrates almost all known electronic phases in parallel with a set of weak structural modifications of anion ordering and mysterious structureless transitions. Only in early 2000’s their nature became elucidated by discoveries of a huge anomaly in the dielectric permittivity and by the NMR evidences […]

Factorised Steady States in Mass Transport Models on an Arbitrary Graph

M. R. Evans 1, 2, Satya N. Majumdar 3, R. K. P. Zia 4 Journal of Physics A 39 (2006) 4859-4873 We study a general mass transport model on an arbitrary graph consisting of $L$ nodes each carrying a continuous mass. The graph also has a set of directed links between pairs of nodes through which a stochastic portion of mass, chosen

Expansion dynamics of a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate

S. Giovanazzi 1, P. Pedri 2, L. M.N.B.F. Santos 3, A. Griesmaier 1, M. Fattori 1, T. Koch 1, J. Stuhler 1, T. Pfau 1 Physical Review A: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics 74 (2006) 013621 Our recent measurements on the expansion of a chromium dipolar condensate after release from an optical trapping potential are in good agreement with an exact solution of the hydrodynamic equations for dipolar Bose gases. We report

Exact solution of a model of time-dependent evolutionary dynamics in a rugged fitness landscape

Satya N. Majumdar 2, David S. Dean 1 Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment (2006) L07001 A simplified form of the quasispecies model of biological evolution is solved via a mapping onto a random flux model whose asymptotic behavior can be described in terms of a random walk. The statistics of the number of changes of the dominant species

Exact asymptotic expansions for the cylindrical Poisson-Boltzmann equation

G. Tellez 1, E. Trizac 2, 3 Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment 1 (2006) P06018 The mathematical theory of integrable Painleve/Toda type systems sheds new light on the behavior of solutions to the Poisson-Boltzmann equation for the potential due to a long rod-like macroion. We investigate here the case of symmetric electrolytes together with that of 1:2 and

Energy fluctuations in vibrated and driven granular gases

P. Visco 1, 2, A. Puglisi 1, A. Barrat 1, F. van Wijland 1, 3, E. Trizac 2 European Physical Journal B 51 (2006) 377 We investigate the behavior of energy fluctuations in several models of granular gases maintained in a non-equilibrium steady state. In the case of a gas heated from a boundary, the inhomogeneities of the system play a predominant role. Interpreting the total kinetic

Dynamics of a tracer granular particle as a non-equilibrium Markov process

Andrea Puglisi 1, Paolo Visco 1, 2, Emmanuel Trizac 2, Frederic van Wijland 1, 3 Physical Review E: Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics 73 (2006) 021301 The dynamics of a tracer particle in a stationary driven granular gas is investigated. We show how to transform the linear Boltzmann equation describing the dynamics of the tracer into a master equation for a continuous Markov process.

Dynamics below the depinning threshold

Alejandro B. Kolton 1, Alberto Rosso 2, Thierry Giamarchi 1, Werner Krauth 3 Physical Review Letters 97 (2006) 057001 We study the steady-state low-temperature dynamics of an elastic line in a disordered medium below the depinning threshold. Analogously to the equilibrium dynamics, in the limit T->0, the steady state is dominated by a single configuration which is occupied with probability one. We develop
