Discrete gap breathers in a two-dimensional diatomic face-centered square lattice

In this paper we study the existence and stability of two-dimensional discrete gap breathers in a two-dimensional diatomic face-centered square lattice consisting of alternating light and heavy atoms, with on-site potential and coupling potential. This study is focused on two-dimensional breathers with their frequency in the gap that separates the acoustic and optical bands of the phonon spectrum. We demonstrate the possibility of the existence of two-dimensional gap breathers by using a numerical method. Six types of two-dimensional gap breathers are obtained, i.e., symmetric, mirror-symmetric and asymmetric, whether the center of the breather is on a light or a heavy atom. The difference between one-dimensional discrete gap breathers and two-dimensional discrete gap breathers is also discussed. We use Aubry＇s theory to analyze the stability of discrete gap breathers in the two-dimensional diatomic face-centered square lattice.

Effect of interaction and temperature on quantum phase transition in anisotropic square-octagon lattice

We investigate the effect of interaction, temperature, and anisotropic parameter on the quantum phase transitions in an anisotropic square-octagon lattice with fermions under the framework of the single band Hubbard model through using the combination of cellular dynamical mean field theory and a continuous time Monte Carlo algorithm. The competition between interaction and temperature shows that with the increase of the anisotropic parameter, the critical on-site repulsive interaction for the metal-insulator transition increases for fixed temperature. The interaction-anisotropic parameter phase diagram reveals that with the decrease of temperature, the critical anisotropic parameter for the Mott transition will increase for fixed interaction cases.

Spin-correlation function of the fully frustrated Ising model and ±J Ising spin glass on a square lattice

In this work we study the correlation function of the ground state of a two-dimensional fully frustrated Ising model as well as spin glass. The Pfaffian method is used to calculate free energy and entropy as well as the correlation function. We estimate the exponent of spin correlation function for the fully frustrated model and spin glass. In this paper an overview of the latest results on the spin correlation function is presented.

Nonlinear Waves in Two-Dimensional (2D) Square Lattice Frenkel-Kontorova (FK) System

A 2D square lattice is studied. By using the continuum approximation, we set up the differential equations of motion for an arbitrary particle in the square lattice which subjects to an external periodic substrate potential. The exact solitary waves of the system are found for special cases. We conclude that the adhesive force f and the angle between propagation directions of upper and lower layers can affect these waves.

Coexistence and Extinction Pattern of Asymmetric Cyclic Game Species in a Square Lattice

The co-evolutionary dynamics of a cyclic game system is investigated in a two-dimensional square lattice with the asymmetrical rates for three species. Different with the well-mixed system, coexistence and extinction emerge alternately in the system, where a ＂zero-one＂ behavior is robust for a small population size, whereas, the system is predominated by coexistence for a big population one. We study in detail the influence about the fluctuation to the change of the state, and find that the difference between the maximal amplitude about the fluctuation and the average intensity determines which state the system is ultimately. In addition, we introduce Ports energy to explain the reason of the ＂zero-one＂ behavior. It is shown that the average Ports energy per site is the distance to the ＂zero-one＂ behavior in the model.

Effect of Strategy-Homogeneity on the Prisoner’s Dilemma Game in a Square Lattice

We investigate the effect of strategy-homogeneity on the prisoner’s dilemma game in a square lattice. Strategy-homogeneity means that the population contains at least one connected group in which individuals maintain the same strategy at each iteration and may update according to updating rule at next iteration. The simulation results show that the introduction of strategy-homogeneity increases the cooperation in the evolutionary stable state. For any value of temptation to defect, the density of cooperators in equilibrium state increases firstly and then decreases as the level of strategy-homogeneity increases constantly, and there exists an appropriate level of strategy-homogeneity, maximizing the density of cooperators. The results may be favorable for comprehending cooperative behaviors in societies composed of connected groups with coherent strategy.

Magnetization of Nano-Size Subsystem in a Two-Dimensional Ising Square Lattice

A two-dimensional Ising square lattice is modeled as a nano-size block array to study by Monte Carlo simulation the magnetic thermal stability of nano-structure magnetic media for data storage, thereon in the blocks J1 > 0 is assigned for the interaction of a pair of nearest-neighbor spins, while 0 J0 J1 for that in regions between the blocks and (J0 + J1)/2 for the nearest-neighbor pairs with one in the block and the other one out of but near-most the block. We show that the magnetic thermal stability of the block accrues with the increase of J1 and with the decrease of J1 - J0 for a given J1, but contrarily, the anchoring ability for the initial magnetic orientation in nano-size block trails off as J1 - J0 diminish. This phenomena and size dependence of such anchoring ability are discussed in detail.

Propagation and Interaction of Edge Dislocation(Kink) in the Square Lattice

The propagation of kink or edge dislocations in the underdamped generalized two-dimensional Frenkel-Kontorova model with harmonic interaction is studied with numerical simulations. The obtained results show that exactly one line of atoms can be inserted into the lattice, which remains at standstill However, if more than one line of atoms are inserted into the lattice, then they will split into several lines with α= 1, where a presents the atoms inserted. In other words, only the kink with α= 1 is stable, while the other kinks are unstable, and will split into α =1 kinks, which remain at standstill.

Lattice Boltzmann simulation of a laminar square jet in cross flows

A three-dimensional, nineteen-velocity(D3Q19) Lattice Boltzmann Method(LBM) model was developed to simulate the fluid flow of a laminar square jet in cross flows based on the single relaxation time algorithm. The code was validated by the mathematic solution of the Poiseuille flow in a square channel, and was further validated with a previous well studied empirical correlation for the central trajectory of a jet in cross flows. The developed LBM model was found to be able to capture the dominant vortex, i.e. the Counter-rotating Vortex Pair(CVP) and the upright wake vortex. Results show that the incoming fluid in the cross flow channel was entrained into the leeside of the jet fluid, which contributes to the blending of the jet. That the spread width of the transverse jet decreases with the velocity ratio. A layer-organized entrainment pattern was found indicating that the incoming fluid at the lower position is firstly entrained into the leeside of the jet, and followed by the incoming fluid at the upper position.

Crystal growth of CeMn_(0.85)Sb_(2):Absence of magnetic order of Ce-sublattice

Single crystals of CeMn_(0.85)Sb_(2) have been successfully synthesized by using the Bi as flux.Analysis of single crystal x-ray diffraction data confirms that CeMn_(0.85)Sb_(2) crystallizes in the HfCuSi_(2)-type structure with the space group P4/nmm(No.129).In the case of H‖c,CeMn_(0.85)Sb_(2) displays a robust antiferromagnetic transition at~160 K for Mn-sublattice,and there is no sign of magnetic order regarding Ce-sublattice.In the case of the Mn-sublattice shows signs of magnetic order at 160 K and 116 K,indicating a possible spin reorientation.There is no sign of magnetic order for the Cesublattice either,but,alternating current magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal a spin glass state below 18 K in the case of H⊥c.Isothermal magnetization curves measured below magnetic order with H⊥c show saturation and even large hysteresis at 2 K,indicating the presence of a ferromagnetic component.In addition,a field-induced spin-flop transition is observed in the case of H⊥c,indicating a field-induced spin reorientation of Mn spins.Electrical resistivity measurements indicate a metallic nature for CeMn_(0.85)Sb_(2) and large anisotropy which is consistent with its quasi-two-dimensional layered structure.

Amplitude and Period Effect on Heat Transfer in an Enclosure with Sinusoidal Heating from Below Using Lattice Boltzmann Method

This work presents a simulation of the phenomena of natural convection in an enclosure with a variable heating regime by the lattice Boltzmann method(LBM).We consider a square enclosure of side H filled with air(Pr=0.71)and heated from below,with a hot portion of length L=0.8 H,by imposing a sinusoidal temperature.The unheated segments of the bottom wall are treated as adiabatic,and one of the vertical walls features a cold region,while the remaining walls remain adiabatic.The outcomes of the two-dimensional(2D)problem are depicted through isotherms,streamlines,the temperature evolution within the enclosure,and the Nusselt number.These visualizations span various amplitude values“a”in the interval[0.2,0.8],and of the period T0 for Ra=107.The amplitude and period effect on the results is evaluated and discussed.The amplitude of the temperature at the heart of the enclosure increases with the increase in amplitude.This also increases with the period(T0)of the imposed temperature,something that is not observable on the global Nusselt number.

A Solvable Decorated Ising Lattice Model

A decorated lattice is suggested and the Ising model on it with three kinds of interactions K1, K2, and K3 is studied. Using an equivalent transformation, the square decorated Ising lattice is transformed into a regular square Ising lattice with nearest-neighbor, next-nearest-nelghbor, and four-spin interactions, and the critical fixed point is found at K1 = 0.5769, K2= -0.0671, and K3 = 0.3428, which determines the critical temperature of the system. It is also found that this system and the regular square Ising lattice, and the eight-vertex model belong to the same universality class.

This paper analyzes the bubble form evolution, collapse time and dynamic character under the two dimensional press fields.

L(1, 2)-edge-labelings for lattices

For a graph G and two positive integers j and k, an m-L（j, k）-edge-labeling of G is an assignment on the edges to the set {0, 1, 2,..., m}, such that adjacent edges which receive labels differ at least by j, and edges which are distance two apart receive labels differ at least by k. The λj,k-number of G is the minimum m such that an m-L（j, k）-edge-labeling is admitted by G. In this article, the L（1, 2）-edge-labeling for the hexagonal lattice, the square lattice and the triangular lattice are studied, and the bounds for λj,k-numbers of these graphs are obtained.

QRD-BASED MULTICHANNEL ADAPTIVE LATTICEALGORITHMS FOR THE PARAMETERIDENTIFICATION PROBLEM

A pair of multichannel recursive least squares (RLS) adaptive lattice algorithms based on the order recursive of lattice filters and the superior numerical properties of Givens algorithms is derived in this paper. The derivation of the first algorithm is based on QR decomposition of the input data matrix directly, and the Givens rotations approach is used to compute the QR decomposition. Using first a prerotation of the input data matrix and then a repetition of the single channel Givens lattice algorithm, the second algorithm can be obtained. Both algorithms have superior numerical properties, particularly the robustness to wordlength limitations. The parameter vector to be estimated can be extracted directly from internal variables in the present algorithms without a backsolve operation with an extra triangular array. The results of computer simulation of the parameter identification of a two-channel system are presented to confirm efficiently the derivation.

Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Square Heaving Plates with Opening Under Forced Oscillation

The existence of the heaving plates can improve the heaving motion performance of an offshore structure significantly by providing both extra added mass and damping.In the current research,numerical investigation is carried out on the hydrodynamic characteristics of both isolated square heaving plate and double square heaving plates with opening by an immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method.The effects on hydrodynamic performance of plates due to Keulegan-Carpenter(KC)number,frequency number,opening ratio,opening distribution and spacing of plates are examined.It is found that the heaving plates with optimized opening ratio can provide additional damping compared with the plates without opening.Better hydrodynamic characteristics of double plates can be obtained with the increase of plate spacing.
