Drug Binding, Order-Order and Order-Disorder Transitions in DNA Triple Helices

Grain boundary order-disorder transitions

The conditions for grain boundary (GB) structural transitions are determined from a diffuse interface model that incorporates structural disorder and crystallographic orientation. A graphical construction and numerical calculations illustrate the existence of a first-order GB order–disorder transition below the bulk melting point. When thermodynamic conditions permit their existence, disordered...

Kinetic pathways of order-disorder and order-order transitions in weakly segregated microstructured systems.

where cs$ rd is the order parameter, e.g., the local magnetization in magnetic systems, or the local density contrast between the two types of monomers in diblock copolymers. t is related to the distance from the order-disorder transition temperature, and the coefficients b, c, u, and y are phenomenological parameters which can be computed from more microscopic models. The last term in Eq. (1) ...

Order-disorder Transitions in a Vortex Lattice

Metastabilities across disorder-broadened first-order transitions

We discuss first-order phase transitions that are broadened by disorder, but still remain first order on the local mesoscopic level. Using vortex-matter as our paradigm, we argue that phase transitions in general can be broadened by two different causes viz. due to a distribution of the phase transition point (field or temperature) from one region of the sample to another, or due to a distribut...

asymptotic property of order statistics and sample quntile

چکیده: فرض کنید که تابعی از اپسیلون یک مجموع نامتناهی از احتمالات موزون مربوط به مجموع های جزئی براساس یک دنباله از متغیرهای تصادفی مستقل و همتوزیع باشد، و همچنین فرض کنید توابعی مانند g و h وجود دارند که هرگاه امید ریاضی توان دوم x متناهی و امیدریاضی x صفر باشد، در این صورت می توان حد حاصلضرب این توابع را بصورت تابعی از امید ریاضی توان دوم x نوشت. حالت عکس نیز برقرار است. همچنین ما با استفاده...
