Toroidal Configurations as Stable Solitons
Previously we have proposed that in certain relativistic quantum field theories knotlike configurations may appear as stable solitons. Here we present a detailed investigation of the simplest knotted soliton, the torus-shaped unknot.
متن کاملSpace Frames with Multiple Stable Configurations
This paper is concerned with beamlike space frames that include a large number of bistable elements, and exploit the bistability of the elements to obtain structures with multiple stable configurations. By increasing the number of bistable elements, structures with a large number of different configurations can be designed. A particular attraction of this approach is that it produces structures...
متن کاملEmerging Stable Configurations in Cellular Automata
This paper considers how simple and limited entities, such as Cellular Automata (CA), can organize themselves giving rise to stable and complex behaviors. We begin by introducing Cellular Automata, simple discrete computational models useful to describe the evolution of a system following simple rules. Then we propose a possible architecture to implement a class of CA onto a Unix system. In par...
متن کاملStable configurations of confined cold ionic systems.
The simple structures formed by charged particles confined in a harmonic potential have been investigated and the configurations of minimum potential energy were identified. For fewer than 12 particles these form polyhedrons centered on the origin. For structures with 13-22 particles one sits in the middle, for 23-26 particles two are in the interior, etc., until a third shell starts forming at...
متن کاملStable single-atom contacts of zinc whiskers
We report low-temperature measurements of the electrical transport properties of single-atom and tunnel contacts of Zn. We present a variant of the mechanically controllable break-junction technique that comprises a whisker as the central part. This technique combines the possibility to fabricate reproducibly single-atom contacts and well-characterized electronic and lattice properties of the e...
