Crystal Symmetry and Time Scales
The relation between the notion of crystalline symmetry and characteristic time intervals when this symmetry could be observed is analyzed. Several time scales are shown to exist for a system of interacting particles. It is only when the observation time is much larger than the mesoscopic fluctuation time, the notion of crystalline symmetry becomes physically meaningful. The ideas are concretiz...
متن کاملFlow and evolution of ice-sucrose crystal mushes.
We study the rheology of suspensions of ice crystals at moderate to high volume fractions in a sucrose solution in which they are partially soluble, a model system for a wide class of crystal mushes or slurries. Under step changes in shear rate, the viscosity changes to a relaxed value over several minutes, in a manner well fitted by a single exponential. The behavior of the relaxed viscosity i...
متن کاملMixing Time Scales in a Supernova-Driven Interstellar Medium
We study the mixing of chemical species in the interstellar medium (ISM). Recent observations suggest that the distribution of species such as deuterium in the ISM may be far from homogeneous. This raises the question of how long it takes for inhomogeneities to be erased in the ISM, and how this depends on the length scale of the inhomogeneities. We added a tracer field to the three-dimensional...
متن کاملCrystal sizes in evolving silicic magma chambers
Crystal size distributions (CSDs) of quartz and zircon phenocrysts in individual pumice clasts from several voluminous ash-flow tuffs provide a quenched snapshot view of conditions in preclimactic magma chambers. A common feature of these CSDs is a concavedown, lognormal shape, in contrast to the reported linear CSDs in more mafic systems. This feature is interpreted to be a general result of s...
متن کاملMagma mixing enhanced by bubble segregation
In order to explore the materials’ complexity induced by bubbles rising through mixing magmas, bubbleadvection experiments have been performed, employing natural silicate melts at magmatic temperatures. A cylinder of basaltic glass was placed below a cylinder of rhyolitic glass. Upon melting, bubbles formed from interstitial air. During the course of the experimental runs, those bubbles rose vi...
