Dynamics of K-essence

چکیده

There are a number of mathematical theorems in the literature on the dynamics of cosmological models with accelerated expansion driven by a positive cosmological constant Λ or a nonlinear scalar field with potential V (quintessence) which do not assume homogeneity and isotropy from the beginning. The aim of this paper is to generalize these results to the case of k-essence models which are defined by a Lagrangian having a nonlinear dependence on the kinetic energy. In particular, Lagrangians are included where late time acceleration is driven by the kinetic energy, an effect which is qualitatively different from anything seen in quintessence models. A general criterion for isotropization is derived and used to strengthen known results in the case of quintessence.

Holographic reconstruction of the k-essence and dilaton models

We propose an holographic k-essence and dilaton models of dark energy. The correspondence between the k-essence and dilaton energy densities with the holographic density, allows the reconstruction of the potential and the fields for the k-essence and dilaton models in flat FRW background. For the proposed infrared cut-off the reconstruction was made for the two cases of the constant α: for α < ...

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of the Melting Process in Au15Ag40 Nanoalloys

In this study the operations of melting of Au15Ag40 nanoalloy have been studied using the molecular dynamic simulations through the Gupta multiparticle potential and the nonergodicity of simulations is eliminated by the multiple histogram method. The melting characteristics are determined by the analysis of variations in the potential energy. The calculations indicate that the melting of Au15Ag...
