Transitions in non equilibrium systems

چکیده
We study numerically the transition between organized and disorganized states of three non equilibrium systems in their respective scaling regimes. The first system is the Poisson/coalesce random walk (PCRW) where the particles describe independent random walks and when two particles meet they could coalesce with probability k, otherwise, they interchange their positions. The second system is a quasi one dimensional gas, where the particles interact only by volume exclusion in presence of an external field. The last system is a one dimensional spin lattice, where the particles interact by a coupling force J in presence of an external field. From our simulations we calculate the average spacing between particles/domain borders 〈s(t)〉. We found that 〈s(t)〉 has a similar behavior in the PCRW and gas cases but it is different in the spin system. Additionally, we use the Berry-Robnik model, the Abul-Magd model and the independent interval approximation to find an analytical approximation to the spacing distribution functions p(n)(s) and the pair correlation function g(r) for these systems. In all cases the nearest neighbor distribution is well described by these models. Unfortunately this does not happen with higher spacing distribution functions and the pair correlation functions. The analytical models proposed allow us to quantify the degree of order/disorder of the system by means of a parameter q. This parameter sets the system in an organized or disorganized state.

Discontinuous Jamming Transitions in Soft Materials
Many systems in nature exhibit transitions between fluid-like states and solidlike states, or “jamming transitions”. Such transitions can be induced by changing thermodynamic quantities, such as temperature or pressure (equilibrium transitions) or by changing applied stress (non-equilibrium transitions). There is a strong theoretical foundation for understanding equilibrium phase transitions th...
متن کاملMultiplicative Noise in Non-equilibrium Phase Transitions: A tutorial
Stochastic phenomena in which the noise amplitude is proportional to the fluctuating variable itself, usually called multiplicative noise, appear ubiquitously in physics, biology, economy and social sciences. The properties of spatially extended systems with this type of stochasticity, paying special attention to the non-equilibrium phase transitions these systems may exhibit, are reviewed here...
متن کاملEquilibrium and out of equilibrium phase transitions in systems with long range interactions and in 2D flows
In self-gravitating stars, two dimensional or geophysical flows and in plasmas, long range interactions imply a lack of additivity for the energy; as a consequence, the usual thermodynamic limit is not appropriate. However, by contrast with many claims, the equilibrium statistical mechanics of such systems is a well understood subject. In this proceeding, we explain briefly the classical approa...
متن کاملIntroduction of a Novel Two-Dimensional Equation of State to Predict Gas Equilibrium Adsorption in Highly-Nonideal Systems
Abstract The accurate calculations of adsorption equilibrium for multicomponent gas systems are of great importance in many applications. In this paper, five two-dimensional equations of state 2D-EOS, i.e. Van der Waals, Eyring, Zhou-Ghasem-Robinson, Soave-Redlich-Kwong and Peng-Robinson, were examined to find out their abilities to predict adsorption equilibrium for pure and multi-component ga...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium transitions in multiscale systems with a bifurcating slow manifold
Noise-induced transitions between metastable fixed points in systems evolving on multiple time scales are analyzed in situations where the time scale separation gives rise to a slow manifold with bifurcation. This analysis is performed within the realm of large deviation theory. It is shown that these non-equilibrium transitions make use of a reaction channel created by the bifurcation structur...
متن کاملJa n 20 05 Universal scaling behavior of non - equilibrium phase transitions Sven Lübeck
Non-equilibrium critical phenomena have attracted a lot of research interest in the recent decades. Similar to equilibrium critical phenomena, the concept of universality remains the major tool to order the great variety of non-equilibrium phase transitions systematically. All systems belonging to a given universality class share the same set of critical exponents, and certain scaling functions...
