Simple model for nonexponential relaxation in complex dynamics.
نویسنده
چکیده
The nonexponential relaxation occurring in complex dynamics manifested in a wide variety of systems is analyzed through a simple model of diffusion in phase space. It is found that the inability of the system to find its equilibrium state in any time scale becomes apparent in an effective temperature field, which leads to a hierarchy of relaxation times responsible for the slow relaxation phenomena.

Universal nonexponential relaxation: Complex dynamics in simple liquids.
The dynamics of the noble-gas liquids underlies that of all liquids making them an important prototypical model system. Using optical Kerr-effect spectroscopy we show that for argon, krypton, and xenon, both the librational and diffusional contributions to the spectrum are surprisingly complex. The diffusional relaxation appears as a stretched-exponential, such as widely found in studies of str...
متن کاملSlow energy relaxation of macromolecules and nanoclusters in solution.
Many systems in the realm of nanophysics from both the living and the inorganic world display slow relaxation kinetics of energy fluctuations. In this Letter we propose a general explanation for such a phenomenon, based on the effects of interactions with the solvent. Within a simple harmonic model of the system fluctuations, we demonstrate that the inhomogeneity of coupling to the solvent of t...

Correlation functions describing relaxation processes in proteins and other complex molecular systems are known to exhibit a nonexponential decay. The simulation study presented here shows that fractional Brownian dynamics is a good model for the internal dynamics of a lysozyme molecule in solution. We show that both the dynamic structure factor and the associated memory function fit well the c...
متن کاملSandpile Model for Relaxation in Complex Systems
The relaxation in complex systems is in general nonexponential. After an initial rapid decay the system relaxes slowly following a long time tail. In the present paper a sandpile modelation of the relaxation in complex systems is analysed. Complexity is introduced by a process of avalanches in the Bethe lattice and a feedback mechanism which leads to slower decay with increasing time. In this w...
