Fractal to nonfractal phase transition in the dielectric breakdown model.
نویسنده
چکیده
A fast method is presented for simulating the dielectric-breakdown model using iterated conformal mappings. Numerical results for the dimension and for corrections to scaling are in good agreement with the recent renormalization group prediction of an upper critical eta(c) = 4, at which a transition occurs between branching fractal clusters and one-dimensional nonfractal clusters.

Tip splittings and phase transitions in the dielectric breakdown model: mapping to the diffusion-limited aggregation model.
We show that the fractal growth described by the dielectric breakdown model exhibits a phase transition in the multifractal spectrum of the growth measure. The transition takes place because the tip splitting of branches forms a fixed angle. This angle is eta dependent but it can be rescaled onto an "effectively" universal angle of the diffusion-limited aggregation branching process. We derive ...
متن کاملDielectric breakdown model for composite materials.
This paper addresses the problem of dielectric breakdown in composite materials. The dielectric breakdown model was generalized to describe dielectric breakdown patterns in conductor-loaded composites. Conducting particles are distributed at random in the insulating matrix, and the dielectric breakdown propagates according to new rules to take into account electrical properties and particle siz...
متن کاملInhomogeneous eigenmode localization, chaos, and correlations in large disordered clusters
Statistical and localization properties of dipole eigenmodes ~plasmons! of fractal and random nonfractal clusters are investigated. The problem is mathematically equivalent to the quantum-mechanical eigenproblem for vector ~spin-1! particles with a dipolar hopping amplitude in the same cluster. In fractal clusters, individual eigenmodes are singular on the small scale and their intensity strong...
متن کاملLaplacian Fractal Growth in Media with Quenched Disorder
We analyze the combined effect of a Laplacian field and quenched disorder for the generation of fractal structures with a study, both numerical and theoretical, of the quenched dielectric breakdown model (QDBM). The growth dynamics is shown to evolve from the avalanches of invasion percolation (IP) to the smooth growth of Laplacian fractals, i. e. diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) and the die...
متن کاملBetweenness centrality of fractal and nonfractal scale-free model networks and tests on real networks.
We study the betweenness centrality of fractal and nonfractal scale-free network models as well as real networks. We show that the correlation between degree and betweenness centrality C of nodes is much weaker in fractal network models compared to nonfractal models. We also show that nodes of both fractal and nonfractal scale-free networks have power-law betweenness centrality distribution P(C...
