Dynamical phase transition of a periodically driven DNA.

چکیده
Replication and transcription are two important processes in living systems. To execute such processes, various proteins work far away from equilibrium in a staggered way. Motivated by this, aspects of hysteresis during unzipping of DNA under a periodic drive are studied. A steady-state phase diagram of a driven DNA is proposed which is experimentally verifiable. As a two-state system, we also compare the results of DNA with that of an Ising magnet under an asymmetrical variation of the magnetic field.

Reversible to irreversible flow transition in periodically driven vortices.
We show that periodically driven superconducting vortices in the presence of quenched disorder exhibit a transition from reversible to irreversible flow under increasing vortex density or cycle period. This type of behavior has recently been observed for periodically sheared colloidal suspensions and we demonstrate that driven vortex systems exhibit remarkably similar behavior. We also provide ...
متن کاملDynamical phase transitions in periodically driven model neurons.
Transitions between dynamical states in integrate-and-fire neuron models with periodic stimuli result from tangent or discontinuous bifurcations of a return map. We study their characteristic scaling laws and show that discontinuous bifurcations exhibit a kind of phase transition intermediate between continuous and first order. In the model-independent spirit of our analysis we show that a six-...
متن کاملRandom organization in periodically driven systems
Understanding self-organization is one of the key tasks for controlling and manipulating the structure of materials at the microand nanoscale. In general, self-organization is driven by interparticle potentials and is opposed by the chaotic dynamics characteristic of many driven non-equilibrium systems. Here we introduce a new model that shows how the irreversible collisions that generally prod...
متن کاملClassical and Quantum Dynamics of a Periodically Driven Particle in a Triangular Well
We investigate the correspondence between classical and quantum mechanics for periodically time dependent Hamiltonian systems, using the example of a periodically forced particle in a one-dimensional triangular well potential. In particular, we consider quantum mechanical Floquet states associated with resonances in the classical phase space. When the classical motion exhibits subharmonic reson...
متن کاملHyperuniform density fluctuations and diverging dynamic correlations in periodically driven colloidal suspensions.
The emergence of particle irreversibility in periodically driven colloidal suspensions has been interpreted as resulting either from a nonequilibrium phase transition to an absorbing state or from the chaotic nature of particle trajectories. Using a simple model of a driven suspension, we show that a nonequilibrium phase transition is accompanied by hyperuniform static density fluctuations in t...
