Moving Wigner glasses and smectics: dynamics of disordered Wigner crystals.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examine the dynamics of driven classical Wigner solids interacting with quenched disorder from charged impurities. For strong disorder, the initial motion is plastic, in the form of crossing winding channels. For increasing drive, there is a reordering into a moving Wigner smectic with the electrons moving in separate 1D channels. These different dynamic phases can be related to the conduction noise and I(V) curves. For strong disorder, we show criticality in the voltage onset just above depinning. We obtain the dynamic phase diagram for driven Wigner solids and demonstrate a finite threshold of force for transverse sliding, recently observed experimentally.

Pathologies cardiac discrimination using the Fast Fourir Transform (FFT) The short time Fourier transforms (STFT) and the Wigner distribution (WD)
This paper is concerned with a synthesis study of the fast Fourier transform (FFT), the short time Fourier transform (STFT and the Wigner distribution (WD) in analysing the phonocardiogram signal (PCG) or heart cardiac sounds. The FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) can provide a basic understanding of the frequency contents of the heart sounds. The STFT is obtained by calculating the Fourier tran...
متن کاملAsymptotic Analysis of the Quantum Dynamics in Crystals: The Bloch-Wigner Transform, Bloch Dynamics and Berry Phase
We study the semi-classical limit of the Schrödinger equation in a crystal in the presence of an external potential and magnetic field. We first introduce the Bloch-Wigner transform and derive the asymptotic equations governing this transform in the semi-classical setting. For the second part, we focus on the appearance of the Berry curvature terms in the asymptotic equations. These terms play ...
متن کاملPhase diagram of chiral biopolymer Wigner crystals.
We study the statistical mechanics of counterion Wigner crystals associated with hexagonal bundles of chiral biopolymers. We show that, due to spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking induced by frustration, these Wigner crystals would be chiral even if the biopolymers themselves were not chiral. Using a duality transformation of the model onto a "spin-charge" Hamiltonian, we show that melting of t...
متن کاملKinetics of ergodic-to-nonergodic transitions in charged colloidal suspensions: aging and gelation.
There are two types of isotropic disordered nonergodic states in colloidal suspensions: colloidal glasses and gels. In a recent paper [H. Tanaka, J. Meunier, and D. Bonn, Phys. Rev. E 69, 031404 (2004)], we discussed the static aspect of the differences and the similarities between the two. In this paper, we focus on the dynamic aspect. The kinetics of the liquid-glass transition is called "agi...
متن کاملKinetic Limit for Wave Propagation in a Random Medium
We study crystal dynamics in the harmonic approximation. The atomic masses are weakly disordered, in the sense that their deviation from uniformity is of order √ ε. The dispersion relation is assumed to be a Morse function and to suppress crossed recollisions. We then prove that in the limit ε → 0 the disorder averaged Wigner function on the kinetic scale, time and space of order ε, is governed...
