چکیده
The behavior of a heavy tagged intruder immersed in a bath of particles evolving under ballistic annihilation dynamics is investigated. The Fokker-Planck equation for this system is derived and the peculiarities of the corresponding diffusive behavior are worked out. In the long time limit, the intruder velocity distribution function approaches a Gaussian form, but with a different temperature from its bath counterpart. As a consequence of the continuous decay of particles in the bath, the mean squared displacement increases exponentially in the collision per particle time scale. Analytical results are finally successfully tested against Monte Carlo numerical simulations.

Using a simple and generic molecular dynamics model, we study the damage in a disk of interacting particles as the disc fragments upon impact with a wall. The damage, defined as the ratio of the number of bonds broken by the impact to the initial number of bonds, is found to increase logarithmically with the energy deposited in the system. This result implies a linear growth with damage for the...

متن کاملWinding of planar gaussian processes
We consider a smooth, rotationally invariant, centered gaussian process in the plane, with arbitrary correlation matrix Ctt′ . We study the winding angle φt around its center. We obtain a closed formula for the variance of the winding angle as a function of the matrix Ctt′ . For most stationary processes Ctt′ = C(t− t′) the winding angle exhibits diffusion at large time with diffusion coefficie...

We investigate nonequilibrium underdamped Langevin dynamics of Brownian particles that interact through a harmonic potential with coupling constant K and are in thermal contact with two heat baths at different temperatures. The system is characterized by a net heat flow and an entropy production in the steady state. We compare the entropy production of the harmonic system with that of Brownian ...

The Verwey phase transition in magnetite is analyzed on the basis of the Landau theory. The free energy functional is expanded in a series of components belonging to the primary and secondary order parameters. A low-temperature phase with the monoclinic P2/c symmetry is a result of condensation of two order parameters X3 and ∆5. The temperature dependence of the shear elastic constant C44 is de...
