چکیده

We study self-avoiding random walks in an environment where sites are excluded randomly, in two and three dimensions. For a single polymer chain, we study the statistics of the time averaged monomer density and show that these are well described by multifractal statistics. This is true even far from the percolation transition of the disordered medium. We investigate solutions of chains in a disordered environment and show that the statistics cease to be multifractal beyond the screening length of the solution.

Density Fluctuations of Two Major Aspergillus Species Airborne Spores in Pistachio Growing Regions of Iran

Contamination of pistachio nuts by aflatoxigenic strains of Aspergillus species is the greatest constraint to production and export of pistachio nuts in Iran, the leading producer of pistachio nuts in the world. Kerman province is the main region in Iran where 85%, of pistachio nuts are produced. Determining the population density of Aspergillus spores in the orchards and terminals which are th...

Quantification of nanoscale density fluctuations using electron microscopy: Light-localization properties of biological cells.

We report a study of the nanoscale mass-density fluctuations of heterogeneous optical dielectric media, including nanomaterials and biological cells, by quantifying their nanoscale light-localization properties. Transmission electron microscope images of the media are used to construct corresponding effective disordered optical lattices. Light-localization properties are studied by the statisti...

Hyperuniformity in point patterns and two-phase random heterogeneous media

Hyperuniform point patterns are characterized by vanishing infinitewavelength density fluctuations and encompass all crystal structures, certain quasiperiodic systems, and special disordered point patterns (Torquato and Stillinger 2003 Phys. Rev. E 68 041113). This paper generalizes the notion of hyperuniformity to include also two-phase random heterogeneous media. Hyperuniform random media do ...

We consider the drift of a polymer chain in a disordered medium, which is caused by a constant force applied to the one end of the polymer, under neglecting the thermal fluctuations. In the lowest order of the perturbation theory we have computed the transversal fluctuations of the centre of mass of the polymer, the transversal and the longitudinal size of the polymer, and the average velocity ...

Fluctuations in fluid invasion into disordered media.

Interfaces moving in a disordered medium exhibit stochastic velocity fluctuations obeying universal scaling relations related to the presence or absence of conservation laws. For fluid invasion of porous media, we show that the fluctuations of the velocity are governed by a geometry-dependent length scale arising from fluid conservation. This result is compared to the statistics resulting from ...
