چکیده
Pinning of a solid–liquid–vapour interface by stripes of obstacles. Abstract We use a macroscopic Hamiltonian approach to study the pinning of a solid–liquid–vapour contact line on an array of equidistant stripes of obstacles perpendicular to the liquid. We propose an estimate of the density of pinning stripes for which collective pinning of the contact line happens. This estimate is shown to be in good agreement with Langevin equation simulation of the macroscopic Hamiltonian. Finally we introduce a 2–dimensional mean field theory which for small strength of the pinning stripes and for small capillary length gives an excellent description of the averaged height of the contact line.

We calculate time correlation functions in the Bak-Sneppen model (Phys. Rev. Lett. 71 4083 (1993)), a model showing self-organised criticality. For a random neighbour version of the model, analytical results are presented, while on a one dimensional lattice we give numerical results. The power spectrum of these correlation functions shows 1/f-behaviour in both cases.

The spin stiffness ρ s of the repulsive Hubbard model that occurs in the hy-drodynamic theory of antiferromagnetic spin waves is shown to be the same as the thermodynamically defined stiffness involved in twisting the order parameter. New expressions for ρ s are derived, which enable easier interpretation , and connections with superconducting weight and gauge invariance are discussed.

We map out the phase diagram of the one–dimensional Anderson lattice by studying the ground state magnetization as a function of band–filling using the density matrix renormalization group technique. For strong coupling, we find that the quarter–filled system has an S=0 ground state with strong antiferromagnetic correlations. As additional electrons are put in, we find first a ferromagnetic pha...

Kauffman net is a dynamical system of logical variables receiving two random inputs and each randomly assigned a boolean function. We show that the attractor and transient lengths exhibit scaleless behavior with power-law distributions over up to ten orders of magnitude. Our results provide evidence for the existence of the ”edge of chaos” as a distinct phase between the ordered and chaotic reg...
