Ordering and percolation transitions for hard squares: Equilibrium versus nonequilibrium models for adsorbed layers with c(2X2) superlattice ordering
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the critical behavior of models for adsorbed layers in which particles reside on a square lattice and have infinite nearest-neighbor repulsions. Such particles are often described as ''hard squares.'' We consider both the equilibrium hard-square model and a nonequilibrium model. The latter involves dimer adsorption onto diagonally adjacent sites, and the desorption and possible hopping of adsorbed monomer particles ͑where neither adsorption nor hopping can create adjacent pairs of occupied sites͒. In the limit of high monomer mobility, one recovers the equilibrium model. Both models exhibit a continuous symmetry breaking transition in the Ising universality class, and also a percolation transition for c(2ϫ2) clusters of particles connected with diagonal bonds. For the equilibrium model, extensive Monte Carlo simulations show that the two transitions coincide, supporting the claim of Hu and Mak. We also determine percolation exponents for c(2ϫ2) clusters and vacancy clusters, and consider a correlated site-bond percolation problem which elucidates conditions for coincidence of symmetry-breaking and percolation. In contrast, for the nonequilibrium model with immobile adsorbed monomers, there is a gap between the symmetry-breaking and percolation transitions, and the random percolation universality class applies. Finally, we examine the crossover behavior with increasing mobility of adsorbed monomers.

Symmetry-breaking and percolation transitions in a surface reaction model with superlattice ordering
A symmetry-breaking order-disorder transition of the Ising type is found in a nonequilibrium surface reaction model for CO oxidation incorporating superlattice ordering of adsorbed oxygen. We relate this transition to the percolation of superlattice domains of oxygen, and discuss the consequences for chemical diffusion of coadsorbed CO. The latter constitutes a new type of problem involving tra...

Resource constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) is mainly investigated with the objective of either minimizing project makespan or maximizing project net present value. However, when material planning plays a key role in a project, the existing models cannot help determining material ordering plans to minimize material costs. In this paper, the RCPSP incorporated with the material order...

Nonequilibrium systems can undergo continuous phase transitions between different steady states. These transitions are characterized by collective fluctuations over large distances and long times similar to the behavior of equilibrium critical points. They also can be divided into different universality classes according to their critical behavior. This dissertation considers two types of noneq...

This paper investigates the Stackelberg equilibrium for pricing and ordering decisions in a multi-channel supply chain. We study a situation where a manufacturer is going to open a direct online channel in addition to n existing traditional retail channels. It is assumed that the manufacturer is the leader and the retailers are the followers. The situation has a hierarchical nature and...
