THE FRANK KINETIC MODEL FOR SPONTANEOUS CHIRAL SYMMETRY BREAKING WITH VARIABLE CONCENTRATION OF THE ACHIRAL SUBSTRATE

Authors: not saved
Abstract:

This paper considers the possibility of spontaneous transition of aracemic mixture (composed of equal amounts of two enantiomeric species, say L and D) into a monochiral state (in which only one enantiomer, say L, is present). Transitions of this kind have been recently experimentally observed. A plausible approach to this phenomenon is a model put forward by Frank, based on simple laws of chemical kinetics. In order to be able to solve the underlying system of differential equations, Frank made a drastic assumption, namely that the amount of achiral substrate from which the enantiomers L and D are formed is time-independent. In this paper, it is demonstrated that such an assumption is not justified, but that the essential features of the Frank model are also maintained if the amount of the achiral substrate is allowed to be time-dependent

Spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking on the lattice

Using lattice QCD we study the spectrum of low-lying fermion eigenmodes. According to the Banks-Casher relation, accumulation of the low-mode is responsible for the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry in the QCD vacuum. On the lattice we use the overlap fermion formulation that preserves exact chiral symmetry, which is essential for low-lying mode distributions. Through a detailed compariso...

Spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking by hydromagnetic buoyancy.

Evidence for the parity-breaking nature of the magnetic buoyancy instability in a stably stratified gas is reported. In the absence of rotation, no helicity is produced, but the nonhelical state is found to be unstable to small helical perturbations during the development of the instability. The parity-breaking nature of this magnetohydrodynamic instability appears to be the first of its kind a...

The Spontaneous Breaking of Chiral Symmetry without Goldstone Bosons

Considering a self-interaction only of mirror fermions in the context of a latticeregularized fermion field theory, we show that the system undergoes spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry and mirror-fermion masses are generated. However, it is explicitly shown that there are no Goldstone bosons appearing together with this spontaneous symmetry breaking phenomenon, since Lorentz invariance, on...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
