Avalanche dynamics of elastic interfaces.
Slowly driven elastic interfaces, such as domain walls in dirty magnets, contact lines wetting a nonhomogeneous substrate, or cracks in brittle disordered material proceed via intermittent motion, called avalanches. Here we develop a field-theoretic treatment to calculate, from first principles, the space-time statistics of instantaneous velocities within an avalanche. For elastic interfaces at...
متن کاملFinite-size effects of avalanche dynamics.
We study the avalanche dynamics of a system of globally coupled threshold elements receiving random input. The model belongs to the same universality class as the random-neighbor version of the Olami-Feder-Christensen stick-slip model. A closed expression for avalanche size distributions is derived for arbitrary system sizes N using geometrical arguments in the system's configuration space. For...
متن کاملNonradiative dynamics of avalanche upconversion in Tm:LiYF4
In this paper we examine nonradiative processes ~cross relaxation and energy migration! vital for the generation of blue avalanche emission in Tm:LiYF4 crystals subjected to radiation near 648 nm. Time-domain and temperature-dependent measurements indicate that two sequential cross-relaxation processes dominate the nonradiative decays of the G4 and H4 excited states in this crystal. The occurre...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulation of a binary mixture lubricant for use in hard disk interfaces
In Hard Disk Drives (HDD), it is necessary to decrease the Flying Height (FH) between the head and the disk (currently, FH is around 3-5 nm) so as to increase recording densities. Retaining the solid lubricant has become a difficult proposition owing to intermittent contact between the surfaces. ZTMD and Z are used as solid lubricant to lubricate these interfaces. In this paper, the behavior of...
