Finite Size Scaling Analysis of Biased Diffusion on Fractals

چکیده

Diffusion on a T fractal lattice under the influence of topological biasing fields is studied by finite size scaling methods. This allows to avoid proliferation and singularities which would arise in a renormalization group approach on infinite system as a consequence of logarithmic diffusion. Within the scheme, logarithmic diffusion is proved on the basis of an analysis of various temporal scales such as first passage time moments and survival probability characteristic time. This confirms and puts on firmer basis previous renormalization group results. A careful study of the asymptotic occupation probabilities of different kinds of lattice points allows to elucidate the mechanism of trapping into dangling ends, which is responsible of the logarithmic time dependence of average displacement.

Kinetic Response of Surfaces Defined by Finite Fractals

Historically, fractal analysis has been remarkably successful in describing wide ranging kinetic processes on (idealized) scale invariant objects in terms of elegantly simple universal scaling laws. However, as nanostructured materials find increasing applications in energy storage, energy conversion, healthcare, etc., one must reexamine the premise of traditional fractal scaling laws as it onl...

Dynamic Scaling of an Adsorption-Diffusion Process on Fractals

We study numerically a dynamic scaling of a diffusion process involving the Langmuir type adsorption. We find dynamic scaling functions in one and two dimensions and compare them with direct numerical simulations. We study further the dynamic scaling law on fractal surfaces. The adsorption-diffusion process obeys the fracton dynamics on the fractal surfaces.

Length Scales, Multi-fractals and Non-fickian Diffusion

In single phase flow of a passive tracer through heterogeneous porous media, a mixing layer develops between the tagged and untagged regions of the fluid. The mixing region expands as the time evolves. We have developed a multilength scale theory for the growth of the mixing region induced by a general random velocity field (multi-fractal field). The theory relates the statistics of the mixing ...

Critical properties of Ising model on Sierpinski fractals . A finite size scaling analysis approach

The present paper focuses on the order-disorder transition of an Ising model on a self-similar lattice. We present a detailed numerical study, based on the Monte Carlo method in conjunction with the finite size scaling method, of the critical properties of the Ising model on some two dimensional deterministic fractal lattices with different Hausdorff dimensions. Those with finite ramification o...

Statistical Properties of Random Fractals: Geometry, Growth and Interface Dynamics

This thesis comprises analytic and numerical studies of static, geometrical properties of fractals and dynamical processes in them. First, we have numerically estimated the subset fractal dimensions DS describing the scaling of some subsets S of the fractal cluster with the linear cluster size R in the q-state Potts models. These subsets include the total mass of the cluster, the hull, the exte...
