Aging to equilibrium dynamics of SiO2.

چکیده
Molecular dynamics computer simulations are used to study the aging dynamics of SiO2 (modeled by the BKS model). Starting from fully equilibrated configurations at high temperatures Ti∊{5000 K,3760 K}, the system is quenched to lower temperatures Tf∊{2500 K,2750 K,3000 K,3250 K} and observed after a waiting time tw. Since the simulation runs are long enough to reach equilibrium at Tf, we are able to study the transition from out-of-equilibrium to equilibrium dynamics. We present results for the partial structure factors, for the generalized incoherent intermediate scattering function Cq(tw,tw+t), and for the mean-square displacement Δr2(tw,tw+t). We conclude that there are three different tw regions: (I) At very short waiting times, Cq(tw,tw+t) decays very fast without forming a plateau. Similarly Δr2(tw,tw+t) increases without forming a plateau. (II) With increasing tw a plateau develops in Cq(tw,tw+t) and Δr2(tw,tw+t). For intermediate waiting times the plateau height is independent of tw and Ti. Time superposition applies, i.e., Cq=Cq(t/trCq) where trCq=trCq(tw) is a waiting time-dependent decay time. Furthermore Cq=C(q,tw,tw+t) scales as Cq=C(q,z(tw,t)) where z is a function of tw and t only, i.e., independent of q. (III) At large tw the system reaches equilibrium, i.e., Cq(tw,tw+t) and Δr2(tw,tw+t) are independent of tw and Ti. For Cq(tw,tw+t) we find that the time superposition of intermediate waiting times (II) includes the equilibrium curve (III).

In this paper, we are going to estimate the domain of attraction of tumor-free equilibrium points in a perturbed cancer tumor model describing the tumor-immune system competition dynamics. The proposed method is based on an optimization problem solution for a chosen Lyapunov function that can be casted in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities constraint and Taylor expansion of nonlinear terms.

Universal scaling in the aging of the strong glass former SiO2.
We show that the aging dynamics of a strong glass former displays a strikingly simple scaling behavior, connecting the average dynamics with its fluctuations, namely, the dynamical heterogeneities. We perform molecular dynamics simulations of SiO2 with van Beest-Kramer-van Santen interactions, quenching the system from high to low temperature, and study the evolution of the system as a function...

Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations were applied to calculate self-diffusion coefficients (Di ) and heats of adsorption for ethane, propane and n-butane. The simulations were done in temperature range of 300-525 K for various concentrations inside the pores of silicalite type zeolite. The calculated values of self-diffusion coefficients and heats of adsorption resulted from the current wo...

This paper studies the relationship between housing prices and business cycles in Iran. Since housing has a dual nature, that is, both private and capital nature, it can play an important role in investment costs and economic growth and incite other manufacturing sectors in the country. In this paper, housing prices and business cycles have been used to measure housing as a collateral, which is...
