چکیده

Strongly coupled Coulomb systems are characterized by localization ("caging") of particles trapped and oscillating in slowly fluctuating local potential wells. This observation constitutes the basic assumption underlying the quasilocalized charge approximation. Using molecular dynamics simulation we study the changes in the particles' surroundings (cages) in a classical three-dimensional one-component plasma. The results of our analysis show that at high coupling values, substantial changes occur only after several plasma oscillation cycles. We also analyze the oscillation frequencies of the caged particles and relate the decorrelation of the cages to the process of self-diffusion.

Dynamic entropy as a measure of caging and persistent particle motion in supercooled liquids.

The length-scale dependence of the dynamic entropy is studied in a molecular dynamics simulation of a binary Lennard-Jones liquid above the mode-coupling critical temperature T(c). A number of methods exist for estimating the entropy of dynamical systems, and we utilize an approximation based on calculating the mean first-passage time (MFPT) for particle displacement because of its tractability...

Modulational instability of dust ion acoustic waves in astrophysical dusty plasmas with non thermal electrons

  Propagation of dust ion acoustic waves in plasmas composed of nonthermal distributed electrons and stationary dust particles is investigated. Nonlinear Schrdinger equation is derived to describe small amplitude waves, using the reduction perturbation technique. Modulation instability of dust ion acoustic waves is analysed for this system. Parametric investigation indicates that growth rate of...

بررسی شتاب‌دهی ذرات باردار از طریق باز‌اتصالی مغناطیسی در محیط‌های پلاسمایی

Magnetic reconnection, which occurs in high conducting plasmas, changes the topology of magnetic field lines and converts magnetic energy into the kinetic and thermal energy of plasma and also accelerates charged particles. This phenomenon plays an important role in changing the dynamic of laboratory and space plasmas such as fusion tokamaks and sun’s corona. The electric and magnetic fields ge...

Design of Distributed End-Effectors for Caging-Specialized Manipulator - (Design Concept and Development of Finger Component)

In this paper, we propose a novel design of end-effectors that is specialized in caging manipulation. Caging manipulation has several advantages comparing with traditional grasping manipulation. For example, caging can allow small gap/margin between end-effectors and a target object, making the manipulator relieved from constant contact and precise control. Therefore, caging manipulator can avo...

تاثیر یونها برتابش دولایه‌های نسبیتی در پلاسماهای اخترفیزیکی

As double layers (DLs) are one of the most important acceleration mechanisms in space as well as in laboratory plasmas, they are studied from different points of view. In this paper, the emitted power and energy radiated from charged particles, accelerated in relativistic cosmic DLs are investigated. The effect of the presence of additional ions in a multi-species plasma, as a real example of a...
