    Generalized Fractal Kinetics in Complex Systems (Application to Biophysics and Biothechnology)

    Full text link
    We derive a universal function for the kinetics of complex systems. This kinetic function unifies and generalizes previous theoretical attempts to describe what has been called "fractal kinetic".The concentration evolutionary equation is formally similar to the relaxation function obtained in the stochastic theory of relaxation, with two exponents a and n. The first one is due to memory effects and short-range correlations and the second one finds its origin in the long-range correlations and geometrical frustrations which give rise to ageing behavior. These effects can be formally handled by introducing adequate probability distributions for the rate coefficient. We show that the distribution of rate coefficients is the consequence of local variations of the free energy (energy landscape) appearing in the exponent of the Arrhenius formula. We discuss briefly the relation of the (n,a) kinetic formalism with the Tsallis theory of nonextensive systems.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figures, submitted to Physica

    Magnetic ordering of itinerant systems in modified mean field theory: antiferromagnetism

    Full text link
    We analyze the itinerant model for antiferromagnetism, which was developed previously by Plischke, Mattis, Brouers and Mizia. In this model we include both; single-site and two-site electron correlations. Including additionally band degeneration into the model allows for considering intra-atomic exchange interactions in the Hamiltonian. The modified Hartree-Fock approximation for the two-site interactions is used. This approximation gives the spin band narrowing, which is the same for both spin directions and affects possibility of antiferromagnetic ordering. We use the Green function technique and CPA decoupling. This allows for the change in shape of the spin bands, described by the correlation factors, which decreases kinetic energy of the system. The effective Hartree field and the gain in kinetic energy due to the on-site and inter-site correlation factors drive the antiferromagnetism.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figur

    Vanishing Loss Effect on the Effective ac Conductivity behavior for 2D Composite Metal-Dielectric Films At The Percolation Threshold

    Full text link
    We study the imaginary part of the effective acac conductivity as well as its distribution probability for vanishing losses in 2D composites. This investigation showed that the effective medium theory provides only informations about the average conductivity, while its fluctuations which correspond to the field energy in this limit are neglected by this theory.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, submitted to Phys.Rev.

    Diffusion regimes in Levy flights with trapping

    Full text link
    The diffusion of a walk in the presence of traps is investigated. Different diffusion regimes are obtained considering the magnitude of the fluctuations in waiting times and jump distances. A constant velocity during the jump motion is assumed to avoid the divergence of the mean squared displacement. Using the limit theorems of the theory of Levy stable distributions we have provided a characterization of the different diffusion regimes.Comment: 1 figure, submitted to Physica
