In a previous work [Dillon and Nakanishi, Eur. Phys. J. B 87, 286 (2014)EPJBFY1434-602810.1140/epjb/e2014-50397-4], we numerically calculated the transmission coefficient of the two-dimensional quantum percolation problem and mapped out in detail the three regimes of localization, i.e., exponentially localized, power-law localized, and delocalized, which had been proposed earlier [Islam and Nakanishi, Phys. Rev. E 77, 061109 (2008)PLEEE81539-375510.1103/PhysRevE.77.061109]. We now consider a variation on quantum percolation in which the hopping integral (w) associated with bonds that connect to at least one diluted site is not zero, but rather a fraction of the hopping integral (V=1) between nondiluted sites. We study the latter model by calculating quantities such as the transmission coefficient and the inverse participation ratio and find the original quantum percolation results to be stable for w>0 over a wide range of energy. In particular, except in the immediate neighborhood of the band center (where increasing w to just 0.02Vappears to eliminate localization effects), increasing w only shifts the boundaries between the three regimes but does not eliminate them until w reaches 10%-40% of V.

Polymers in Physics, Chemistry and Biology: Behavior of Linear Polymers in Fractal Structures.

Polymers (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Physics, University of Milano-Bicocca, Piazza della Scienza 3, 20126 Milano, Italy.

We start presenting an overview on recent applications of linear polymers and networks in condensed matter physics, chemistry and biology by briefly discussing selected papers (published within 2022-2024) in some detail. They are organized into three main subsections: polymers in physics (further subdivided into simulations of coarse-grained models and structural properties of materials), chemistry (quantum mechanical calculations, environmental issues and rheological properties of viscoelastic composites) and biology (macromolecules, proteins and biomedical applications). The core of the work is devoted to a review of theoretical aspects of linear polymers, with emphasis on self-avoiding walk (SAW) chains, in regular lattices and in both deterministic and random fractal structures.

Like the crystallization of water to ice, magnetic transition occurs at a critical temperature after the slowing down of dynamically fluctuating short-range correlated spins. Here, we report a unique type of magnetic transition characterized by a linear increase in the volume fraction of unconventional static short-range-ordered spin clusters, which triggered a transition into a long-range order at a threshold fraction perfectly matching the bond percolation theory in a new quantum antiferromagnet of pseudo-trigonal Cu(OH)Cl. Static short-range order appeared in its Kagome lattice plane below ca.

Article Synopsis
  • Extended-range percolation is a process useful for quantum communication, where nodes can be categorized as trusted or untrusted, affecting connectivity.
  • Untrusted facilitator nodes can help maintain communication between trusted nodes if they lie within a specific distance (R) of each other.
  • The study combines a message-passing algorithm with analysis of interdependent multiplex networks, revealing complex behaviors and phase transitions, confirmed by simulations, useful for understanding communication in networks with extended-range connections.
