The effects of an external electric field on the formation of Liesegang patterns are investigated. The patterns are assumed to emerge from a phase separation process in the wake of a diffusive reaction front. The dynamics is described by a Cahn-Hilliard equation with a moving source term representing the reaction zone, and the electric field enters through its effects on the properties of the reaction zone. We employ our previous results [I. Bena, F. Coppex, M. Droz, and Z. Racz, J. Chem. Phys. {bf 122}, 024512 (2005)] on how the electric field changes both the motion of the front, as well as the amount of reaction product left behind the front, and our main conclusion is that the number of precipitation bands becomes finite in a finite electric field. The reason for the finiteness in case when the electric field drives the reagents towards the reaction zone is that the width of consecutive bands increases so that, beyond a distance $ell_+$, the precipitation is continuous (plug is formed). In case of an electric field of opposite polarity, the bands emerge in a finite interval $ell_-$, since the reaction product decreases with time and the conditions for phase separation cease to exist. We give estimates of $ell_{pm}$ in terms of measurable quantities and thus present an experimentally verifiable prediction of the Cahn-Hilliard equation with a moving source description of Liesegang phenomena.

Driving a many-body system out of equilibrium induces phenomena such as the emergence and decay of transient states, which can manifest itself as pattern and domain formation. The understanding of these phenomena expands the scope of established ther
modynamics into the out-of-equilibrium domain. Here, we study the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of a bosonic lattice model subjected to a strong DC field, realized as ultracold atoms in a strongly tilted triangular optical lattice. We observe the emergence of pronounced density wave patterns - which spontaneously break the underlying lattice symmetry - using a novel single-shot imaging technique with single-site resolution in three-dimensional systems, which even resolves the domain structure [1]. We explain the dynamics as arising from resonant pair tunneling processes within an effective description of the tilted Hubbard model [2]. More broadly, we establish the far out-of-equilibrium regime of lattice models subjected to a strong DC field, as an exemplary and paradigmatic scenario for transient pattern formation.
Anisotropy of dc electric field influence on the different types of acoustic waves in piezoelectric plate has been investigated by means of computer simulation. Detail calculations have made for bismuth germanium oxide crystals.
A relation between the freezing temperature ($T^{}_{rm g}$) and the exchange couplings ($J^{}_{ij}$) in metallic spin-glasses is derived, taking the spin-correlations ($G^{}_{ij}$) into account. This approach does not involve a disorder-average. The
expansion of the correlations to first order in $J^{}_{ij}/T^{}_{rm g}$ leads to the molecular-field result from Thouless-Anderson-Palmer. Employing the current theory of the spin-interaction in disordered metals, an equation for $T^{}_{rm g}$ as a function of the concentration of impurities is obtained, which reproduces the available data from {sl Au}Fe, {sl Ag}Mn, and {sl Cu}Mn alloys well.
We consider a bosonic two-legged ladder whose two-band energy spectrum can be tuned in the presence of a uniform gauge field, to four distinct scenarios: degenerate or non-degenerate ground states with gapped or gapless energy bands. We couple the la
dder to two baths at different temperatures and chemical potentials and analyze the efficiency and power generated in the linear as well as nonlinear response regime. Our results, obtained with the Greens function method, show that the maximum performance efficiency and generated power are strongly dependent on the type of the underlying energy spectrum. We also show that the ideal scenario for efficient energy conversion, as well as power generation, corresponds to the case in which the spectrum has a gap between the bands, and the bands are narrower.
We study the effects of an external electric field on both the motion of the reaction zone and the spatial distribution of the reaction product, $C$, in an irreversible $A^- +B^+ to C$ reaction-diffusion process. The electrolytes $Aequiv (A^+,A^-)$ a
nd $Bequiv (B^+,B^-)$ are initially separated in space and the ion-dynamics is described by reaction-diffusion equations obeying local electroneutrality. Without an electric field, the reaction zone moves diffusively leaving behind a constant concentration of $C$-s. In the presence of an electric field which drives the reagents towards the reaction zone, we find that the reaction zone still moves diffusively but with a diffusion coefficient which slightly decreases with increasing field. The important electric field effect is that the concentration of $C$-s is no longer constant but increases linearly in the direction of the motion of the front. The case of an electric field of reversed polarity is also discussed and it is found that the motion of the front has a diffusive, as well as a drift component. The concentration of $C$-s decreases in the direction of the motion of the front, up to the complete extinction of the reaction. Possible applications of the above results to the understanding of the formation of Liesegang patterns in an electric field is briefly outlined.
