We study the early time and coarsening dynamics in the Light-Heavy model, a system consisting of two species of particles ($light$ and $heavy$) coupled to a fluctuating surface (described by tilt fields). The dynamics of particles and tilts are coupled through local update rules, and are known to lead to different ordered and disordered steady state phases depending on the microscopic rates. We introduce a generalized balance mechanism in non-equilibrium systems, namely $bunchwise~balance$, in which incoming and outgoing transition currents are balanced between groups of configurations. This allows us to exactly determine the steady state in a subspace of the phase diagram of this model. We introduce the concept of $irreducible~sequences$ of interfaces and bends in this model. These sequences are non-local, and we show that they provide a coarsening length scale in the ordered phases at late times. Finally, we propose a $local$ correlation function ($mathcal{S}$) that has a direct relation to the number of irreducible sequences, and is able to distinguish between several phases of this system through its coarsening properties. Starting from a totally disordered initial configuration, $mathcal{S}$ displays an initial linear rise and a broad maximum. As the system evolves towards the ordered steady states, $mathcal{S}$ further exhibits power law decays at late times that encode coarsening properties of the approach to the ordered phases. Focusing on early time dynamics, we posit coupled mean-field evolution equations governing the particles and tilts, which at short times are well approximated by a set of linearized equations, which we solve analytically. Beyond a timescale set by a lattice cutoff and preceding the onset of coarsening, our linearized theory predicts the existence of an intermediate power-law stretch, which we also find in simulations of the ordered regime of the system.

We present a detailed study of squared local roughness (SLRDs) and local extremal height distributions (LEHDs), calculated in windows of lateral size $l$, for interfaces in several universality classes, in substrate dimensions $d_s = 1$ and $d_s = 2$ . We show that their cumulants follow a Family-Vicsek type scaling, and, at early times, when $xi ll l$ ($xi$ is the correlation length), the rescaled SLRDs are given by log-normal distributions, with their $n$th cumulant scaling as $(xi/l)^{(n-1)d_s}$. This give rise to an interesting temporal scaling for such cumulants $leftlangle w_n rightrangle_c sim t^{gamma_n}$, with $gamma_n = 2 n beta + {(n-1)d_s}/{z} = left[ 2 n + {(n-1)d_s}/{alpha} right] beta$. This scaling is analytically proved for the Edwards-Wilkinson (EW) and Random Deposition interfaces, and numerically confirmed for other classes. In general, it is featured by small corrections and, thus, it yields exponents $gamma_n$s (and, consequently, $alpha$, $beta$ and $z$) in nice agreement with their respective universality class. Thus, it is an useful framework for numerical and experimental investigations, where it is, usually, hard to estimate the dynamic $z$ and mainly the (global) roughness $alpha$ exponents. The stationary (for $xi gg l$) SLRDs and LEHDs of Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) class are also investigated and, for some models, strong finite-size corrections are found. However, we demonstrate that good evidences of their universality can be obtained through successive extrapolations of their cumulant ratios for long times and large $l$s. We also show that SLRDs and LEHDs are the same for flat and curved KPZ interfaces.
The recently developed formalism of nonlinear fluctuating hydrodynamics (NLFH) has been instrumental in unraveling many new dynamical universality classes in coupled driven systems with multiple conserved quantities. In principle, this formalism requ ires knowledge of the exact expression of locally conserved current in terms of local density of the conserved components. However, for most nonequilibrium systems an exact expression is not available and it is important to know what happens to the predictions of NLFH in these cases. We address this question for the first time here in a system with coupled time evolution of sliding particles on a fluctuating energy landscape. In the disordered phase this system shows short-ranged correlations, this system shows short-ranged correlations, the exact form of which is not known, and so the exact expression for current cannot be obtained. We use approximate expressions based on mean-field theory and corrections to it, to test the prediction of NLFH using numerical simulations. In this process we also discover important finite size effects and show how they affect the predictions of NLFH. We find that our system is rich enough to show a large variety of universality classes. From our analytics and simulations we have been able to find parameter values which lead to diffusive, Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ), $5/3 $ Levy and modified KPZ universality classes. Interestingly, the scaling function in the modified KPZ case turns out to be close to the Prahofer-Spohn function which is known to describe usual KPZ scaling. Our analytics also predict the golden mean and the $3/2$ Levy universality classes within our model but our simulations could not verify this, perhaps due to strong finite size effects.
95 - A. Siber , B. Gumhalter 1999
In the original paper Althoff et al. (see ibid., vol.79, p.4429 (1997)) reported a study of scattering of thermal Ne, Ar, and Kr atoms from a Cu(111) surface in which they assessed the corresponding Debye-Waller factor (DWF) as a function of the part icle mass m in a wide range of substrate temperature T. The experiments were interpreted by the semiclassical DWF theory in which the projectile moves on the classical recoilless trajectory and the surface vibrations are quantized. Siber and Gumhalter claim that the experiments described by Althoff et al. were carried out in the quantum scattering regime in which the semiclassical scalings of Althoff et al. do not hold and the semiclassical DWE significantly deviates from the exact quantum one both in the low and high T limits. Hence, it is claimed, the quantum scattering data of Althoff et al. cannot be reliably interpreted by the semiclassical theory.
The Erdos-Renyi classical random graph is characterized by a fixed linking probability for all pairs of vertices. Here, this concept is generalized by drawing the linking probability from a certain distribution. Such a procedure is found to lead to a static complex network with an arbitrary connectivity distribution. In particular, a scale-free network with the hierarchical organization is constructed without assuming any knowledge about the global linking structure, in contrast to the preferential attachment rule for a growing network. The hierarchical and mixing properties of the static scale-free network thus constructed are studied. The present approach establishes a bridge between a scalar characterization of individual vertices and topology of an emerging complex network. The result may offer a clue for understanding the origin of a few abundance of connectivity distributions in a wide variety of static real-world networks.
We study the dynamics of networks with coupling delay, from which the connectivity changes over time. The synchronization properties are shown to depend on the interplay of three time scales: the internal time scale of the dynamics, the coupling dela y along the network links and time scale at which the topology changes. Concentrating on a linearized model, we develop an analytical theory for the stability of a synchronized solution. In two limit cases the system can be reduced to an effective topology: In the fast switching approximation, when the network fluctuations are much faster than the internal time scale and the coupling delay, the effective network topology is the arithmetic mean over the different topologies. In the slow network limit, when the network fluctuation time scale is equal to the coupling delay, the effective adjacency matrix is the geometric mean over the adjacency matrices of the different topologies. In the intermediate regime the system shows a sensitive dependence on the ratio of time scales, and specific topologies, reproduced as well by numerical simulations. Our results are shown to describe the synchronization properties of fluctuating networks of delay-coupled chaotic maps.
