We demonstrate that a two-dimensional finite and periodic array of Ising spins coupled via RKKY-like exchange can exhibit tunable magnetic states ranging from three distinct magnetic regimes: (1) a conventional ferromagnetic regime, (2) a glass-like regime, and (3) a new multi-well regime. These magnetic regimes can be tuned by one gate-like parameter, namely the ratio between the lattice constant and the oscillating interaction wavelength. We characterize the various magnetic regimes, quantifying the distribution of low energy states, aging relaxation dynamics, and scaling behavior. The glassy and multi-well behavior results from the competing character of the oscillating long-range exchange interactions. The multi-well structure features multiple attractors, each with a sizable basin of attraction. This may open the possible application of such atomic arrays as associative memories.

We present a theory of viscoelasticity of amorphous media, which takes into account the effects of confinement along one of three spatial dimensions. The framework is based on the nonaffine extension of lattice dynamics to amorphous systems, or nonaf fine response theory. The size effects due to the confinement are taken into account via the nonaffine part of the shear storage modulus $G$. The nonaffine contribution is written as a sum over modes in $k$-space. With a rigorous argument based on the analysis of the $k$-space integral over modes, it is shown that the confinement size $L$ in one spatial dimension, e.g. the $z$ axis, leads to a infrared cut-off for the modes contributing to the nonaffine (softening) correction to the modulus that scales as $L^{-3}$. Corrections for finite sample size $D$ in the two perpendicular dimensions scale as $sim (L/D)^4$, and are negligible for $L ll D$. For liquids it is predicted that $Gsim L^{-3}$ in agreement with a previous more approximate analysis, whereas for amorphous materials $G sim G_{bulk} + beta L^{-3}$. For the case of liquids, four different experimental systems are shown to be very well described by the $L^{-3}$ law.

We propose a statistical mechanics for a general class of stationary and metastable equilibrium states. For this purpose, the Gibbs extremal conditions are slightly modified in order to be applied to a wide class of non-equilibrium states. As usual, it is assumed that the system maximizes the entropy functional $S$, subjected to the standard conditions; i.e., constant energy and normalization of the probability distribution. However, an extra conserved constraint function $F$ is also assumed to exist, which forces the system to remain in the metastable configuration. Further, after assuming additivity for two quasi-independent subsystems, and that the new constraint commutes with density matrix $rho$, it is argued that F should be an homogeneous function of the density matrix, at least for systems in which the spectrum is sufficiently dense to be considered as continuous. The explicit form of $F$ turns to be $F(p_{i})=p_{i}^{q}$, where $p_i$ are the eigenvalues of the density matrix and $q$ is a real number to be determined. This $q$ number appears as a kind of Tsallis parameter having the interpretation of the order of homogeneity of the constraint $F$. The procedure is applied to describe the results of the plasma experiment of Huang and Driscoll. The experimentally measured density is predicted with a similar precision as it is done with the use of the extremum of the enstrophy and Tsallis procedures. However, the present results define the density at all the radial positions. In particular, the smooth tail shown by the experimental distribution turns to be predicted by the procedure. In this way, the scheme avoids the non-analyticity of the density profile at large distances arising in both of the mentioned alternative procedures.
In this paper, we look at four generalizations of the one dimensional Aubry-Andre-Harper (AAH) model which possess mobility edges. We map out a phase diagram in terms of population imbalance, and look at the system size dependence of the steady state imbalance. We find non-monotonic behaviour of imbalance with system parameters, which contradicts the idea that the relaxation of an initial imbalance is fixed only by the ratio of number of extended states to number of localized states. We propose that there exists dimensionless parameters, which depend on the fraction of single particle localized states, single particle extended states and the mean participation ratio of these states. These ingredients fully control the imbalance in the long time limit and we present numerical evidence of this claim. Among the four models considered, three of them have interesting duality relations and their location of mobility edges are known. One of the models (next nearest neighbour coupling) has no known duality but mobility edge exists and the model has been experimentally realized. Our findings are an important step forward to understanding non-equilibrium phenomena in a family of interesting models with incommensurate potentials.
A two parameter percolation model with nucleation and growth of finite clusters is developed taking the initial seed concentration rho and a growth parameter g as two tunable parameters. Percolation transition is determined by the final static config uration of spanning clusters. A finite size scaling theory for such transition is developed and numerically verified. The scaling functions are found to depend on both g and rho. The singularities at the critical growth probability gc of a given rho are described by appropriate critical exponents. The values of the critical exponents are found to be same as that of the original percolation at all values of rho at the respective gc . The model then belongs to the same universality class of percolation for the whole range of rho.
We study the hopping transport of a quantum particle through finite, randomly diluted percolation clusters in two dimensions. We investigate how the transmission coefficient T behaves as a function of the energy E of the particle, the occupation conc entration p of the disordered cluster, the size of the underlying lattice, and the type of connection chosen between the cluster and the input and output leads. We investigate both the point-to-point contacts and the busbar type of connection. For highly diluted clusters we find the behavior of the transmission to be independent of the type of connection. As the amount of dilution is decreased we find sharp variations in transmission. These variations are the remnants of the resonances at the ordered, zero-dilution, limit. For particles with energies within 0.25 <= E <= 1.75 (relative to the hopping integral) and with underlying square lattices of size 20x20, the configurations begin transmitting near p_a = 0.60 with T against p curves following a common pattern as the amount of dilution is decreased. Near p_b = 0.90 this pattern is broken and the transmission begins to vary with the energy. In the asymptotic limit of very large clusters we find the systems to be totally reflecting except when the amount of dilution is very low and when the particle has energy close to a resonance value at the ordered limit or when the particle has energy at the middle of the band.
