    Theory of ω4/3\omega^{-4/3} law of the power spectrum in dissipative flows

    It is demonstrated that ω4/3\omega^{-4/3} law of the power spectrum with the angular frequency ω\omega in dissipative flows is produced by the emission of dispersive waves from the antikink of an congested domain. The analytic theory predicts the spectrum is proportional to ω2\omega^{-2} for relatively low frequency and ω4/3\omega^{-4/3} for high frequency.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figure

    Flux-free conductance modulation in a helical Aharonov-Bohm interferometer

    Full text link
    A novel conductance oscillation in a twisted quantum ring composed of a helical atomic configuration is theoretically predicted. Internal torsion of the ring is found to cause a quantum phase shift in the wavefunction that describes the electron's motion along the ring. The resulting conductance oscillation is free from magnetic flux penetrating inside the ring, which is in complete contrast with the ordinary Aharonov-Bohm effect observed in untwisted quantum rings.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure

    Power-law behavior in the power spectrum induced by Brownian motion of a domain wall

    Get PDF
    We show that Brownian motion of a one-dimensional domain wall in a large but finite system yields a ω3/2\omega^{-3/2} power spectrum. This is successfully applied to the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) with open boundaries. An excellent agreement between our theory and numerical results is obtained in a frequency range where the domain wall motion dominates and discreteness of the system is not effective.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
