Collective Phase Chaos in the Dynamics of Interacting Oscillator Ensembles
We study chaotic behavior of order parameters in two coupled ensembles of
self-sustained oscillators. Coupling within each of these ensembles is switched
on and off alternately, while the mutual interaction between these two
subsystems is arranged through quadratic nonlinear coupling. We show
numerically that in the course of alternating Kuramoto transitions to synchrony
and back to asynchrony, the exchange of excitations between two subpopulations
proceeds in such a way that their collective phases are governed by an
expanding circle map similar to the Bernoulli map. We perform the Lyapunov
analysis of the dynamics and discuss finite-size effects.Comment: 19 page
-Particle Spectrum in the Reaction p+B
Using a simple phenomenological parametrization of the reaction amplitude we
calculated -particle spectrum in the reaction p+B at the resonance proton energy 675 KeV. The parametrization
includes Breit-Wigner factor with an energy dependent width for intermediate
state and the Coulomb and the centrifugal factors in -particle
emission vertexes. The shape of the spectrum consists of a well defined peak
corresponding to emission of the primary and a flat shoulder going
down to very low energy. We found that below 1.5 MeV there are 17.5% of
's and below 1 MeV there are 11% of them.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure
Observation of a cyclotron harmonic spike in microwave-induced resistances in ultraclean GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells
We report the observation of a colossal, narrow resistance peak that arises
in ultraclean (mobility 3X10^7cm^2/Vs) GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells (QWs) under
millimeterwave irradiation and a weak magnetic field. Such a spike is
superposed on the 2nd harmonic microwave-induced resistance oscillations (MIRO)
but having an amplitude > 300% of the MIRO, and a typical FWHM ~50 mK,
comparable with the Landau level width. Systematic studies show a correlation
between the spike and a pronounced negative magnetoresistance in these QWs,
suggesting a mechanism based on the interplay of strong scatterers and smooth
disorder. Alternatively, the spike may be interpreted as a manifestation of
quantum interference between the quadrupole resonance and the higher-order
cyclotron transition in well-separated Landau levels.Comment: 4pages, 4figure
Random anisotropy disorder in superfluid 3He-A in aerogel
The anisotropic superfluid 3He-A in aerogel provides an interesting example
of a system with continuous symmetry in the presence of random anisotropy
disorder. Recent NMR experiments allow us to discuss two regimes of the
orientational disorder, which have different NMR properties. One of them, the
(s)-state, is identified as the pure Larkin-Imry-Ma state. The structure of
another state, the (f)-state, is not very clear: probably it is the
Larkin-Imry-Ma state contaminated by the network of the topological defects
pinned by aerogel.Comment: JETP Lett. style, 6 pages, no figures, discussion extended,
