    Finite-size effects in roughness distribution scaling

    We study numerically finite-size corrections in scaling relations for roughness distributions of various interface growth models. The most common relation, which considers the average roughness asscalingfactor,isnotobeyedinthesteadystatesofagroupofballisticlikemodelsin2+1dimensions,evenwhenverylargesystemsizesareconsidered.Ontheotherhand,goodcollapseofthesamedataisobtainedwithascalingrelationthatinvolvestherootmeansquarefluctuationoftheroughness,whichcanbeexplainedbyfinitesizeeffectsonsecondmomentsofthescalingfunctions.Wealsoobtaindatacollapsewithanalternativescalingrelationthataccountsfortheeffectoftheintrinsicwidth,whichisaconstantcorrectiontermpreviouslyproposedforthescalingof as scaling factor, is not obeyed in the steady states of a group of ballistic-like models in 2+1 dimensions, even when very large system sizes are considered. On the other hand, good collapse of the same data is obtained with a scaling relation that involves the root mean square fluctuation of the roughness, which can be explained by finite-size effects on second moments of the scaling functions. We also obtain data collapse with an alternative scaling relation that accounts for the effect of the intrinsic width, which is a constant correction term previously proposed for the scaling of . This illustrates how finite-size corrections can be obtained from roughness distributions scaling. However, we discard the usual interpretation that the intrinsic width is a consequence of high surface steps by analyzing data of restricted solid-on-solid models with various maximal height differences between neighboring columns. We also observe that large finite-size corrections in the roughness distributions are usually accompanied by huge corrections in height distributions and average local slopes, as well as in estimates of scaling exponents. The molecular-beam epitaxy model of Das Sarma and Tamborenea in 1+1 dimensions is a case example in which none of the proposed scaling relations works properly, while the other measured quantities do not converge to the expected asymptotic values. Thus, although roughness distributions are clearly better than other quantities to determine the universality class of a growing system, it is not the final solution for this task.Comment: 25 pages, including 9 figures and 1 tabl

    Complementarity and diversity in a soluble model ecosystem

    Full text link
    Complementarity among species with different traits is one of the basic processes affecting biodiversity, defined as the number of species in the ecosystem. We present here a soluble model ecosystem in which the species are characterized by binary traits and their pairwise interactions follow a complementarity principle. Manipulation of the species composition, and so the study of its effects on the species diversity is achieved through the introduction of a bias parameter favoring one of the traits. Using statistical mechanics tools we find explicit expressions for the allowed values of the equilibrium species concentrations in terms of the control parameters of the model

    Geometric classical and total correlations via trace distance

    Full text link
    We introduce the concepts of geometric classical and total correlations through Schatten 1-norm (trace norm), which is the only Schatten p-norm able to ensure a well-defined geometric measure of correlations. In particular, we derive the analytical expressions for the case of two-qubit Bell-diagonal states, discussing the superadditivity of geometric correlations. As an illustration, we compare our results with the entropic correlations, discussing both their hierarchy and monotonicity properties. Moreover, we apply the geometric correlations to investigate the ground state of spin chains in the thermodynamic limit. In contrast to the entropic quantifiers, we show that the classical correlation is the only source of 1-norm geometric correlation that is able to signaling an infinite-order quantum phase transition.Comment: v2: published versio

    Mapeamento e descrição das áreas de ocorrência dos eventos de decoada no Pantanal.

    Decoada ou dequada é o nome popular que se dá no Pantanal aos eventos anuais de alteração natural da qualidade da água durante a fase hidrológica de enchente, cuja intensidade varia de acordo com o clima e os padrões de inundação anuais. Ocorrem alterações das características físicas e químicas da água, que incluem mudanças para cor escura, depleção de oxigênio dissolvido (OD), chegando à anoxia, diminuição do pH (< 6,0) e aumento do CO2 Livre, de aproximadamente 20 mg/L para mais que 100 mg/L, podendo ocorrer expressivas mortandades de peixes dependendo da magnitude das alterações. Neste estudo mapeamos e descrevemos a área de ocorrência desses eventos no Pantanal, baseados nos dados de monitoramento de qualidade de água de 1988 a 2011, nas informações de técnicos e moradores da região e também fizemos uma estimativa da intensidade dos eventos. A concentração de OD nos rios e lagoas principais foi utilizada como indicador, em que OD< 3,0 mg/L durante a época de inundação foi considerado indicativo de ocorrência potencial do evento. De acordo com os registros obtidos, os eventos de decoada foram observados desde Cáceres, ao Norte, até Porto Murtinho, ao Sul, sendo de alta intensidade no rio Paraguai, principalmente abaixo de Bela Vista do Norte. No rio Cuiabá, os eventos são comuns desde Porto Cercado até a sua foz com o rio Paraguai, considerados de média a alta intensidade. No rio Taquari, os eventos foram considerados de baixa intensidade, sendo mais intensos somente próximo ao Paraguai-Mirim. No rio Miranda, a decoada pode ser observada desde a foz do rio Aquidauana até a confluência com o rio Paraguai, mas é no Passo do Lontra onde a intensidade pode ser alta a ponto de afetar os peixes. As lagoas (baías) Uberaba e Gaíva seriam os locais com menor probabilidade de ocorrência dos eventos de decoada. Já as baías Vermelha, Castelo e Tuiuiú, na área de alta inundação, são os locais onde eventos com alta frequência e intensidade foram registrados, ocorrendo anualmente.bitstream/item/83348/1/BP121.pd
