Profile and scaling of the fractal exponent of percolations in complex networks

We propose a novel finite size scaling analysis for percolation transition observed in complex networks. While it is known that cooperative systems in growing networks often undergo an infinite order transition with inverted Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless singularity, it is very hard for numerical simulations to determine the transition point precisely. Since the neighbor of the ordered phase is not a simple disordered phase but a critical phase, conventional finite size scaling technique does not work. In our finite size scaling, the forms of the scaling functions for the order parameter and the fractal exponent determine the transition point and critical exponents numerically for an infinite order transition as well as a standard second order transition. We confirm the validity of our scaling hypothesis through Monte-Carlo simulations for bond percolations in some network models: the decorated (2,2)-flower and the random attachment growing network, where an infinite order transition occurs, and the configuration model, where a second order transition occurs.Comment: 6 page

Dynamical Study of Polydisperse Hard-Sphere System

We study the interplay between the fluid-crystal transition and the glass transition of elastic sphere system with polydispersity using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. It is found that the end point of the crystal-fluid transition line, which corresponds to the critical polydispersity above which the crystal state is unstable, is on the glass transition line. This means that crystal and fluid states at the melting point becomes less distinguishable as polydispersity increases and finally they become identical state, i.e., marginal glass state, at critical polydispersity.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure

Nonequilibrium relaxation analysis of a quasi-one-dimensional frustrated XY model for charge-density waves in ring-shaped crystals

We propose a model for charge density waves in ring shaped crystals, which depicts frustration between intra- and inter-chain couplings coming from cylindrical bending. It is then mapped to a three dimensional uniformly frustrated XY model with one dimensional anisotropy in connectivity. The nonequilibrium relaxation dynamics is investigated by Monte Carlo simulations to find a phase transition which is quite different from that of usual whisker crystal. We also find that the low temperature state is a three dimensional phase vortex lattice with a two dimensional phase coherence in a cylindrical shell and the system shows power law relaxation in the ordered phase.Comment: 6 pages, 6 epsfiles, revised versio
