Non-additive properties of finite 1D Ising chains with long-range interactions

We study the statistical properties of Ising spin chains with finite (although arbitrary large) range of interaction between the elements. We examine mesoscopic subsystems (fragments of an Ising chain) with the lengths comparable with the interaction range. The equivalence of the Ising chains and the multi-step Markov sequences is used for calculating different non-additive statistical quantities of a chain and its fragments. In particular, we study the variance of fluctuating magnetization of fragments, magnetization of the chain in the external magnetic field, etc. Asymptotical expressions for the non-additive energy and entropy of the mesoscopic fragments are derived in the limiting cases of weak and strong interactions.Comment: 20 pages, 4 figure

Influence of long-range correlated surface and near the surface disorder on the process of adsorption of long-flexible polymer chains

The influence of long-range correlated surface and decaying near surface disorder with quenched defects is studied. We consider a correlation function for the defects of the form $\frac{e^{-z/\xi}}{r^{a}}$, where $a<d-1$ and $z$ being the coordinate in the direction perpendicular to the surface and $r$ denotes the distance parallel to the surface. We investigate the process of adsorption of long-flexible polymer chains with excluded volume interactions on a "marginal" and attractive wall in the framework of renormalization group field theoretical approach up to first order of perturbation theory in a double ($\epsilon$,$\delta$)- expansion ($\epsilon=4-d$, $\delta=3-a$) for the semi-infinite $|\phi|^4$ $O(m,n)$ model with the above mentioned type of surface and near the surface disorder in the limit $m,n\to 0$. In particular we study two limiting cases. First, we investigate the scenario where the chain's extension it much larger then $\xi$. Second, we consider the case where the chain's extension is of the order of $\xi$. For both cases we obtained series for bulk and the whole set of surface critical exponents, characterizing the process of adsorption of long-flexible polymer chains at the surface. The polymer linear dimensions parallel and perpendicular to the surface and the corresponding partition functions as well as the behavior of monomer density profiles and the fraction of adsorbed monomers at the surface and in the volume are studied.Comment: 31 pages, 5 figures, 2 table
