Localization-Delocalization Transition In A Two-Dimensional Quantum Percolation Model, M. F. Islam, H. Nakanishi Jan 2008

Localization-Delocalization Transition In A Two-Dimensional Quantum Percolation Model, M. F. Islam, H. Nakanishi

Department of Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

We study the hopping transport of a quantum particle through randomly diluted percolation clusters in two dimensions realized both on the square and triangular lattices. We investigate the nature of localization of the particle by calculating the transmission coefficient as a function of energy (-2 < E < 2 in units of the hopping integral in the tight-binding Hamiltonian) and disorder, q (probability that a given site of the lattice is not available to the particle). Our study based on finite-size scaling suggests the existence of delocalized states that depends on energy and the amount of disorder present in the system. For energies away from the band center (E=0), delocalized states appear only at low disorder (q < 15%). The transmission near the band center is generally very small for any amount of disorder and therefore makes it difficult to locate the transition to delocalized states if any, but our study does indicate a behavior that is weaker than power-law localization. Apart from this localization-delocalization transition, we also find the existence of two different kinds of localization regimes depending on energy and the amount of disorder. For a given energy, states are exponentially localized for sufficiently high disorder. As the disorder decreases, states first show power-law localization before showing a delocalized behavior.

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

Objectives: To develop new methods for studying correlations between the performance and outcome of resuscitation efforts in real-world clinical settings using data recorded by automatic devices such as automatic external defibrillators (AEDs), and to explore effects of shock timing and chest compression depth in the field. Methods: In 695 records of AED use in the pre-hospital setting, continuous compression data were recorded using AEDs capable of measuring sternal motion during compressions, together with timing of delivered shocks and the electrocardiogram. In patients who received at least one shock, putative return of spontaneous circulation (P-ROSC) was defined as a regular, narrow …

Enhancing Information Resources And Instruction With Computational And Chemical Software, Jeremy R. Garritano Jan 2008

Enhancing Information Resources And Instruction With Computational And Chemical Software, Jeremy R. Garritano

Libraries Faculty and Staff Presentations

As the Chemistry Library begins to move journal subscriptions to electronic only access and experiments with e-books, physical space in the Library has been reallocated. One such transformation has allowed for installation of ten new computers within the Library. Not only do these workstations mirror current workstations throughout the rest of the University Libraries system, but they also have been enhanced with additional software for visualization, statistical anal., and data manipulation. As our users deal with more and more data compared to text based resources, adding these computational workstations appeared to be the next logical step. Besides being an open …


Non-Equilibrium Flow Modeling Using High-Order Schemes For The Boltzmann Model Equations, S Chigullapalli, A Venkattraman, Alina A. Alexeenko, M S. Ivanov Jan 2008

Non-Equilibrium Flow Modeling Using High-Order Schemes For The Boltzmann Model Equations, S Chigullapalli, A Venkattraman, Alina A. Alexeenko, M S. Ivanov

School of Aeronautics and Astronautics Faculty Publications

We consider application of higher-order schemes to the Boltzmann model equations with a goal to develop a deterministic computational approach that is accurate and efficient for simulating flows involving a wide range of Knudsen numbers. The kinetic equations are solved for two non-equilibrium flow problems, namely, the structure of a normal shock wave and an unsteady two-dimensional shock tube. The numerical method comprises the discrete velocity method in the velocity space and the finite volume discretization in physical space with different numerical flux schemes: the first-order, the second-order minmod flux limiter as well as a third-order WENO scheme. The normal …
