Coherent spin dynamics of nanomolecules and magnetic nanoclusters

Spin dynamics of nanomolecules and nanoclusters are analyzed. The nanosizes of these objects make it possible to consider them as single-domain magnets with a large total spin, where the motion of the spins of all atoms, composing a nanocluster, occurs in a coherent way. Another meaning of coherence in spin dynamics is the coherent spin motion of several nanomolecules or nanoclusters. Different approaches for treating spin dynamics are compared and the main mechanisms influencing the spin motion are studied. Spin dynamics of separate magnetic nanomolecules and nanoclusters are investigated, as well as the spin dynamics of the ensembles of these nano-objects.

Statistics of Multiscale Fluctuations in Macromolecular Systems

An approach is suggested for treating multiscale fluctuations in macromolecular systems. The emphasis is on the statistical properties of such fluctuations. The approach is illustrated by a macromolecular system with mesoscopic fluctuations between the states of atomic orbitals. Strong-orbital and weak-orbital couplings fluctuationally arise, being multiscale in space and time. Statistical properties of the system are obtained by averaging over the multiscale fluctuations. The existence of such multiscale fluctuations causes phase transitions between strong-coupling and weak-coupling states. These transitions are connected with structure and size transformations of macromolecules. An approach for treating density and size multiscale fluctuations by means of classical statistical mechanics is also advanced.

Modeling symbiosis by interactions through species carrying capacities

We introduce a mathematical model of symbiosis between different species by taking into account the influence of each species on the carrying capacities of the others. The modeled entities can pertain to biological and ecological societies or to social, economic and financial societies. Our model includes three basic types: symbiosis with direct mutual interactions, symbiosis with asymmetric interactions, and symbiosis without direct interactions. In all cases, we provide a complete classification of all admissible dynamical regimes. The proposed model of symbiosis turned out to be very rich, as it exhibits four qualitatively different regimes: convergence to stationary states, unbounded exponential growth, finite-time singularity, and finite-time death or extinction of species.

Double-Well Optical Lattices with Atomic Vibrations and Mesoscopic Disorder

Double-well optical lattice in an insulating state is considered. The influence of atomic vibrations and mesoscopic disorder on the properties of the lattice are studied. Vibrations lead to the renormalization of atomic interactions. The occurrence of mesoscopic disorder results in the appearance of first-order phase transitions between the states with different levels of atomic imbalance. The existence of a nonuniform external potential, such as trapping potential, essentially changes the lattice properties, suppressing the disorder fraction and rising the transition temperature.

Extreme events in population dynamics with functional carrying capacity

A class of models is introduced describing the evolution of population species whose carrying capacities are functionals of these populations. The functional dependence of the carrying capacities reflects the fact that the correlations between populations can be realized not merely through direct interactions, as in the usual predator-prey Lotka-Volterra model, but also through the influence of species on the carrying capacities of each other. This includes the self-influence of each kind of species on its own carrying capacity with delays. Several examples of such evolution equations with functional carrying capacities are analyzed. The emphasis is given on the conditions under which the solutions to the equations display extreme events, such as finite-time death and finite-time singularity. Any destructive action of populations, whether on their own carrying capacity or on the carrying capacities of co-existing species, can lead to the instability of the whole population that is revealed in the form of the appearance of extreme events, finite-time extinctions or booms followed by crashes.

Fast magnetization reversal of nanoclusters in resonator

An effective method for ultrafast magnetization reversal of nanoclusters is suggested. The method is based on coupling a nanocluster to a resonant electric circuit. This coupling causes the appearance of a magnetic feedback field acting on the cluster, which drastically shortens the magnetization reversal time. The influence of the resonator properties, nanocluster parameters, and external fields on the magnetization dynamics and reversal time is analyzed. The magnetization reversal time can be made many orders shorter than the natural relaxation time. The reversal is studied for both the cases of a single nanocluster as well as for the system of many nanoclusters interacting through dipole forces.

Possibility of superradiance by magnetic nanoclusters

The possibility of realizing spin superradiance by an assembly of magnetic nanoclusters is analyzed. The known obstacles for realizing such a coherent radiation by magnetic nanoclusters are their large magnetic anisotropy, strong dephasing dipole interactions, and an essential nonuniformity of their sizes. In order to give a persuasive conclusion, a microscopic theory is developed, providing an accurate description of nanocluster spin dynamics. It is shown that, despite the obstacles, it is feasible to organize such a setup that magnetic nanoclusters would produce strong superradiant emission.

Mesoscopic disorder in double-well optical lattices

Double-well optical lattices are considered, each cite of which is formed by a double-well potential. The lattice is assumed to be in an insulating state and order and disorder are defined with respect to the displacement of atoms inside the double-well potential. It is shown that in such lattices, in addition to purely ordered and disordered states, there can exist an intermediate mixed state, where, inside a generally ordered lattice, there appear disordered regions of mesoscopic size.

Extrapolation and interpolation of asymptotic series by self-similar approximants

The problem of extrapolation and interpolation of asymptotic series is considered. Several new variants of improving the accuracy of the self-similar approximants are suggested. The methods are illustrated by examples typical of chemical physics, when one is interested in finding the equation of state for a strongly interacting system. A special attention is payed to the study of the basic properties of fluctuating fluid membranes. It is shown that these properties can be well described by means of the method of self-similar approximants. For this purpose, the method has been generalized in order to give accurate predictions at infinity for a function, whose behavior is known only at the region of its variable close to zero. The obtained results for fluctuating fluid membranes are in good agreement with the known numerical data.

Dynamics of quantum dot superradiance

The possibility of realizing the superradiant regime of electromagnetic emission by the assembly of quantum dots is considered. The overall dynamical process is analyzed in detail. It is shown that there can occur several qualitatively different stages of evolution. The process starts with dipolar waves triggering the spontaneous radiation of individual dots. This corresponds to the fluctuation stage, when the dots are not yet noticeably correlated with each other. The second is the quantum stage, when the dot interactions through the common radiation field become more important, but the coherence is not yet developed. The third is the coherent stage, when the dots radiate coherently, emitting a superradiant pulse. After the superradiant pulse, the system of dots relaxes to an incoherent state in the relaxation stage. If there is no external permanent pumping, or the effective dot interactions are weak, the system tends to a stationary state during the last stationary stage, when coherence dies out to a low, practically negligible, level. In the case of permanent pumping, there exists the sixth stage of pulsing superradiance, when the system of dots emits separate coherent pulses.

Punctuated evolution due to delayed carrying capacity

A new delay equation is introduced to describe the punctuated evolution of complex nonlinear systems. A detailed analytical and numerical investigation provides the classification of all possible types of solutions for the dynamics of a population in the four main regimes dominated respectively by: (i) gain and competition, (ii) gain and cooperation, (iii) loss and competition and (iv) loss and cooperation. Our delay equation may exhibit bistability in some parameter range, as well as a rich set of regimes, including monotonic decay to zero, smooth exponential growth, punctuated unlimited growth, punctuated growth or alternation to a stationary level, oscillatory approach to a stationary level, sustainable oscillations, finite-time singularities as well as finite-time death.

Stable States of Biological Organisms

A novel model of biological organisms is advanced, treating an organism as a self-consistent system subject to a pathogen flux. The principal novelty of the model is that it describes not some parts, but a biological organism as a whole. The organism is modeled by a five-dimensional dynamical system. The organism homeostasis is described by the evolution equations for five interacting components: healthy cells, ill cells, innate immune cells, specific immune cells, and pathogens. The stability analysis demonstrates that, in a wide domain of the parameter space, the system exhibits robust structural stability. There always exist four stable stationary solutions characterizing four qualitatively differing states of the organism: alive state, boundary state, critical state, and dead state.

Endogenous versus Exogenous Origins of Diseases

Many illnesses are associated with an alteration of the immune system homeostasis due to any combination of factors, including exogenous bacterial insult, endogenous breakdown (e.g., development of a disease that results in immuno suppression), or an exogenous hit like surgery that simultaneously alters immune responsiveness and provides access to bacteria, or genetic disorder. We conjecture that, as a consequence of the co-evolution of the immune system of individuals with the ecology of pathogens, the homeostasis of the immune system requires the influx of pathogens. This allows the immune system to keep the ever present pathogens under control and to react and adjust fast to bursts of infections. We construct the simplest and most general system of rate equations which describes the dynamics of five compartments: healthy cells, altered cells, adaptive and innate immune cells, and pathogens. We study four regimes obtained with or without auto-immune disorder and with or without spontaneous proliferation of infected cells. Over all regimes, we find that seven different states are naturally described by the model: (i) strong healthy immune system, (ii) healthy organism with evanescent immune cells, (iii) chronic infections, (iv) strong infections, (v) cancer, (vi) critically ill state and (vii) death. The analysis of stability conditions demonstrates that these seven states depend on the balance between the robustness of the immune system and the influx of pathogens.

Regulating atomic imbalance in double-well lattices

An insulating optical lattice with double-well sites is considered. In the case of the unity filling factor, an effective Hamiltonian in the pseudospin representation is derived. A method is suggested for manipulating the properties of the system by varying the shape of the double-well potential. In particular, it is shown that the atomic imbalance can be varied at will and a kind of the Morse-alphabet sequences can be created.

Bose systems in spatially random or time-varying potentials

Bose systems, subject to the action of external random potentials, are considered. For describing the system properties, under the action of spatially random potentials of arbitrary strength, the stochastic mean-field approximation is employed. When the strength of disorder increases, the extended Bose-Einstein condensate fragments into spatially disconnected regions, forming a granular condensate. Increasing the strength of disorder even more transforms the granular condensate into the normal glass. The influence of time-dependent external potentials is also discussed. Fast varying temporal potentials, to some extent, imitate the action of spatially random potentials. In particular, strong time-alternating potential can induce the appearance of a nonequilibrium granular condensate.

Nonlinear dynamics of ultracold gases in double-well lattices

An ultracold gas is considered, loaded into a lattice, each site of which is formed by a double-well potential. Initial conditions, after the loading, correspond to a nonequilibrium state. The nonlinear dynamics of the system, starting with a nonequilibrium state, is analysed in the local-field approximation. The importance of taking into account attenuation, caused by particle collisions, is emphasized. The presence of this attenuation dramatically influences the system dynamics.

Cold atoms in double-well optical lattices

Cold atoms, loaded into an optical lattice with double-well sites, are considered. Pseudospin representation for an effective Hamiltonian is derived. The system in equilibrium displays two phases, ordered and disordered. The second-order phase transition between the phases can be driven either by temperature or by changing the system parameters. Collective pseudospin excitations have a gap disappearing at the phase-transition point. Dynamics of atoms is studied, when they are loaded into the lattice in an initially nonequilibrium state. It is shown that the temporal evolution of atoms, contrary to their equilibrium thermodynamics, cannot be described in the mean-field approximation, since it results in a structurally unstable dynamical system, but a more accurate description is necessary taking account of attenuation effects.

Self-similar factor approximants for evolution equations and boundary-value problems

The method of self-similar factor approximants is shown to be very convenient for solving different evolution equations and boundary-value problems typical of physical applications. The method is general and simple, being a straightforward two-step procedure. First, the solution to an equation is represented as an asymptotic series in powers of a variable. Second, the series are summed by means of the self-similar factor approximants. The obtained expressions provide highly accurate approximate solutions to the considered equations. In some cases, it is even possible to reconstruct exact solutions for the whole region of variables, starting from asymptotic series for small variables. This can become possible even when the solution is a transcendental function. The method is shown to be more simple and accurate than different variants of perturbation theory with respect to small parameters, being applicable even when these parameters are large. The generality and accuracy of the method are illustrated by a number of evolution equations as well as boundary value problems.
