✦ Synopsis


The cellular automaton model is used to simulate diffusion (with activation migration energy Era) and aggregation (with full capture and binding energy Eo) of point particles in 2D. A sharp dynamical phase transition is found that separates a dynamical phase (with many small aggregates and mobile particles, which are homogeneously distributed) and a static phase (with few big pileups of aggregates and many immobile particles, which are inhomogeneously distributed). It is similar to the Biham-Levine-Middleton jamming transition (O. Biham, A.A. Middleton and D. Levine, Phys. Rev. A 46 (1992) R6124), which is a function of the particle concentration. In addition to this, we found that the transition is a function of balance between energies E,,, and Eb. The main parameters, namely, concentration of free movable particles, the number of aggregates, the number of pile-ups of aggregates, undergo sharp changes in the narrow range of K = exp( ( Eh--Em)/kBT). Self-organization effects and mechanisms of selection between inhomogeneities are studied and discussed. Manifestations of the transition in real physical systems (two-dimensional surface nanostructures, non-crystallographic defect structures, stone ripples, etc.) are discussed.

A self-organized chemical system is described by a set of rate equations for a primary and a partial system. The partial system acts as an internal driving force to regulate the primary system. Thermal equilibrium of the primary system is broken by coupling with the partial system and there is a cha

We apply here the Monte Carlo Metropolis method to a known atom-phonon coupling model for 1D spin transition compounds (STC). These inorganic molecular systems can switch under thermal or optical excitation, between two states in thermodynamical competition, i.e. high spin (HS) and low spin (LS). In
