Finite-cubic

Table III.5 gives a comparison of these two representations of the data for (n) for nearest-neighbor random walks on finite, cubic lattices with a centrosymmetric trap and subject to periodic boundary conditions. A similar analysis [14] shows that for d = 3, tetrahedral lattices (v — 4)...

The cubic ternary complex model takes into the account the fact that both the active and inactive receptor species must have a finite affinity for G-proteins [26-28], The two receptor species are denoted [Ra] (active state receptor able to activate G-proteins) and [RJ (inactive state receptors). These can form species [R,G] and [RaG] spontaneously, and species [ARiG] and [ARaG] in the presence of ligand. 

The basic principles are described in many textbooks [24, 26]. They are thus only sketchily presented here. In a conventional classical molecular dynamics calculation, a system of particles is placed within a cell of fixed volume, most frequently cubic in size. A set of velocities is also assigned, usually drawn from a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution appropriate to the temperature of interest and selected in a way so as to make the net linear momentum zero. The subsequent trajectories of the particles are then calculated using the Newton equations of motion. Employing the finite difference method, this set of differential equations is transformed into a set of algebraic equations, which are solved by computer. The particles are assumed to interact through some prescribed force law. The dispersion, dipole-dipole, and polarization forces are typically included whenever possible, they are taken from the literature.

Abstract. Within the context of the Thermofield Dynamics, we introduce generalized Bogoliubov transformations which accounts simultaneously for spatial com-pactification and thermal effects. As a specific application of such a formalism, we consider the Casimir effect for Maxwell and Dirac fields at finite temperature. Particularly, we determine the temperature at which the Casimir pressure for a massless fermionic field in a cubic box changes its nature from attractive to repulsive. This critical temperature is approximately 100 MeV when the edge of the cube is of the order of the confining length ( 1 fm) for baryons. 

To show how powerful our method is, let us consider fermions confined in a tridimensional box at finite temperature. The energy-momentum tensor is a long expression for the general case of a parallelepiped box, but it follows from Eq. (29) that the Casimir energy for a cubic box of edge L is given by... 

It is interesting to note that we have calculated the casimir pressure at finite temperature for parallel plates, a square wave-guide and a cubic box. For a fermion field in a cubic box with an edge of 1.0 fm, which is of the order of the nuclear dimensions, the critical temperature is 100 MeV. Such a result will have implications for confinement of quarks in nucleons. However such an analysis will require a realistic calculation, a spherical geometry, with full account of color and flavor degrees of freedom of quarks and gluons.

A useful trial variational function is the eigenfunction of the operator L for the parabolic barrier which has the form of an error function. The variational parameters are the location of the barrier top and the barrier frequency. The parabolic barrierpotential corresponds to an infinite barrier height. The derivation of finite barrier corrections for cubic and quartic potentials may be found in Refs. 44,45,100. Finite barrier corrections for two dimensional systems have been derived with the aid of the Rayleigh quotient in Ref 101. Thus far though, the... 

In simple cubic compounds like NiO, MnO and CoO the metal ions lie on a face-centred cubic. As pointed out by Ziman (1952), for this structure and for spherical orbitals, antiferromagnetism with a finite Neel temperature must be due to interaction between next-nearest neighbours, because in any antiferromagnetic structure each moment will have as many parallel as antiparallel neighbours. In NiO and CoO the orbitals are not spherical, but in MnO the 3d5 ion is spherical In this compound the Neel temperature is therefore anomalously low, and there remains abnormally strong short-range order above the Neel temperature (Battles 1971).

A negative value of K (= Aej lhT) indicates a preference for compact conformations and vice versa. Swelling induces the upturn, due to finite extensibility, to occur at an earlier stage...
