Dynamic fluctuations

VER occurs as a result of fluctuating forces exerted by the bath on the system at the system s oscillation frequency O [5]. Fluctuating dynamical forces are characterized by a force-force correlation function. The Fourier transfonn of this force correlation function at Q, denoted n(n), characterizes the quantum mechanical frequency-dependent friction exerted on the system by the bath [5, 8].

In a conventional relaxation kinetics experiment in a closed reaction system, because of mass conservation, the system can be described in a single equation, e.g., SCc(t) = SCc(0)e Rt where R = ((Ca) + ( C b)) + kh- The forward and reverse rate constants are k and k t, respectively. In an open system A, B, and C, can change independently and so three equations, one each for A, B, and C, are required, each equation having contributions from both diffusion and reaction. Consequently, three normal modes rather than one will be required to describe the fluctuation dynamics. Despite this complexity, some general comments about FCS measurements of reaction kinetics are useful. 

The implication of this behavior suggests that there will be a quantitative difference in the kind of step fluctuation dynamics observed for each kinetic law system. For i-kinetics, we expect steps to fluctuate by variations in the flux of adatoms hitting the step from a uniform, quickly moving sea of equilibrated adatoms on the adjoining terrace. In this case, the time to create a step fluctuation of amplitude y (perpendicular to both the surface normal and the average step direction) will be given by... 

We now turn to several examples where these techniques have been applied to peptide hormones, and show how we can study the conformational properties, including conformational minima and fluctuations, dynamics, and energetics of these molecules, and how these properties can in turn be used to design analogs. 

Although the system (17) is relatively simple, it describes very well the fluctuational dynamics of many real physical systems. In particular, a behavior qualitatively similar to the one shown in Fig. 7 was observed recently in the experiments with semiconductor lasers [83,84]. 

However, using a method proposed [60,62,95,112] for experimental analysis of the Hamiltonian flow in an extended phase space of the fluctuating system, we can exploit the analogy between the Wentzel-Freidlin and Pontryagin Hamiltonians arising in the analysis of fluctuations, and the energy-optimal control problem in a nonlinear oscillator. To see how this can be done, let us consider the fluctuational dynamics of the nonlinear oscillator (35).

The simplest example of a classical or quantum dissipative system is a particle evolving in a potential V(x) and coupled linearly to a fluctuating dynamical reservoir or bath. If the bath is only weakly perturbed by the system, it can be considered as linear, described by an ensemble of harmonic oscillators. Starting from the corresponding system-plus-bath Hamiltonian and using some convenient approximations, it is possible to get a description of the dissipative dynamics of the system.
