Lattice square

Iiifomiation about the behaviour of the 3D Ising ferromagnet near the critical point was first obtained from high- and low-temperatnre expansions. The expansion parameter in the high-temperatnre series is tanli K, and the corresponding parameter in the low-temperatnre expansion is exp(-2A ). A 2D square lattice is self-dual in the sense that the bisectors of the line joining the lattice points also fomi a square lattice and the coefficients of the two expansions, for the 2D square lattice system, are identical to within a factor of two. The singularity occurs when... 

The dual lattice is obtained by drawing the bisectors of lines comrecting neighbouring lattice points. Examples of lattices in two dimensions and their duals are shown in figure A2.3.28. A square lattice is self-dual.

The reciprocal lattices shown in figure B 1.21.3 and figure B 1.21.4 correspond directly to the diffraction patterns observed in FEED experiments each reciprocal-lattice vector produces one and only one diffraction spot on the FEED display. It is very convenient that the hemispherical geometry of the typical FEED screen images the reciprocal lattice without distortion for instance, for the square lattice one observes a simple square array of spots on the FEED display. 

A simple illustrative example of reciprocal space is that of a 2D square lattice where the vectors a and b are orthogonal and of length equal to the lattice spacing, a. Here a and b are directed along the same directions as a and b respectively and have a length 1/a...

In a random walk on a square lattice the chain can cross itself. 

A natural question is just how big does Mq have to be to see this ordered phase for M > Mq. It was shown in Ref 189 that Mq <27, a very large upper bound. A direct computation on the Bethe lattice (see Fig. 2) with q neighbors [190,191] gives Mq = [q/ q — 2)f, which would suggest Mq 4 for the square lattice. By transfer matrix methods and by Pirogov-Sinai theory asymptotically (M 1) exact formulas were derived [190,191] for the transition lines between the gas and the crystal phase (M 3.1962/z)...

The effects due to the finite size of crystallites (in both lateral directions) and the resulting effects due to boundary fields have been studied by Patrykiejew [57], with help of Monte Carlo simulation. A solid surface has been modeled as a collection of finite, two-dimensional, homogeneous regions and each region has been assumed to be a square lattice of the size Lx L (measured in lattice constants). Patches of different size contribute to the total surface with different weights described by a certain size distribution function C L). Following the basic assumption of the patchwise model of surface heterogeneity [6], the patches have been assumed to be independent one of another. 

To present briefly the different possible scenarios for the growth of multilayer films on a homogeneous surface, it is very convenient to use a simple lattice gas model language [168]. Assuming that the surface is a two-dimensional square lattice of sites and that also the entire space above the surface is divided into small elements, forming a cubic lattice such that each of the cells can be occupied by one adsorbate particle at the most, the Hamiltonian of the system can be written as [168,169]... 

For the extension to two dimensions we consider a square lattice with nearest-neighbor interactions on a strip with sites in one direction and M sites in the second so that, with cyclic boundary conditions in the second dimension as well, we get a toroidal lattice with of microstates. The occupation numbers at site i in the 1-D case now become a set = ( ,i, /25 5 /m) of occupation numbers of M sites along the second dimension, and the transfer matrix elements are generalized to...

Let us consider a simple self-avoiding walk (SAW) on a lattice. The net interaction of solvent-solvent, chain-solvent and chain-chain is summarized in the excluded volume between the monomers. The empty lattice sites then represent the solvent. In order to fulfill the excluded volume requirement each lattice site can be occupied only once. Since this is the only requirement, each available conformation of an A-step walk has the same probability. If we fix the first step, then each new step is taken with probability q— 1), where q is the coordination number of the lattice ( = 4 for a square lattice, = 6 for a simple cubic lattice, etc.). 

Firstly, we consider 2-D square lattice with nearest-neighbour interactions. 

For 2D square lattice, the symmetry operator R is chosen to be 4-fold R4ri=ri. 

The example we have reported previously is on a single component system in a 2-D square lattice [3], An atomic position r is written by the polar coordinates, r = (p,6). In the discretization, we draw a circle of radius p=nb where b is a constant and n takes an integer value. On the n-th circle, we choose 8n points. Including the origin, the total number of points on and inside the n=5 circle is 121. As for the... 

Some evolution types observed in our simulations are shown in Figs. 2-7. The simulations were performed for the same 2D alloy model as that used in Refs. , on a square lattice of 128x128 sites with periodic boundary conditions. The as-quenched distribution Ci(0) was characterized by its mean value c and small random fluctuations Sci = 0.01. The intersite atomic jumps were supposed to occur only between nearest neighbors and we used the reduced time variable t = <7,m-... 

In Fig. 12 we present some results of MFKEbbased simulation of spinodal decomposition with the vacancy-mediated exchange mechanism. We use the same 2D model on a square lattice with the nearest-neighbor interaction and Fp = 0 as in Refs., ... 

Chowdbury and Stauffer found that this model yields only three fixed points healthy KH1H2S1S2 = 00000), immune (01111) and sick (11111). If placed on a square lattice as discussed above, the entire system becomes sick after a short time. 

Now consider a latticized version of this model. Populate a square lattice -which may represent a tissue sample in which the modeled immune reactions are assumed to occur - with each of the four cell types C, H, M and V and initialize the system so that a fraction po of each cell type is in its high (i.e. = 1) concentration state. Assign the value 1 to each site i,j) if the sum of the concentrations of its nearest neighbors that are of the same cell type as site (i, j) is nonzero. After all sites have been assigned new values in this manner, update the system according to equations 8.92.
