Symmetrization, two-dimensional

There is another case when the orientational Hamiltonian for nonpolar molecules (2.3.1) on a symmetric two-dimensional lattice is reducible to a quasidipole form, viz. the case of planar orientations of long molecular axes ( s = 90° in expression (2.3.2)) when one can invoke the transformation for doubled orientation angles qy of the unit vectors ej and r ... 

On summing this expression over all pairs of neighboring molecules on symmetric two-dimensional lattices, the second term gives no contribution to the sum, and the third one causes only a negligible correction. The main contributions are provided by the last two terms which together make up the structure of the dipole Hamiltonian, with the constants determined by the parameters of the interactions considered.

Fife refers to a set of partial differential equations like eqs. (6.28) as a propagator—controller system, for reasons that will become clear later. We recall that the small parameter e 1 makes u change much more rapidly than v. It also makes the time scale of the chemical change much shorter than that of the diffusion that is, the diffusion terms are small compared with the chemical rates of change. Note that all the chemistry is in the functions / and g, which are constructed so that neither concentration can grow to infinity. We will want to consider either a one-dimensional geometry (spatial variable x) or a radially symmetric two-dimensional system, like a Petri dish. 

Linear air jets are formed by slots or rectangular openings with a large aspect ratio. The jet flow s are approximately two-dimensional. Air velocities are symmetric in the plane at which air velocities in the cross-section are maximum. At some distance from the diffuser, linear air jets tend to transform info compact jets. 

The Stream Function Stream functions are defined for two-dimensional flow and for three-dimensional axial symmetric flow. The stream function can be used to plot the streamlines of the flow and find the velocity. For two-dimensional Bow the velocity components can be calculated in Cartesian coordinates by... 

Another simple example is the traiditional two-dimensional random-walk on a four-neighbor Euclidean lattice [toff89]. Despite the fact that the underlying lattice is symmetric only with respect to rotations that are multiples of 90 deg, the probability distribution p(s, y) for a particle that begins its random walk at the origin becomes circularly symmetric in the limit as time t —> oo p x,y,t) —> (see figure 12.12). 

Fig. 12.12. A circularly symmetric Gaussian probability distribution p x,y) describing a two-dimensional random walk emerges for large times on the macroscopic level, despite the fact that the underlying Euclidean lattice is anisotropic.

The simplest situation is the symmetrical one (NA = NB), with the solvent equally good for both blocks. We imagine that the excluded volume interactions of A and B are stronger than the A-B repulsive interactions so that the overall structure of the layer is like that of a single component in other words, both components are equally stretched. The issue is whether or not they are homogeneously mixed with one another in the monolayer. This is essentially a two-dimensional random mixing process. In that spirit, we write the free energy... 

From the two-dimensional, graphite-like clusters, the extension to three-dimensional structures is obvious. Symmetric structures developed in a similar fashion to the planar systems would grow in three dimensions with increasing N, and the number of atoms would increase faster. In this work clusters of T symmetry were studied, resembling a small fragment of a diamond structure. Only systems with saturated external bonds were considered. The number of carbon and hydrogen atoms in such a structure is given by... 

Analyzing orientational structures of adsorbates, assume that the molecular centers of mass are rigidly fixed by an adsorption potential to form a two-dimensional lattice, molecular orientations being either unrestricted (in the limit of a weak angular dependence of the adsorption potential) or reduced to several symmetric (equivalent) directions in the absence of lateral interactions. In turn, lateral interactions should be substantially anisotropic. 

The A and B labels in Table 1 follow the convention that A s have characters of +1 for the rotation axis of highest order (C2 in the present case) while B s have character -1. A, by convention, is the totally symmetric i.r., since all operations of the group turn something of A symmetry into itself. Every group has a totally symmetric i.r. I.r. s with suffix 1 are symmetric (character +1) under av, whereas those with suffix 2 are antisymmetric (character -1). Table 1 is an example of a character table. Two-dimensional representations are denoted by symbols E.
