Abstract:
In the late seventies an increasing interest in the scaling theory of Anderson localization led to new efforts to understand the conductance of systems which scatter electrons elastically. The conductance and its relation to the scattering matrix emerged as an important subject. This, coupled with the desire to find explicit manifestations of single electron interference, led to the emergence of mesoscopic physics. We review electron transport phenomena which can be expressed elegantly in terms of the scattering matrix. Of particular interest are phenomena which depend not only on transmission probabilities but on both amplitude and phase of scattering matrix elements.

Abstract:
Interfaces are common microstructures and occur in natural and synthetic materials on the local to mesoscopic lenght scale, like ferroic twin walls or interfaces between amorphous and crystalline material. Individual interfaces can be thin walls extended over a few unit cells or even thicker walls up to several 10000 Å. Walls show distinct physical properties and can therefore influence the macroscopic materials properties considerably. Examples of wall structures and their local features related with ferroic, non-ferroic and biomaterials are presented in this work.

Abstract:
AbstractThe macroscopic behaviour of minerals is not always directly related to their crystalline structure at the atomic scale but often depends explicitly on mesoscopic (nanometer–micrometer) features. This paper reviews various cases where the macroscopic phenomena differ from those of the bulk, with structural and chemical variations related to: domain walls, leading to enhanced or reduced transport properties; surfaces controlling growth morphologies; and radiation-damaged minerals where the interface between the amorphous and crystalline phase is believed to play a key role in hydrothermal leaching behaviour. Minerals explicitly discussed are: quartz, agate, hydroxylapatite, cordierite and metamict zircon.

In order to study nanostructured materials, a fundamental framework of the theory and the computer-experimental studies is established. The essential characteristics of the mesoscopic phase transitions and critical phenomena in these materials are evaluated by means of this approach. For nanostructured materials consisting of inert gas atoms, we study mesoscopic phase transitions and critical phenomena by generalizing the renormalization theory and the Metropolis Monte Carlo method. The results obtained by the both methods are reported in two papers: computational results in the present paper and the theoretical results in the paper which follows.

Abstract:
In this paper, a new lattice Boltzmann model for the two-component system of coupled sine-Gordon equations is presented by using the coupled mesoscopic Boltzmann equations. Via the Chapman-Enskog multiscale expansion, the macroscopical governing evolution system can be recovered correctly by selecting suitable discrete equilibrium distribution functions and the amending functions. The mesoscopic model has been validated by several related issues where analytic solutions are available. The experimental results show that the numerical results are consistent with the analytic solutions. From the mesoscopic point of view, the present approach provides a new way for studying the complex nonlinear partial differential equations arising in natural nonlinear phenomena of engineering and science.

We describe classical chaotic motion in terms of diffusion in configurational space. This approach is illustrated for chaotic billiards and an oscillator with anharmonic coupling. It is argued that in the quantum limit, physical phenomena ordinarily associated with disordered metals, such as localization and mesoscopic phenomena, carry over to chaotic systems in general which are in the universality class of the nonlinear σ model.

It is at the origin of both polar and spin cluster glass forming and is altogether a novel multiferroic system.

Abstract Plasmonic phenomena in metals are commonly explored within the framework of classical electrodynamics and semiclassical models for the interactions of light with free-electron matter.

The review offers a colloquial introduction to recent mesoscopic formalism, ranging from quantum-corrected hydrodynamics to microscopic surface-response formalism, offering also perspectives on possible future avenues.

A brief description of excited and ground states in two-dimensional quantum dots and rotating nuclei is presented within a mean field approach and a random-phase approximation (RPA). We discuss the procedure to restore the rotational symmetry broken at the mean field, which can be extended for other symmetry breaking cases. We propose to consider a disappearance of collective excitations in the rotating frame as a manifestation of symmetry breaking phenomena of the rotating mean field. In particular, we demonstrate that the disappearance of a collective octupole mode in the rotating frame in 162 Yb gives rise to the nonaxial octupole deformation.

Abstract:
Cell plasma membranes display a dramatically rich structural complexity characterized by functional sub-wavelength domains with specific lipid and protein composition. Under favorable experimental conditions, patterned morphologies can also be observed in vitro on model systems such as supported membranes or lipid vesicles. Lipid mixtures separating in liquid-ordered and liquid-disordered phases below a demixing temperature play a pivotal role in this context. Protein-protein and protein-lipid interactions also contribute to membrane shaping by promoting small domains or clusters. Such phase separations displaying characteristic length-scales falling in-between the nanoscopic, molecular scale on the one hand and the macroscopic scale on the other hand, are named mesophases in soft condensed matter physics. In this review, we propose a classification of the diverse mechanisms leading to mesophase separation in biomembranes. We distinguish between mechanisms relying upon equilibrium thermodynamics and those involving out-of-equilibrium mechanisms, notably active membrane recycling. In equilibrium, we especially focus on the many mechanisms that dwell on an up-down symmetry breaking between the upper and lower bilayer leaflets. Symmetry breaking is an ubiquitous mechanism in condensed matter physics at the heart of several important phenomena. In the present case, it can be either spontaneous (domain buckling) or explicit, i.e., due to an external cause (global or local vesicle bending properties). Whenever possible, theoretical predictions and simulation results are confronted to experiments on model systems or living cells, which enables us to identify the most realistic mechanisms from a biological perspective.

AbstractThe martensitic transformation has so far been studied without considering its interaction with point defects. In this article, we shall show that such interaction, which stems from a universal symmetry property of point defects, can create a rich spectrum of exotic multiscale phenomena in martensitic materials. These phenomena include unique short-range diffusion at the atomic or nano level, remarkable domain-pattern memory at the mesoscopic level, and peculiar rubber-like behavior and aging-induced two-way shape memory at the macroscopic level. Exotic multiscale phenomena may also be found in a wide range of transforming materials, such as ferroelastic, ferroelectric, and ferromagnetic materials. These novel effects may provide new opportunities for these important materials.

Abstract:
Detailed studies of the intriguing field-dependent dynamics and transport properties of confined flowing ferrofluids require efficient mesoscopic simulation methods that account for fluctuating ferrohydrodynamics. Here, we propose such a new mesoscopic model for the dynamics and flow of ferrofluids, where we couple the multi-particle collision dynamics method as a solver for the fluctuating hydrodynamics equations to the stochastic magnetization dynamics of suspended magnetic nanoparticles. This hybrid model is validated by reproducing the magnetoviscous effect in Poiseuille flow, obtaining the rotational viscosity in quantitative agreement with theoretical predictions. We also illustrate the new method for the benchmark problem of flow around a square cylinder. Interestingly, we observe that the length of the recirculation region is increased, whereas the drag coefficient is decreased in ferrofluids when an external magnetic field is applied compared with the field-free case at the same effective Reynolds number. The presence of thermal fluctuations and the flexibility of this particle-based mesoscopic method provide a promising tool to investigate a broad range of flow phenomena of magnetic fluids, and the method could also serve as an efficient way to simulate solvent effects when colloidal particles are immersed in ferrofluids.

Abstract:
In this paper, a new mesoscopic polygon which possesses smooth transition at its corners is proposed. Because of the particularity of structure, this kind of mesoscopic polygon can also be a geometrical superlattice. The geometrical effects on the electron states and persistent current are investigated comprehensively in the presence of magnetic flux. We find that the particular geometric structure of the polygon induces an effective periodic potential which results in gaps in the energy spectrum. The changes of gaps show the consistency with the geometrical two-ness of this new polygon. This electronic structure and the corresponding physical properties are found to be periodic with period ϕ0 in the magnetic flux ϕ and can be controlled by the geometric method. We also consider the Rahsba spin-orbit interaction which double the energy levels splitting and leads to an additional small zigzag in one period of the persistent current. These new phenomena may be useful for the applications in quantum device design in the future.

Full text
Abstract:
We present SuperConga, an open-source framework for simulating equilibrium properties of unconventional and ballistic singlet superconductors, confined to two-dimensional (2D) mesoscopic grains in a perpendicular external magnetic field, at arbitrary low temperatures. It aims at being both fast and easy to use, enabling research without access to a computer cluster, and visualization in real-time with OpenGL. The core is written in C++ and CUDA, exploiting the embarrassingly parallel nature of the quasiclassical theory of superconductivity by utilizing the parallel computational power of modern graphics processing units. The framework self-consistently computes both the superconducting order-parameter and the induced vector potential and finds the current density, free energy, induced flux density, local density of states (LDOS), and the magnetic moment. A user-friendly Python frontend is provided, enabling simulation parameters to be defined via intuitive configuration files, or via the command-line interface, without requiring a deep understanding of implementation details. For example, complicated geometries can be created with relative ease. The framework ships with simple tools for analyzing and visualizing the results, including an interactive plotter for spectroscopy. An overview of the theory is presented, as well as examples showcasing the framework's capabilities and ease of use. The framework is free to download from https://gitlab.com/superconga/superconga , which also links to the extensive user manual, containing even more examples, tutorials, and guides. To demonstrate and benchmark SuperConga, we study the magnetostatics, thermodynamics, and spectroscopy of various phenomena. In particular, we study flux quantization in solenoids, vortex physics, surface Andreev bound-states, and a “phase crystal.” We compare our numeric results with analytics and present experimental observables, e.g., the magnetic moment and LDOS, measurable with, for example, scanning probes, STM, and magnetometry.

Full text
Abstract:
Symmetries play paramount roles in dynamics of physical systems. All theories of quantum physics and microworld including the fundamental Standard Model are constructed on the basis of symmetry principles. In classical physics, the importance and weight of these principles are the same as in quantum physics: dynamics of complex nonlinear statistical systems is straightforwardly dictated by their symmetry or its breaking, as we demonstrate on the example of developed (magneto)hydrodynamic turbulence and the related theoretical models. To simplify the problem, unbounded models are commonly used. However, turbulence is a mesoscopic phenomenon and the size of the system must be taken into account. It turns out that influence of outer length of turbulence is significant and can lead to intermittency. More precisely, we analyze the connection of phenomena such as behavior of statistical correlations of observable quantities, anomalous scaling, and generation of magnetic field by hydrodynamic fluctuations with symmetries such as Galilean symmetry, isotropy, spatial parity and their violation and finite size of the system.

Abstract:
Electronic correlations give rise to fascinating macroscopic phenomena such as superconductivity, magnetism, and topological phases of matter. Although these phenomena manifest themselves macroscopically, fully understanding the underlying microscopic mechanisms often requires probing on multiple length scales. Spatial modulations on the mesoscopic scale are especially challenging to probe, owing to the limited range of suitable experimental techniques. Here, we review recent progress in scanning superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) microscopy. We demonstrate how scanning SQUID combines unmatched magnetic field sensitivity and highly versatile designs, by surveying discoveries in unconventional superconductivity, exotic magnetism, topological states, and more. Finally, we discuss how SQUID microscopy can be further developed to answer the increasing demand for imaging new quantum materials.

Abstract:
Conventional resolution inelastic neutron scattering spectroscopy allows us to explore the behaviour of condensed matter essentially on the time scale of thermal atomic vibrations. By the application of the Neutron Spin Echo trick, which enables us to get around the Liouville theorem limitation of conventional methods, the resolution can be improved very substantially. This opened up the field for the study of a large variety of slow motion phenomena (critical slowing down, relaxation effects, disordered dynamics, soft matter), i.e. the investigation of processes on a mesoscopic time scale between microscopic collision times and macroscopic dynamics.

Abstract:
The occurrence of metastable or stable domain states on mesoscopic length scales seems to be a widespread property of many solids undergoing phase transitions in the presence of quenched random fields. A survey is given on the experimental evidence of domain states in various magnetic, ferroelectric and structural systems. In particular we discuss phenomena like the excess magnetization of field-cooled diluted uniaxial antiferromagnets and its relaxation. The domain state of the relaxor ferroelectric PbM g1/3 Nb 2/3O3 is due to the random distribution of B site cations, whereas dipolar quenched impurities give rise to mesoscopic disorder in K 1−x Li x TaO 3 and Sr 1−x Ca x TiO 3. Spontaneously relaxing quadrupolar domain states are observed in KTa 1−x Nb x O 3. They are probably caused by random strain fields due to ionic size mismatch. The same type of random fields determines the critical behavior of the Jahn-Teller compound DyAs x V 1−x O 4 but merely causes roughening of the natural ferroeleastic twin domain walls.

Abstract:
We give a brief introduction to Luttinger liquids and to the phenomena of electronic transport or conductance in quantum wires. We explain why the subject of transport in Luttinger liquids is relevant and fascinating and review some important results on tunneling through barriers in a one-dimensional quantum wire and the phenomena of persistent currents in mesoscopic rings. We give a brief description of our own work on transport through doubly-crossed Luttinger liquids and transport in the Schulz–Shastry exactly solvable Luttinger-like model. With a view to making this article accessible to researchers in diverse fields such as nuclear physics, particle physics, formal field theory and condensed matter physics, we begin by first giving a brief introduction. In Sec. 1, we explain the words such as "Luttinger liquid" and "transport" in the title. We also motivate the study of this subject by showing that field is very important at the current time from the applications point of view and describe why it is theoretically fascinating. We then give a quick review of some of the important results in the field in Sec. 2, before we go on to describe some work that we have recently done and are doing in this field in Sec. 3. Finally, in Sec. 4, we conclude by re-emphasizing the importance of this area and drawing attention towards future possibilities.

Abstract:
Community detection and structural hole spanner (the node bridging different communities) identification, revealing the mesoscopic and microscopic structural properties of complex networks, have drawn much attention in recent years. As the determinant of mesoscopic structure, communities and structural hole spanners discover the clustering and hierarchy of networks, which has a key impact on transmission phenomena such as epidemic transmission, information diffusion, etc. However, most existing studies address the two tasks independently, which ignores the structural correlation between mesoscale and microscale and suffers from high computational costs. In this article, we propose an algorithm for simultaneously detecting communities and structural hole spanners via hyperbolic embedding (SDHE). Specifically, we first embed networks into a hyperbolic plane, in which, the angular distribution of the nodes reveals community structures of the embedded network. Then, we analyze the critical gap to detect communities and the angular region where structural hole spanners may exist. Finally, we identify structural hole spanners via two-step connectivity. Experimental results on synthetic networks and real networks demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm compared with several state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract:
Transient fuel behavior in a Light Water-cooled Reactor core depends on nuclear properties (Doppler broadening, moderation ratio, and, sometimes, neutron gas temperature etc.) and on variations of thermal-physics parameters (temperature distributions, fuel elongation and moderator density). Usually, in a rough reactor analysis one ignores the very details of temperature distributions largely staying in a frame of so-called adiabatic assumptions (when temperature and density distribution are changing in sync keeping given spatial shapes). In majority of practical applications the radially distributed temperature fields are represented as monotonically smeared ones as if fissile and other materials are homogeneously mixed. Moreover, no one measurement technique allows counting precise correlation between reactivity feedback and in-pellet temperature and materials space-time distributions. However, if fuel is made of Mixed Oxide Plutonium-Uranium compound the behavior of Light Water Reactor would be impacted by an appearance of Pu-rich agglomerates that could be large enough to change physical processes. In such case the fuel reacts on power and temperature variations no more as a homogeneous but a heterogeneous media (on a mesoscopic scale, of course). It leads to changes in a fission product distributions, a fission gas release and, even, to an appearance of multiple components in a Fuel Temperature Coefficient and in a Power Reactivity feedback. These components would depend non-linearly on power, power rate and on some details of a heat transfer. This paper is the only first step of a broad research program where we are estimating the relevant phenomena just by an order of magnitude.
