Abstract:We examine values of the Adinkra Holoraumy-induced Gadget representation space metric over all possible four-color, four-open node, and four-closed node adinkras. Of the 1,358,954,496 gadget matrix elements, only 226,492,416 are non-vanishing and take on one of three values: −1/3, 1/3, or 1 and thus a subspace isomorphic to a description of a body-centered tetrahedral molecule emerges.
SummaryIn this work, we investigate numerically the transport properties of a 2D complex plasma crystal using diffusion of coplanar dust lattice waves. In the limit where the Hamiltonian interactions can be decoupled from the non-Hamiltonian effects, we identify two distinct types of wave transport: Anderson-type delocalization and long-distance excitation. We use a recently-developed spectral approach to evaluate the contribution of the Anderson problem and compare it to the results of the simulation. The benefit of our approach to transport problems is twofold. First, we employ a highly tunable macroscopic hexagonal crystal, which exhibits many-body interactions and allows for the investigation of transport properties at the kinetic level. Second, the analysis of the transport problem in 2D is provided using an innovative spectral approach, which avoids the use of scaling and boundary conditions. The comparison between the analytically predicted and numerically observed wave dynamics allows for the study of important characteristics of this open system. In our simulations, we observe long-distance lattice excitation, which occurs around lattice defects even when the initial perturbation does not spread from the center to the exterior of the crystal. In the decoupled Hamiltonian regime, this many-body effect can be contributed to the dust lattice interaction with the plasma environment.
The transport properties of a disordered two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb lattice are examined numerically using the spectral approach to the quantum percolation problem, characterized by an Andersontype Hamiltonian. In our simulations, substitutional disorder (or doping) is represented by a modified bimodal probability distribution of the on-site energies. The results indicate the existence of extended energy states for nonzero disorder and the emergence of a transition towards localized behavior for critical doping concentration > 0.3%, in agreement with the experimentally observed metal-to-insulator transition in graphene sheet doped with hydrogen.
