Statistical investigation of the cross sections of wave clusters in the three-dimensional Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld model

Abstract

We consider the three-dimensional (3D) Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld model in a cubic lattice. Along with analyzing the 3D problem, the geometrical structure of the two-dimensional (2D) cross section of waves is investigated. By analyzing the statistical observables defined in the cross sections, it is shown that the model in that plane (named as 2D-induced model) is in the critical state and fulfills the finite-size scaling hypothesis. The analysis of the critical loops that are interfaces of the 2D-induced model is of special importance in this paper. Most importantly, we see that their fractal dimension is D(f)=1.387±0.005, which is compatible with the fractal dimension of the external perimeter of geometrical spin clusters of 2D critical Ising model. Some hyperscaling relations between the exponents of the model are proposed and numerically confirmed. We then address the problem of conformal invariance of the mentioned domain walls using Schramm-Lowener evolution (SLE). We found that they are described by SLE with the diffusivity parameter κ=2.8±0.2, nearly consistent with observed fractal dimension.

An electronic avalanche model for metal–insulator transition in two dimensional electron gas

“…In the critical regime (in the vicinity of the critical point), r cut decreases as |T − T c | increases (T c is the critical temperature). One expects that r cut (T, L) ∼ ζ, so that one can interpret r cut (T, L) as the correlation length [73,74]. Percolation probability and SCP are the other geometrical quantities considered in this work.…”

Some Properties of Sandpile Models as Prototype of Self-Organized Critical Systems

“…6(a) shows the plot of log(M 3 ) in terms of log(R 3 ) whose slope is γ M3R3 ≡ D M3 F which is the 3D mass fractal dimension for L = 300 and various α's. We note that D M3 F (α = 0) 2.96 ± 0.02 [173]. Interestingly it is seen that the graphs smoothly cross over to the large scale regions in which the slope (fractal dimension) (m IR ≡ γ IR M3R3 ) is different from the slope in the smallscale region with the slope m UV ≡ γ UV M3R3 .…”

Scale-invariant puddles in graphene: Geometric properties of electron-hole distribution at the Dirac point

“…(5) we have plotted the scaling relation between C(r) and r. In Table. I we report the scaling exponent α l for disorder potential V D and carrier density distribution n. We have also computed the total variance W (L), from which the exponent α g is extracted using a scaling form Eq. (17). The results are given in Fig.…”

“…The ultimate limit (zero chemical potential) is expected contain very different physics relative to high-density limit, since the charge fluctuation is maximal in this limit, which is not understood properly yet. One important question in the graphene physics is the existence or absence of the carrier charge self-similarity which is expected to present in scale-free systems [15][16][17][18] . Graphene as a zero-gap system has the chance to carry this property in the zero chemical potential.…”
