Charge Transport Characteristics in Doped Organic Semiconductors Using Hall Effect

Numerical computations through the finite element method (FEM) are used to determine the impact of doping on carrier concentration and recombination between charges in time for organic semiconductor diodes having low mobility. The Hall effect is used to determine the effects of doping on the performance and reliability of organic semiconductor devices by accurately modeling these processes. In this work, the number density of charge carriers and Hall voltages are computed for n-type doped semiconductors with two different recombination processes, such as non-Langevin and Langevin-type. The findings reveal that in the Langevin system with β′=1, the number density of charge carriers is almost five and four times lower compared with the non-Langevin system with β′=0.01 for increasing dopant concentrations of Npd = 1 and 3, respectively. The Langevin system also had lower Hall voltages than the steady-state and non-Langevin systems for different magnetic fields with dopants, and the non-Langevin system had nearly identical Hall voltages as the steady-state case. The outcome of the current work provides insights into charge transportation mechanisms in low-mobility doped organic semiconductors with Hall effect measurements to improve device efficiency.

On the Definition of Velocity in Discrete-Time, Stochastic Langevin Simulations

We systematically develop beneficial and practical velocity measures for accurate and efficient statistical simulations of the Langevin equation with direct applications to computational statistical mechanics and molecular dynamics sampling. Recognizing that the existing velocity measures for the most statistically accurate discrete-time Verlet-type algorithms are inconsistent with the simulated configurational coordinate, we seek to create and analyze new velocity companions that both improve existing methods as well as offer practical options for implementation in existing computer codes. The work is based on the set of GJ methods that, of all methods, for any time step within the stability criteria correctly reproduces the most basic statistical features of a Langevin system; namely correct Boltzmann distribution for harmonic potentials and correct transport in the form of drift and diffusion for linear potentials. Several new and improved velocities exhibiting correct drift are identified, and we expand on an earlier conclusion that, generally, only half-step velocities can exhibit correct, time-step independent Maxwell–Boltzmann distributions. Specific practical and efficient algorithms are given in familiar forms, and these are used to numerically validate the analytically derived expectations. One especially simple algorithm is highlighted, and the ability of one of the new on-site velocities to produce statistically correct averages for a particular damping value is specified.

Existence and stability results for a Langevin system with Caputo–Hadamard fractional operators

This paper is devoted to analyzing a new model of a coupled Langevin system with fractional operators under nonlocal antiperiodic integral boundary conditions. This model involves nonlinear Langevin fractional equations with Caputo–Hadamard and Caputo fractional operators. Also, the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the suggested model have been investigated by the fixed-point technique. Moreover, the Hyers–Ulam stability of the solutions has been discussed. Finally, we provide an illustrative example to support the theoretical results.

Irreversibility of stochastic state transitions in Langevin systems with odd elasticity.

Active microscopic objects, such as an enzyme molecule, are modeled by the Langevin system with the odd elasticity, in which energy injection from the substrate to the enzyme is described by the antisymmetric part of the elastic matrix. By applying the Onsager-Machlup integral and large deviation theory to the Langevin system with odd elasticity, we can calculate the cumulant generating function of the irreversibility of the state transition. For an N-component system, we obtain a formal expression of the cumulant generating function and demonstrate that the oddness λ, which quantifies the antisymmetric part of the elastic matrix, leads to higher-order cumulants that do not appear in a passive elastic system. To demonstrate the effect of the oddness under the concrete parameter, we analyze the simplest two-component system and obtain the optimal transition path and cumulant generating function. The cumulants obtained from expansion of the cumulant generating function increase monotonically with the oddness. This implies that the oddness causes the uncertainty of stochastic state transitions.

Existence, uniqueness, and Ulam stability of solutions of fractional conformable Langevin system on the ethane graph

The present study examines the Langevin coupled boundary value problem with the fractional conformable derivative on the ethane graph. The main objective of this research is to establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions with the help of the fixed point theorem and to analyze the Ulam stability of the corresponding problem. Several examples are provided to demonstrate the obtained results.

Lévy-walk-like Langevin dynamics with random parameters.

Anomalous diffusion phenomena have been widely found in systems within an inhomogeneous complex environment. For Lévy walk in an inhomogeneous complex environment, we characterize the particle's trajectory through an underdamped Langevin system coupled with a subordinator. The influence of the inhomogeneous environment on the particle's motion is parameterized by the random system parameters, relaxation timescale τ, and velocity diffusivity σ. We find that the two random parameters make different effects on the original superdiffusion behavior of the Lévy walk. The random σ contributes to a trivial result after an ensemble average, which is independent of the specific distribution of σ. By contrast, we find that a specific distribution of τ, a modified Lévy distribution with a finite mean, slows down the decaying rate of the velocity correlation function with respect to the lag time. However, the random τ does not promote the diffusion behavior in a direct way, but plays a competition role to the superdiffusion of the original Lévy walk. In addition, the effect of the random τ is also related to the specific subordinator in the coupled Langevin model, which corresponds to the distribution of the flight time of the Lévy walk. The random system parameters are capable of leading to novel dynamics, which needs detailed analyses, rather than an intuitive judgment, especially in complex systems.

Coupled Nonlocal Boundary Value Problems for Fractional Integro-differential Langevin System via Variable Coefficient

In this paper, we aim to study a new coupled system of nonlinear fractional integro-differential Langevin equations with coupled multipoint boundary conditions. The existence and uniqueness of solution are investigated by using the Banach’s and Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorems. The Ulam-Hyers stability of the mentioned equation is provided by applying the classical technique of functional analysis. Two examples are presented to verify our analysis.

New results on controllability analysis of nonlinear fractional order integrodifferential Langevin system with multiple delays

Nowadays, the study of fractional differential equations (FDEs) is one of the most interesting research topics. In this article, we study a novel nonlinear fractional order Langevin system involving delays. The primary focus of this article is to analyze the relative controllability of a nonlinear integrodifferential fractional Langevin dynamical system with multiple delays in control for finite-dimensional spaces. Fundamentals of the fixed-point theory are used to achieve the desired results. Using Schauder’s fixed theorem, sufficient conditions for the controllability are established and the Mittag-Leffler matrix function defines the controllability Grammian matrix. Additionally, the derived results are validated through an application.

Loewner time conversion for q-generalized stochastic dynamics

Generalized statistical mechanics based on q-Gaussian has been demonstrated to be an effective theoretical framework for the analysis of non-equilibrium systems. Since q-generalized (non-extensive) statistical mechanics reduces the nonlinearity in the system into deformed entropy and probability distributions, we introduce an alternative method based on the time conversion method using the Loewner equation by investigating the statistical physical properties of one-dimensional stochastic dynamics described by the Langevin equation with multiplicative noise. We demonstrate that a randomized time transformation using Loewner time enables the conversion of the multiplicative Langevin dynamics into an equilibrium system obeying a conventional microcanonical ensemble. For the equilibrium Langevin system after the Loewner time conversion, the fluctuation-dissipation relation and path integral fluctuation theorem were discussed to derive the response function under a nonlinear perturbation and an extended Jarzynski equality. The present results suggest the efficacy of the introducing randomized time for analyzing non-equilibrium systems, and indicate a novel connection between q-generalized (non-extensive) and Boltzmann–Gibbs statistical mechanics.

Mpemba effect in a Langevin system: Population statistics, metastability, and other exact results.

The Mpemba effect is a fingerprint of the anomalous relaxation phenomenon wherein an initially hotter system equilibrates faster than an initially colder system when both are quenched to the same low temperature. Experiments on a single colloidal particle trapped in a carefully shaped double well potential have demonstrated this effect recently [A. Kumar and J. Bechhoefer, Nature 584, 64 (2020)]. In a similar vein, here, we consider a piece-wise linear double well potential that allows us to demonstrate the Mpemba effect using an exact analysis based on the spectral decomposition of the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation. We elucidate the role of the metastable states in the energy landscape as well as the initial population statistics of the particles in showcasing the Mpemba effect. Crucially, our findings indicate that neither the metastability nor the asymmetry in the potential is a necessary or a sufficient condition for the Mpemba effect to be observed.

An overdamped Langevin approach to parallel diffusion and energy dissipation in the presence of low-frequency circularly polarized electromagnetic waves

Brownian motion of charged particles in the presence of low-frequency, circularly polarized electromagnetic waves is discussed. By using the wave rest frame, the Langevin system including low-frequency waves can be treated as a periodic system with a constant external force. In an overdamped limit, parallel diffusion is formulated by the Brownian motion whose diffusion coefficient includes wave amplitude. The nonequilibrium work by low-frequency waves satisfies a nonequilibrium relation corresponding to the fluctuation–dissipation relation with the effective temperature defined by wave amplitude.

Discussion on applicability of the complex fractional moment method in Hamiltonian system

In this paper, the complex fractional moment (CFM) method is extended from the Langevin system to the Hamiltonian system for the first time, the applicability and advantages of the CFM method in Hamiltonian systems are investigated. According to the quasi-periodic property, the stochastic averaging technique is applied to the stochastic quasi-nonintegrable Hamiltonian system, and the one-dimensional Hamiltonian stochastic differential equation is obtained. By Mellin transformation, the associated Fokker Planck Kolmogorov (FPK) equation governing the Hamilton function is transformed into a set of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) of CFM. The semi-analytical solutions of the FPK equation are obtained by solving the ODEs. Furthermore, by a polynomial approximation method for the Hamiltonian case proposed in this paper, the numerical results show the influence of parameters and initial values on the evolution of the transient probability density functions (PDF) of the system. The accuracy of CFM method in the Hamiltonian case is verified by error analysis.

The adaptive bearing fault diagnosis based on optimal regulation of generalized SR behaviors in fluctuating-damping induced harmonic oscillator

Stochastic resonance (SR) has been widely used in bearing fault diagnosis due to the noise-assisted enhancement principle of weak fault signal. The purpose of this paper is to cast off the basic constraint of nonlinearity and extend the classical SR-based nonlinear methods to a new linear Langevin system of fluctuating-damping linear oscillator (FDLO), and to introduce the generalized scale transformation (GST) to make it more suitable for processing fault features. By analyzing the system stationary response, it is found that the proposed GST-FDLO system displays a rich variety of generalized SR (GSR) behaviors generated by the active synergy between internal regulation and external input signal. Furthermore, the GSR-based energy conversion mechanism is investigated to reveal the effects of different parameters on the enhancement of fault feature. Finally, the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is always valid and exhibits the superiority in diagnosis performance and operating efficiency, especially in several typical difficult cases, such as corrupted record, low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and non-periodic impulses.

Time-Dependent Charge Carrier Transport with Hall Effect in Organic Semiconductors for Langevin and Non-Langevin Systems.

The time-dependent charge carrier transport and recombination processes in low-mobility organic semiconductor diodes are obtained through numerical simulations using the finite element method (FEM). The application of a Lorentz force across the diode alters the charge transport process leading to the Hall effect. In this contribution, the Hall effect parameters, such as the Hall voltage and charge carrier concentration with varying magnetic fields, are computed for both Langevin and non-Langevin type recombination processes. The results indicate the charge carrier concentration within the diode for the Langevin system is about seven and fourteen times less while the maximum amount of extracted charge is nearly five and ten times less than that in the non-Langevin system of 0.01 and 0.001, respectively. The Hall voltage values obtained for the steady-state case are similar to the non-Langevin system of ββL=0.01. However, the values obtained for the Langevin and non-Langevin systems of ββL=1 and 0.001 exhibit anomalies. The implications of these findings advance the understanding of the charge transport and Hall effect measurements in organic semiconductors that underpins the device's performance.

Stability of a Nonlinear Langevin System of ML-Type Fractional Derivative Affected by Time-Varying Delays and Differential Feedback Control

The Langevin system is an important mathematical model to describe Brownian motion. The research shows that fractional differential equations have more advantages in viscoelasticity. The exploration of fractional Langevin system dynamics is novel and valuable. Compared with the fractional system of Caputo or Riemann–Liouville (RL) derivatives, the system with Mittag–Leffler (ML)-type fractional derivatives can eliminate singularity such that the solution of the system has better analytical properties. Therefore, we concentrate on a nonlinear Langevin system of ML-type fractional derivatives affected by time-varying delays and differential feedback control in the manuscript. We first utilize two fixed-point theorems proposed by Krasnoselskii and Schauder to investigate the existence of a solution. Next, we employ the contraction mapping principle and nonlinear analysis to establish the stability of types such as Ulam–Hyers (UH) and Ulam–Hyers–Rassias (UHR) as well as generalized UH and UHR. Lastly, the theoretical analysis and numerical simulation of some interesting examples are carried out by using our main results and the DDESD toolbox of MATLAB.

Distinct Excitatory and Inhibitory Bump Wandering in a Stochastic Neural Field.

Localized persistent cortical neural activity is a validated neural substrate of parametric working memory. Such activity "bumps" represent the continuous location of a cue over several seconds. Pyramidal (excitatory ()) and interneuronal (inhibitory ()) subpopulations exhibit tuned bumps of activity, linking neural dynamics to behavioral inaccuracies observed in memory recall. However, many bump attractor models collapse these subpopulations into a single joint /(lateral inhibitory) population and do not consider the role of interpopulation neural architecture and noise correlations. Both factors have a high potential to impinge upon the stochastic dynamics of these bumps, ultimately shaping behavioral response variance. In our study, we consider a neural field model with separate / populations and leverage asymptotic analysis to derive a nonlinear Langevin system describing / bump interactions. While the bump attracts the bump, the bump stabilizes but can also repel the bump, which can result in prolonged relaxation dynamics when both bumps are perturbed. Furthermore, the structure of noise correlations within and between subpopulations strongly shapes the variance in bump position. Surprisingly, higher interpopulation correlations reduce variance.

Unified theory of thermodynamics and stochastic thermodynamics for nonlinear Langevin systems driven by non-conservative forces

We construct a unified theory of thermodynamics and stochastic thermodynamics for classical nonequilibrium systems driven by non-conservative forces, using the recently developed covariant Ito-Langevin theory. The thermodynamic forces are split into a conservative part and a non-conservative part. Thermodynamic functions are defined using the reference conservative system. Work and heat are partitioned into excess parts and house-keeping parts, which are due to, respectively, conservative forces and non-conservative forces. Excess entropy production (EP) and house-keeping EP are analogously defined. The splitting of thermodynamic forces is subjected to an arbitrariness resembling a gauge symmetry, with each gauge defining a reference conservative Langevin system. In the special Gibbs gauge, the nonequilibrium steady state (NESS) is characterized by Gibbs canonical distribution, the excess heat agrees with that defined by Hatano and Sasa, and the excess EP agrees with that of Glansdorff and Prigogine, i.e., it is the time rate of the second-order variation of system entropy near the NESS. Adopting the Gibbs gauge, and focusing on the excess parts of thermodynamic quantities, a complete analogy between thermodynamics of non-conservative systems and that of conservative systems is established. One important consequence of this analogy is that both the free energy and excess EP are minimized at NESS. Our theory therefore constitutes a statistical foundation both for the steady-state thermodynamics theory due to Sasa and Tasaki and for the stability theory of NESS due to Glansdorff and Prigogine. These results are valid even if the system is far from equilibrium. By studying detailed fluctuation theorem, we find striking differences between systems with symmetric kinetic matrices and those with asymmetric kinetic matrices. For systems with asymmetric kinetic matrices, the total EP is the sum of house-keeping EP, excess EP, and pumped entropy. Entropy pumping is an exchange of entropy between the system and environment without necessarily involving dissipation. In the presence of entropy pumping, the system may behave as either a demon or an antidemon. Fluctuation theorems and work relations are derived both for total work and for excess work. For systems with symmetric kinetic matrices, there is no entropy pumping, yet in the Gibbs gauge, the excess work and house-keeping work each satisfies a separate fluctuation theorem. We illustrate our theory using many concrete examples.

Time-correlation functions for odd Langevin systems.

We investigate the statistical properties of fluctuations in active systems that are governed by nonsymmetric responses. Both an underdamped Langevin system with an odd resistance tensor and an overdamped Langevin system with an odd elastic tensor are studied. For a system in thermal equilibrium, the time-correlation functions should satisfy time-reversal symmetry and the antisymmetric parts of the correlation functions should vanish. For the odd Langevin systems, however, we find that the antisymmetric parts of the time-correlation functions can exist and that they are proportional to either the odd resistance coefficient or the odd elastic constant. This means that the time-reversal invariance of the correlation functions is broken due to the presence of odd responses in active systems. Using the short-time asymptotic expressions of the time-correlation functions, one can estimate an odd elastic constant of an active material such as an enzyme or a motor protein.

Diffusive behavior of a coupled generalized Langevin system under bounded noise

In this paper, the phenomenon of diffusion induced by bounded noise is studied in a coupled generalized Langevin system. Analytical expressions for the moment of the response are derived by means of Laplace transform. The obtained results indicate the existence of the non-Markovian diffusion. Specifically, the coupling strength between harmonic oscillators and the intensity added to Wiener process play opposite roles in the transition from the stationary to the diffusive regime. Also, the effects of the amplitude of bounded noise and the cross-correlation between noises are analyzed. Moreover, the phenomenon of stochastic resonance (SR) is found by the index of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Interestingly, the increase of coupling damping coefficient enhances diffusive behavior but suppresses SR. Finally, the numerical results well verify the validity of the theoretical analyses.
