Researchers from the Peter the Great St.Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) have discovered and theoretically explained a new physical effect: amplitude of mechanical vibrations can grow without external influence. The scientific group offered their explanation on how to eliminate the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou paradox.<\/p>\n

\n <\/section>\n

The scientists of SPbPU explained it using a simple example: to rock a swing, you have to keep pushing it. It is general<\/a>ly believed that it is impossible to achieve oscillatory resonance without constant external influence.<\/p>\n

However, the scientific group of the Higher School of Theoretical Mechanics, Institute of App<\/a>lied Mathematics and Mechanics SPbPU discovered a new physical phenomenon of ‘ballistic resonance,” where mechanical oscillations can be excited only due to internal thermal resources of the system.
\nThe experimental work of researchers from all around the world demonstrated, that heat spreads at abnormally high speeds at nano and micro levels in ultrapure crystalline materials. This phenomenon is called ballistic heat conductivity.
\nThe scientific group supervised by the corresponding member of Russian Academy of Science<\/a>s Anton Krivtsov, derived the equations describing this phenomenon and made significant progress in the overall understanding of thermal processes at the micro-level. In the study published in Physical Review E<\/i> researchers considered the system behavior at the initial periodic distribution of temperature in the crystal material.
\nThe discovered phenomenon describes that the process of heat equilibration leads to mechanical vibrations with an amplitude that grows with time. The effect is called ballistic resonance.
\n“Over the past few years, our scientific group has been looking into the mechanisms of heat propagation at the micro and nano levels. We found out that at these levels, heat doesn’t spread in the way we expected it to: for example, heat can flow from cold to hot. This behavior of nanosystems leads to new physical effects, such as ballistic resonance,” said Associate Professor of the Higher School of Theoretical Mechanics SPbPU Vitaly Kuzkin.
\nAccording to him, in the future the researchers plan to analyze how this can be used in such promising materials as, for example, graphene.
\nThese discoveries also provide an opportunity to resolve the paradox of Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou. In 1953, a scientific group led by Enrico Fermi carried out a computer experiment that later became famous. Scientists considered the simplest model of oscillations of a chain of particles connected by springs. They assumed that the mechanical movement would gradually fade away, turning into chaotic thermal oscillations. Still, the result was unexpected: the oscillations in the chain first almost decayed, but then revived and reached nearly the initial level. The system came to its initial state, and the cycle repeated itself. The causes of mechanical oscillations from thermal vibrations in the considered system have been the subject of scientific research and disputes for decades.<\/p>\n

The amplitude of mechanical vibrations caused by ballistic resonance doesn’t increase infinitely, but reaches its maximum; after that it starts gradually decreasing to zero. Eventually, mechanical oscillations fade completely, and the temperature equilibrates in the whole crystal. This process is called thermalization. For physicists, this experiment is vital because a chain of particles connected by springs is a good model of crystal material.
\nResearchers of the Higher School of Theoretical Mechanics showed that the transition of mechanical energy into heat is irreversible if we consider the process at the finite temperature.
\n“Usually, it is not taken into account that in real materials, there is a thermal motion, along with a mechanical one, and the energy of thermal motion is several orders of magnitude higher. We recreated these conditions in a computer experiment and showed that it is the thermal motion that damps the mechanical wave and prevents the revival of oscillations,” explained Anton Krivtsov, director of the Higher School of Theoretical Mechanics SPbPU, corresponding member of Russian Academy of Sciences.
\nAccording to experts, the theoretical approach proposed by the SPbPU scientis demonstrates a new approach to how we understand heat and temperature. It may be fundamental in the development of nanoelectronic devices in the future.<\/p>\n
