Novel size effect in mesoscopic chemical oscillation systems Zhonghuai Hou (侯中怀) Sep. 2008, Hefei Department of Chemical Physics Hefei National Lab for Physical Sciences at Microscale University of Science Technology of China Our Research Interests Nonlinear Dynamics in Mesoscopic Chemical Systems Dynamics of Complex Networks Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of Small Systems (Fluctuation Theorem) Multiscale Modeling of Complex Systems Outline Introduction ? the question Optimal Size Effect Stochastic Normal Form Theory Conclusion Nonlinear Chemical Dynamics far-from equilibrium, self-organized, complex, spatio-temporal structures Mesoscopic Reaction System We already know ... Noise and disorder play constructive roles in nonlinear systems Modeling of Chemical Oscillations Macroscopic level: Deterministic, Cont. Modeling of Chemical Oscillations New: Noise Induced Oscillation A model system: The Brusselator Optimal System Size Seems to be common … Internal Noise Stochastic Resonance in a Circadian Clock System J.Chem.Phys. 119, 11508(2003) Analytical study Analytical study Analytical study Analytical study(…) Analytical study(…) Analytical study(…) Analytical study(…) Summary In mesoscopic chemical systems, molecular fluctuations can induce oscillation even outside the deterministic oscillatory region Optimal system size exists, where the noise-induced oscillation shows the best performance, characterized by a maximal SNR, a trade off between strength and regularity Based on stochastic normal form, analytical studies show rather good agreements with the simulation results, uncovering the mechanism of NIO and OSS System Bi-Resonance and Double System Size Resonance are observed Acknowledgements Supported by: National science foundation (NSF) Such phenomenon seems to be common in mesoscopic oscillation systems. For instance, we have found very similar behaviors in clock, cal..., CO.., gene.... These brings the question to us whether they sh
