Diffusion in the Lorentz gas

CP Dettmann - Communications in Theoretical Physics, 2014‏ - iopscience.iop.org
The Lorentz gas, a point particle making mirror-like reflections from an extended collection of
scatterers, has been a useful model of deterministic diffusion and related statistical …

The Chaplygin sleigh with parametric excitation: chaotic dynamics and nonholonomic acceleration

IA Bizyaev, AV Borisov, IS Mamaev - Regular and Chaotic Dynamics, 2017‏ - Springer
This paper is concerned with the Chaplygin sleigh with time-varying mass distribution
(parametric excitation). The focus is on the case where excitation is induced by a material …

Scaling investigation of Fermi acceleration on a dissipative bouncer model

ALP Livorati, DG Ladeira, ED Leonel - … E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter …, 2008‏ - APS
The phenomenon of Fermi acceleration is addressed for the problem of a classical and
dissipative bouncer model, using a scaling description. The dynamics of the model, in both …

Robust exponential acceleration in time-dependent billiards

V Gelfreich, V Rom-Kedar, K Shah, D Turaev - Physical review letters, 2011‏ - APS
A class of nonrelativistic particle accelerators in which the majority of particles gain energy at
an exponential rate is constructed. The class includes ergodic billiards with a piston that …

Suppressing Fermi acceleration in a driven elliptical billiard

ED Leonel, LA Bunimovich - Physical review letters, 2010‏ - APS
We study dynamical properties of an ensemble of noninteracting particles in a time-
dependent elliptical-like billiard. It was recently shown [Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 014103 (2008) …

Fermi acceleration in non-autonomous billiards

V Gelfreich, D Turaev - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and …, 2008‏ - iopscience.iop.org
Fermi acceleration can be modelled by a classical particle moving inside a time-dependent
domain and elastically reflecting from its boundary. In this paper, we describe how the …
