Statistical physics and stromatolite growth: new perspectives on an ancient dilemma
M T Batchelor, R V Burne, B I Henry +1
This paper outlines our recent attempts to model the growth and form of microbialites from the perspective of the statistical physics of evolving surfaces. Microbialites arise from…
Thermal and magnetic properties of integrable spin-1 and spin-3/2 chains with applications to real compounds
M. T. Batchelor, X. -W. Guan, N. Oelkers +1
The ground state and thermodynamic properties of spin-1 and spin-3/2 chains are investigated via exactly solved su(3) and su(4) models with physically motivated chemical potential…
Thermal and magnetic properties of spin-1 magnetic chain compounds with large single-ion and in-plane anisotropies
M. T. Batchelor, Xi-Wen Guan, Norman Oelkers
The thermal and magnetic properties of spin-1 magnetic chain compounds with large single-ion and in-plane anisotropies are investigated via the integrable su(3) model in terms of t…
A case for biotic morphogenesis of coniform stromatolites
M. T. Batchelor, R. V. Burne, B. I. Henry +1
Mathematical models have recently been used to cast doubt on the biotic origin of stromatolites. Here by contrast we propose a biotic model for stromatolite morphogenesis which con…
Exact expressions for correlations in the ground state of the dense O(1) loop model
S. Mitra, B. Nienhuis, J. de Gier +1
Conjectures for analytical expressions for correlations in the dense O loop model on semi infinite square lattices are given. We have obtained these results for four types of…
