Panic induced symmetry breaking in escaping ants
E. Altshuler, O. Ramos, Y. Nunez +1
We report the phenomenon of symmetry breaking in ants escaping under panic. Ants confined into a cell with two symmetrically located exits use both exits in approximately equal pro…
On the importance of grain boundaries in high-Tc films: simulation results
R. Mulet, E. Altshuler
The importance of the distribution and ``weakness'' of grain boundary junctions in the magnetic field dependence of the transport critical current in HTc films is assessed through…
A possible scenario for thermally activated avalanches in type II superconductors
R. Mulet, R. Cruz, E. Altshuler
Using a simple cellular automaton with stochastic rules we show the possible emergence of thermally activated avalanches (power law distributed) in type-II superconductors. Scaling…
Universality of vortex avalanches in a type II superconductor with periodic pinning
R. Cruz, R. Mulet, E. Altshuler
In this work the robustness of a simple cellular automaton developed by Bassler and Paczuski to describe the critical state in type-II superconductors is studied. Two different con…
