We study theoretically the concept of homogenization in optics using an ensemble of randomly distributed resonant stationary atoms with density $\rho$. The ensemble is dense enough for the usual condition for homogenization, viz.…
We describe a phase transition that gives rise to structurally non-trivial states in a two-dimensional ordered network of particles connected by harmonic bonds. Monte Carlo simulations reveal that the network supports, apart from the…
Thermalization in open systems coupled to macroscopic environments is usually analyzed from the perspective of relaxation of the reduced state of the system to the equilibrium state. Less emphasis is given to the change of the state of the…
