From low-dimensional synchronous chaos to high-dimensional desynchronous spatiotemporal chaos in coupled systems

The dynamic behavior of coupled chaotic oscillators is investigated. For small coupling, chaotic state undergoes a transition from a spatially disordered phase to an ordered phase with an orientation symmetry breaking. For large coupling, a transition from full synchronization to partial synchronization with translation symmetry breaking is observed. Two bifurcation branches, one in-phase branch starting from synchronous chaos and the other antiphase branch bifurcated from spatially random chaos, are identified by varying coupling strength epsilon. Hysteresis, bistability, and first-order transitions between these two branches are observed.

Dynamic scaling in a ballistic deposition model for a binary system

A ballistic deposition model for the kinetics of surface growth for two species is introduced as a description of the evolution of a surface under vapor deposition. We used a tunable parameter P to control the deposition of the particles such that one type is deposited with probability P while the other is deposited with 1-P. Simulations in 2+1 dimensions using local surface diffusion lead to the formation of a rough surface whose dynamical evolution is not that of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class. Also, when surface diffusion becomes dominant, the model moves away from the Edwards-Wilkinson universality.
