A Principle of Regulating the Collective Effect of Assembling Patterns in a Moderate Number of Equivalent Finite Regular Arrays of Active Nanoelements due to Local Transferring Information by Pairs Hopping under Synchronous Excitation

Abstract

One elucidates specific findings of our recent computational study, arxiv.org/cond-mat/0307215 with the purpose to reveal a prospect of relevant feasibility research on regulating the process of assembling nano-sized elements into functional materials and systems. This is thought to contribute to solving the task of obtaining systems that being composed from nanoelements would have even macroscopic sizes while preserving required stability as well as designing such adaptive systems. In this respect, one explains inferences drawn from our findings that have shown that accomplishing the collective effect (CE) of assembling the active nano-elements into functional quasi two dimensional patterns over finite surfaces within a number, M of subsystems, being of the same type but different in details, may be regulated by changing the ambient conditions. This regulation of the CE requires that the immobile nano-elements, arranged into regular array over the surface, are to be activated due to local information transfer realized by hopping nano-sized elements, each represented by a pair of its ends only: sending end and the receiving one; two neighbor sites of the array identify position of that pair. Then, the CE may be regulated by varying the number M, a common forcing factor and efficiency of projecting the regularity of the array onto the CE.
