Pressure-driven Quantum Phase Transition
The zero-temperature quantum phase transition (QPT) is driven by quantum fluctuations, in contrast to the more familiar finite temperature transitions driven by thermal fluctuations. This paper demonstrates our work on two kinds of QPTs in two different materials, respectively. The first work focuses on the pressure-driven antiferromagnetic QPT in pure chromium which is a model system for study...
متن کاملFluctuation-driven electroweak phase transition.
We examine the dynamics of the electroweak phase transition in the early Universe. For Higgs masses in the range 46 < MH < 150 GeV and top quark masses less than 200 GeV, regions of symmetric and asymmetric vacuum coexist to below the critical temperature, with thermal equilibrium between the two phases maintained by fluctuations oi both phases. We propose that the transition to the asymmetric ...
متن کاملPhase-transition driven memristive system
Memristors are passive circuit elements which behave as resistors with memory. The recent experimental realization of a memristor has triggered interest in this concept and its possible applications. Here, we demonstrate memristive response in a thin film of Vanadium Dioxide. This behavior is driven by the insulator-to-metal phase transition typical of this oxide. We discuss several potential a...
متن کاملSpontaneous symmetry breaking of population in a nonadiabatically driven atomic trap: an Ising-class phase transition.
We have observed spontaneous symmetry breaking of the population of Brownian particles between two moving potentials in the spatiotemporally symmetric system. Cold atoms preferentially occupy one of the dynamic double-well potentials, produced in the parametrically driven dissipative magneto-optical trap far from equilibrium, above a critical number of atoms. We find that the population asymmet...
متن کاملElectrically driven phase transition in magnetite nanostructures.
Magnetite (Fe3O4), an archetypal transition-metal oxide, has been used for thousands of years, from lodestones in primitive compasses to a candidate material for magnetoelectronic devices. In 1939, Verwey found that bulk magnetite undergoes a transition at TV approximately 120 K from a high-temperature 'bad metal' conducting phase to a low-temperature insulating phase. He suggested that high-te...
