Characterizing kinetics near a first-order catalytic-poisoning transition.
We conside the kinetics near a first-order poisoning transition for simple surface reaction models which exlude nonreactive desorption. Elucidation of the development and growth of the reactive steady state from a near-poisoned state is achieved via an ‘‘oxidation epidemic’’ analysis of the evolution of an empy patch embedded in the poisoned phase. Associated critical exponents vary strongly wi...
متن کاملSecond-Order Catalytic Quasispecies Yields First-Order Phase Transition
The quasispecies model describes processes related to the origin of life and viral evolutionary dynamics. We discuss how the error catastrophe that reflects the transition from localized to delocalized quasispecies population is affected by catalytic replication of different reaction orders. Specifically, we find that 2 order mechanisms lead to 1 order discontinuous phase transitions in the via...
متن کاملFirst-order superconducting transition near a ferromagnetic quantum critical point.
We address the issue of how triplet superconductivity emerges in an electronic system near a ferromagnetic quantum critical point (FQCP). Previous studies found that the superconducting transition is of second order, and T(c) is strongly reduced near the FQCP due to pair-breaking effects from thermal spin fluctuations. In contrast, we demonstrate that near the FQCP, the system avoids pair-break...
متن کاملFirst-order scaling near a second-order phase transition: Tricritical polymer collapse
– The coil-globule transition of an isolated polymer has been well established to be a second-order phase transition described by a standard tricritical O(0) field theory. We provide compelling evidence from Monte Carlo simulations in four dimensions, where mean-field theory should apply, that the approach to this (tri)critical point is dominated by the build-up of first-order–like singularitie...
متن کاملKinetics of a First-Order Phase Transition: Computer Simulations and Theory
We make a quantitative comparison between the predictions of the BeckerDgring equations and computer simulations on a model of a quenched binary A-B alloy. The atoms are confined to the vertices of a simple cubic lattice, interact through attractive nearest neighbor interactions, and move by interchanges of nearest neighbor pairs (Kawasaki dynamics). We study in particular the time evolution of...
