Critical-Point Structure in Finite Nuclei
Phase transitions associated with a change of shape are known to occur in dynamical systems such as nuclei. Recently, it has been recognized that such quantum shape-phase transitions are amenable to analytic descriptions at the critical points [1, 2]. For nuclei these analytic benchmarks of criticality were obtained in the geometric framework of a Bohr Hamiltonian for macroscopic quadrupole sha...
متن کاملFinite-temperature critical point of a glass transition.
We generalize the simplest kinetically constrained model of a glass-forming liquid by softening kinetic constraints, allowing them to be violated with a small rate. We demonstrate that this model supports a first-order dynamical (space-time) phase transition between active (fluid) and inactive (glass) phases. The first-order phase boundary in this softened model ends in a finite-temperature dyn...
متن کاملA liquid-solid critical point in a simple monatomic system
It is commonly believed that the transition line separating a liquid and a solid cannot be interrupted by a critical point. This opinion is based on the traditional symmetry argument that an isotropic liquid cannot be continuously transformed into a crystal with a discrete rotational and translational symmetry. We present here a molecular-dynamics simulation of a simple monatomic system that de...
متن کاملCritical-point finite-size scaling in the microcanonical ensemble.
We develop a scaling theory for the finite-size critical behavior of the microcanonical entropy (density of states) of a system with a critically divergent heat capacity. The link between the microcanonical entropy and the canonical energy distribution is exploited to establish the former, and corroborate its predicted scaling form, in the case of the 3d Ising universality class. We show that t...
متن کاملCritical point in finite density lattice QCD by canonical approach
We propose a method to find the QCD critical point at finite density calculating the canonical partition function ZC(T, N) by Monte-Carlo simulations of lattice QCD, and analyze data obtained by a simulation with two-flavor p4-improved staggered quarks with pion mass mπ ≈ 770MeV. It is found that the shape of an effective potential changes gradually as the temperature decreases and a first orde...
