Phase Transitions Detached from Stationary Points of the Energy Landscape

the role of russia in transmission of energy from central asia and caucuses to european union

پس ازفروپاشی شوروی،رشد منابع نفت و گاز، آسیای میانه و قفقاز را در یک بازی ژئوپلتیکی انرژی قرار داده است. با در نظر گرفتن این منابع هیدروکربنی، این منطقه به یک میدانجنگ و رقابت تجاری برای بازی های ژئوپلتیکی قدرت های بزرگ جهانی تبدیل شده است. روسیه منطقه را به عنوان حیات خلوت خود تلقی نموده و علاقمند به حفظ حضورش می باشد تا همانند گذشته گاز طبیعی را به وسیله خط لوله مرکزی دریافت و به عنوان یک واس...

transitions - energy landscape distinctions

Energy landscape of a lennard-jones liquid: statistics of stationary points.

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to generate an ensemble of saddles of the potential energy of a Lennard-Jones liquid. Classifying all extrema by their potential energy u and number of unstable directions k, a well-defined relation k(u) is revealed. The degree of instability of typical stationary points vanishes at a threshold potential energy u(th), which lies above the energy of the lo...

Dynamical phase transitions in glasses induced by the ruggedness of the free energy landscape

We propose damage spreading (DS) as a tool to investigate the topological features related to the ruggedness of the free energy landscape. We argue that DS measures the positiveness of the largest Lyapunov exponent associated to the basins of attraction visited by the system during its dynamical evolution. We discuss recent results obtained in the framework of mode-coupling theory and comment h...

Universality away from critical points in two-dimensional phase transitions.

The p-state clock model in two dimensions is a system of discrete rotors with a quasiliquid phase in a region T14. We show that, for p>4 and above a temperature T(eu), all macroscopic thermal averages become identical to those of the continuous rotor (p=infinity). This collapse of thermodynamic observables creates a regime of extended universality in the phase diagram and an emergen...
