Surface Critical Phenomena at First-order Phase Transitions
Frequently, first-order phase transitions in solids are characterized by the coexistence of a disordered phase and several ordered phases. Near such a transition, the disordered phase may appear in the surface region of the crystal even though the bulk crystal remains in one of its ordered states. This leads to several critical effects which are characterized by critical exponents. Recent exper...
متن کاملQuantum first order phase transitions
The scaling theory of critical phenomena has been successfully extended for classical first order transitions even though the correlation length does not diverge in these transitions. In this paper we apply the scaling ideas to quantum first order transitions. The usefulness of this approach is illustrated treating the problems of a superconductor coupled to a gauge field and of a biquadratic H...
متن کاملCritical Phenomena at Interfaces Phase Transitions at Quantum Surfaces
Tlre qnantum systems helium and hydrogen provide a versatile testing ground for studying interfacial phenomena. As examples, both some properties of surface< near thermodynamic equilibrium, like layering and wetting, and uonequilibrium states of qucnch-condensed disordered films are discussed. A further topic is the development of macroscopic instabilities of interfaces under external perturbat...
متن کاملFirst Order System Least Squares with inhomogeneous boundary conditions
Thanks to (1.1), the bilinear form on X×X at the left hand side is bounded, symmetric, and elliptic, and the right-hand side defines a bounded functional on X . From the Lax-Milgram lemma, we conclude that (1.2), and so the least-squares problem, has a unique solution u∈X that depends continuously on f ∈Y ′. Whenever the equation Gu= f has a solution, i.e., f ∈IG (consistency), it is the unique...
متن کاملTest of finite-size scaling in first order phase transitions
2014 First order transitions are rounded in finite cells or in infinite strips of finite width (cylinders). In this work we have considered the rounding of the jump of the magnetization of an Ising system at a fixed temperature T below Tc when the external field h goes from a small positive, to a small negative value. This rounding is well-known in a finite cell (block geometry) but the situati...
