Continuous Quantum Phase Transitions
A quantum system can undergo a continuous phase transition at the absolute zero of temperature as some parameter entering its Hamiltonian is varied. These transitions are particularly interesting for, in contrast to their classical finite temperature counterparts, their dynamic and static critical behaviors are intimately intertwined. We show that considerable insight is gained by considering t...

15 صفحه اولPhase transitions in argon films.
We present heat-capacity data detailing the evolution of the first six layers of argon adsorbed on graphite foam. The second and third layers have liquid-solid-gas triple points similar to the first layer. These layers exhibit a phase diagram consisting of two-dimensional solid, liquid, and gas phases on top of a solid film. Above the temperatures of the individual-layer triple points, the melt...

The two-point correlation function in thin films is studied near the critical point of the corresponding bulk system. Based on fieldtheoretic renormaliza-tion group theory the dependences of this correlation function on the lateral momentum, the two distances normal to the free surfaces, temperature, and film thickness are determined. The corresponding scattering cross section of X-rays and neu...
متن کاملScanning probe microscopy of organic thin films: Phase transitions of liquid crystal monolayers
Since its conception, the scanning probe microscopy (SPM) has attracted increasing attention as a novel method that provides an outstanding capability for direct visualization of topological features and characterization of the local properties of organic thin films. While imaging mechanisms for organic molecules are still being debated, careful and credible studies have been performed enabling...
