Solvent-induced symmetry breaking and second order phase transitions
The triiodide ion is an example of a system where symmetry-breaking may be induced by a solvent. The Landau free energy is expected to have a similar form to that for the mean field Ising model, but with solvent strength rather than temperature as the control parameter determining whether there is symmetry breaking. In order to examine the possibility of critical phenomena we have studied the p...
متن کاملPhase transitions in solids of diperiodic symmetry.
All isotropy subgroups (and thus all quasicontinuous symmetry changes) corresponding to k points of symmetry have been obtained for the 80 diperiodic space groups. The detailed information for such phase transitions is given here for the diperiodic space group I'———.Only two distinct images (sets of representation matrices) occur for this example yielding Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson (LGW) Hamiltonia...
متن کاملSecond Order Phase Transitions
summing the Boltzmann factor over all spin configurations {si}. The enumeration of all configurations cannot be done for d ≥ 3, and although possible in d = 2 is extremely hard there as well (a problem solved by Onsager). We will use an approximate solution technique known as mean field theory. Last term we solved the problem of noninteracting spins in a magnetic field described by the Hamilton...
متن کاملGrain boundary order-disorder transitions
The conditions for grain boundary (GB) structural transitions are determined from a diffuse interface model that incorporates structural disorder and crystallographic orientation. A graphical construction and numerical calculations illustrate the existence of a first-order GB order–disorder transition below the bulk melting point. When thermodynamic conditions permit their existence, disordered...
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...
