Fe b 19 99 Phase diagram of magnetic polymers

We consider polymers made of magnetic monomers (Ising or Heisenberg-like) in a good solvent. These polymers are modeled as self-avoiding walks on a cubic lattice, and the ferromagnetic interaction between the spins carried by the monomers is short-ranged in space. At low temperature, these polymers undergo a magnetic induced first order collapse transition, that we study at the mean field level...

METASTABLE PHASE RELATIONS IN THE SYSTEM CaO-Al2O3-MgO-TiO2: APPLICATION TO Ca- AND Al-RICH INCLUSIONS

2 4 Ju n 19 99 Phase Diagram of the Lattice Restricted Primitive Model

We present a comprehensive study of the lattice restricted primitive model, i.e., a lattice gas consisting of an equal number of positively and negatively charged particles interacting via on-site exclusion and a 1/r potential. On the cubic lattice, Monte Carlo simulations show a line of Néel points separating a disordered, high-temperature phase from a phase with global antiferromagnetic order...

Towards the QCD phase diagram

We summarize our recent results on the phase diagram of QCD with N f = 2+1 quark flavors, as a function of temperature T and quark chemical potential μ . Using staggered fermions, lattices with temporal extent Nt = 4, and the exact RHMC algorithm, we first determine the critical line in the quark mass plane (mu,d ,ms) where the finite temperature transition at μ = 0 is second order. We confirm ...

The Phase Diagram of QCD

I use simple thermodynamic reasoning to argue that at temperatures of order a trillion kelvin, QCD, the theory which describes strongly interacting particles such as protons and neutrons under normal conditions, undergoes a phase transition to a plasma of more elementary constituents called quarks and gluons. I review what is known about the plasma phase both from theoretical calculations and f...
