Continuous and discontinuous quantum phase transitions in a model two-dimensional magnet.
The Shasty-Sutherland model, which consists of a set of spin 1/2 dimers on a 2D square lattice, is simple and soluble but captures a central theme of condensed matter physics by sitting precariously on the quantum edge between isolated, gapped excitations and collective, ordered ground states. We compress the model Shastry-Sutherland material, SrCu(2)(BO(3))(2), in a diamond anvil cell at cryog...
متن کاملPhase behavior of the confined Lebwohl-Lasher model.
The phase behavior of confined nematogens is studied using the Lebwohl-Lasher model. For three-dimensional systems the model is known to exhibit a discontinuous nematic-isotropic phase transition, whereas the corresponding two-dimensional systems apparently show a continuous Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless-like transition. In this paper, we study the phase transitions of the Lebwohl-Lasher mode...
متن کاملDynamical phase transitions in periodically driven model neurons.
Transitions between dynamical states in integrate-and-fire neuron models with periodic stimuli result from tangent or discontinuous bifurcations of a return map. We study their characteristic scaling laws and show that discontinuous bifurcations exhibit a kind of phase transition intermediate between continuous and first order. In the model-independent spirit of our analysis we show that a six-...
متن کاملImpurity-Induced Phase Transitions in Low-Dimensional Magnets
1 Department of Physics, Graduate School of Science, Tohoku University, Sendai 980-8578, Japan 2 Institute for Solid State Physics, University of Tokyo, Chiba 277-8581, Japan We study the impurity-induced phase transitions in a quasi-one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet doped with magnetic spin-1/2 impurities and non-magnetic ones. The impurity-induced transition temperature determined by...
متن کاملQuantum Phase Diagram of One-Dimensional Spin and Hubbard Models with Transitions to Bond Order Wave Phases
Similar quantum phase diagrams and transitions are found for three classes of one-dimensional models with equally spaced sites, singlet ground states (GS), inversion symmetry at sites and a bond order wave (BOW) phase in some sectors. The models are frustrated spin−1/2 chains with variable range exchange, half-filled Hubbard models with spin-independent interactions and modified Hubbard models ...
