Continuous freezing in three dimensions.

چکیده
We analyze the freezing transition in a system of hard particles with a very long-ranged repulsion. The long-range repulsion makes first-order freezing transitions continuous, but leaves the initial stages of the crystallization unchanged: the crystal phase must still nucleate. The coexistence between bulk phases is replaced by microphase separation.

Freezing of Moduli with Fluxes in Three Dimensions
We study warped compactifications to three dimensions, realized as an orientifold of type IIA string theory on T . By turning on 3and 4-form fluxes on the torus in a supersymmetric way, we generate a potential for the moduli fields. We present various flux configurations with N = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 supersymmetries and count the number of moduli in each case. In particular, we show that there are ...
متن کاملDensity functional theory of freezing for soft interactions in two dimensions
PACS. 64.10.+h – General theory of equations of state and phase equilibria. Abstract. – A density functional theory of two-dimensional freezing is presented for a soft interaction potential that scales as inverse cube of particle distance. This repulsive potential between parallel, induced dipoles is realized for paramagnetic colloids on an interface, which are additionally exposed to an extern...
متن کاملWhat is 'unfreezable water', how unfreezable is it, and how much is there?
Water that remains unfrozen at temperatures below the equilibrium bulk freezing temperature, in the presence of ice, is sometimes called unfreezable or bound. This paper analyses the phenomenon in terms of quantitative measurements of the hydration interaction among membranes or macromolecules at freezing temperatures. These results are related to analogous measurements in which osmotic stress ...
متن کاملThermodynamic first order transition and inverse freezing in a 3D spin glass.
We present a numerical study of the random Blume-Capel model in three dimensions. The phase diagram is characterized by spin-glass-paramagnet phase transitions of both first and second order in the thermodynamic sense. Numerical simulations are performed using the exchange Monte Carlo algorithm, providing clear evidence for inverse freezing. The main features at criticality and in the phase coe...
متن کاملFundamental differences between glassy dynamics in two and three dimensions
The two-dimensional freezing transition is very different from its three-dimensional counterpart. In contrast, the glass transition is usually assumed to have similar characteristics in two and three dimensions. Using computer simulations, here we show that glassy dynamics in supercooled two- and three-dimensional fluids are fundamentally different. Specifically, transient localization of parti...
