Exploring structural phase transitions of ion crystals
Phase transitions have been a research focus in many-body physics over past decades. Cold ions, under strong Coulomb repulsion, provide a repealing paradigm of exploring phase transitions in stable confinement by electromagnetic field. We demonstrate various conformations of up to sixteen laser-cooled (40)Ca(+) ion crystals in a home-built surface-electrode trap, where besides the usually menti...
متن کاملGCMC Glauber dynamics study for structural transitions in YBCOx (0<x<1), HTc system
We have chosen an Ising ASYNNNI (ASYmmetric Next Nearest Neighbor Interaction) model under a grand canonical regime to investigate structural phase transition from a high symmetric tetragonal (Tet) to a low symmetric orthorhombic in YBa2Cu3O6+x , 0<x<1, HTc system. Ordering process for absorbed oxygens from an external gas bath into the basal plane of the layered system is studied by Monte C...
متن کاملPrecise experimental investigation of eigenmodes in a planar ion crystal.
The accurate characterization of eigenmodes and eigenfrequencies of two-dimensional ion crystals provides the foundation for the use of such structures for quantum simulation purposes. We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of two-dimensional ion crystals. We demonstrate that standard pseudopotential theory accurately predicts the positions of the ions and the location of stru...
متن کاملLow temperature experimental techniques for detecting structural and magnetic transitions in (CH3)2NH2CuCl3
The discovery of several high critical temperature superconductors in the cuprate family has produced an elevated interest in low-dimensional systems (two dimensional planes or one dimensional chains) that retain the basic characteristics of these cuprate crystals in a simplified form. As a result of this link, an understanding of the structure and behavior of low-dimensional systems has become...
متن کاملVibrational Spectroscopy and Structural Phase Transitions in Molecular Crystals
Vibrational spectroscopy can give useful informa tian, both structural and dynamical, about phase transitions in molecular crystals. In particular, the data concerning the mechanism of the transformation at molecular level can be obtained. This is illustrated by examples of pure van der Waals crystals such as 3,5-dichloropyridine and 4-methylpyridine, hydrogen bonded malonic acid, inorganic fer...
