Thermal phase transition for some spin-boson models
(2013-09-01)
In this work we study two different spin-boson models. Such models are generalizations of the Dicke model, it means they describe systems of N identical two-level atoms coupled to a single-mode quantized bosonic field, ...
Insulator-to-metal transition driven by clustering of solitons in polyacetylene
(1997-03-15)
It's believed that the simple Su-Schrieffer-Heeger Hamiltonian can not predict the insulator to metal transition of transpolyacetylene (t-PA). The soliton lattice configuration at a doping level y=6% still has a semiconductor ...
Influence of phase transition on shock-induced spallation in nanocrystalline iron
(American Institute of Physics, 2015-11)
Intense shock waves may lead to spallation of the sample. Recent experiments show differences of shock spallation in iron depending on whether the samples underwent the pressure-induced bcc-hcp phase transformation or not. ...
Sensitivity to perturbations and quantum phase transition
(Amer Physical Soc, 2013-05-17)
The local density of states or its Fourier transform, usually called fidelity amplitude, are important measures of quantum irreversibility due to imperfect evolution. In this Rapid Communication we study both quantities ...
Dynamical phase transitions and Loschmidt echo in the infinite-range XY model
(Royal Soc, 2016)
We compare two different notions of dynamical phase transitions in closed quantum systems. The first is identified through the time-averaged value of the equilibrium-order parameter, whereas the second corresponds to ...
Structural, electronic, and magnetic entropy contributions of the orbital order-disorder transition in LaMnO(3)
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2011)
Measurements of X-ray diffraction, electrical resistivity, and magnetization are reported across the Jahn-Teller phase transition in LaMnO(3). Using a thermodynamic equation, we obtained the pressure derivative of the ...
Nonequilibrium quantum phase transitions in the XY model: comparison of unitary time evolution and reduced density operator approaches
(IOP Publishing, 2014)
We study nonequilibrium quantum phase transitions in the XY spin 1/2 chain
using the C* algebra. We show that the well-known quantum phase transition at
a magnetic field of h = 1 also persists in the nonequilibrium setting ...
Metric-Space Approach for Distinguishing Quantum Phase Transitions in Spin-Imbalanced Systems
(Springer, 2018-10-01)
Metric spaces are characterized by distances between pairs of elements. Systems that are physically similar are expected to present smaller distances (between their densities, wave functions, and potentials) than systems ...
