Second Order Phase Transition

The phase transitions described by coupled spin -1/2 Ising models are investigated with the help of the mean field and the renormalization group theories. Results for the type of possible phase transitions and their fluctuation properties are presented. A fluctuation-induced second-order phase transition is predicted.

A model for the description of two-subsystem Heisenberg ferrimagnet with frustrated intersubsystem exchange and competition between exchange interactions in a subsystem is proposed. The conditions of the existence of noncollinear Yafet-Kittel state and partially ordered magnetic structure are investigated. The phase diagram of competition parameter vs temperature is obtained in the mean field approximation. The peculiarities of the succesive magnetic phase transitions are considered.

In this study we obtain the P–T phase diagram for the ice VI–VII–VIII phase transitions by means of the mean field model developed here. We have fitted the experimentally measured P–T data to our phase line equations. Our calculated phase diagram describes adequately the observed behavior of the ice VI–VII–VIII phase transitions.

Starting from some recent rigorous results about correlation functions of statistical model on tree structures, we analyze the nature of phase transitions occurring on Bethe lattices, showing the lack of long range order and the purely geometrical origin of the thermodynamic singularities. This approach gives a very simple formula for the critical temperature for any model with compact symmetry group and immediately leads to the value 1 for the critical exponent γ. The “geometrical” critical behavior only partially coincides with the mean field solution and violates the usual scaling relations.

Expansion Coefficients

A generalized Landau free energy for a complex order parameter expanded up to sixth-order is investigated using group theoretical arguments and the mean-field approximation. Results for the phase transitions that occur are presented. The phase diagram for all allowed values of the expansion coefficients is constructed with an emphasis placed on the influence of the anisotropy in the order parameter space. The results can be used in discussions of unconventional superconductors and modulated structural and magnetic orderings.

AbstractSpontaneous C4-symmetry breaking phases are ubiquitous in layered quantum materials, and often compete with other phases such as superconductivity. Preferential suppression of the symmetry broken phases by light has been used to explain non-equilibrium light induced superconductivity, metallicity, and the creation of metastable states. Key to understanding how these phases emerge is understanding how C4 symmetry is restored. A leading approach is based on time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory, which explains the coherence response seen in many systems. However, we show that, for the case of the single layered manganite La0.5Sr1.5MnO4, the theory fails. Instead, we find an ultrafast inhomogeneous disordering transition in which the mean-field order parameter no longer reflects the atomic-scale state of the system. Our results suggest that disorder may be common to light-induced phase transitions, and methods beyond the mean-field are necessary for understanding and manipulating photoinduced phases.

Chapter 17 presented one example of a phase transition, the van der Waals gas. This chapter provides another, the Ising model, a widely studied model of phase transitions. We first give the solution for the Ising chain (one-dimensional model), including the introduction of the transfer matrix method. Higher dimensions are treated in the Mean Field Approximation (MFA), which is also extended to Landau theory. The Ising model is deceptively simple. It can be defined in a few words, but it displays astonishingly rich behavior. It originated as a model of ferromagnetism in which the magnetic moments were localized on lattice sites and had only two allowed values.
