Hysteresis phenomena associated with the adsorption of gases on solid surfaces are usually explained in terms of three-dimensional capillary effects or with more or less unspecific reference to phase transitions. It is shown that hysteresis effects are to be expected when two dimensional phase transitions occur on solids. In the connection, the thermodynamic equation governing the equilibrium of small, incompressible two-dimensional phases is derived. Such phases can form on an imperfect solid surface in an irreversible manner and, as calculation shows, can contribute significantly to the hysteresis of adsorption. In some cases the phase change may be responsible for the whole effect. The diffuseness of first-order phase transitions may be due to the same mechanism.

The Wang-Landau Monte Carlo algorithm has been used to study the phase transitions and thermodynamic properties of the two-dimensional ferromagnetic q = 4 Potts model on a triangular lattice. A nature of phase transition has estimated using the methods of the fourth order Binder cumulants and the histogram analysis. It has been established that a first-order phase transition is observed in the model under study.

The main switching properties in ferroelectrics undergoing first-order phase transitions are simulated within the framework of the extended Ishibashi dipole-lattice model including the dipole-dipole interaction in a two-dimensional case for ferroelectric nanoscale objects. The peculiarities of the temperature dependence of the switching rate and the pyroelectric coefficient are discussed in the range of coexistence of the metastable states. The used coefficients of the long-range and short-range interactions between the dipoles are taken from the dielectric and structure measurements inBaTiO3.

AbstractThe main purpose of the experiment was a thermodynamic research with use of the electric methods chosen. The substance examined was olive oil. The paper presents the resistance, capacitive reactance, relative permittivity and resistivity of olive. Compression was applied with two mean velocities up to 450 MPa. The results were shown as functions of pressure and time and depicted on the impedance phase diagram. The three first order phase transitions have been detected. All the changes in material parameters were observed during phase transitions. The material parameters measured turned out to be the much more sensitive long-time phase transition factors than temperature. The values of material parameters and their dependence on pressure and time were compared with the molecular structure, arrangement of molecules and interactions between them. Knowledge about olive oil parameters change with pressure and its phase transitions is very important for olive oil production and conservation.

Abstract Using the holographic correspondence as a tool, we study the dynamics of first-order phase transitions in strongly coupled gauge theories at finite temperature. Considering an evolution from the large to the small temperature phase, we compute the nucleation rate of bubbles of true vacuum in the metastable phase. For this purpose, we find the relevant configurations (bounces) interpolating between the vacua and we compute the related effective actions. We start by revisiting the compact Randall-Sundrum model at high temperature. Using holographic renormalization, we compute the derivative term in the effective bounce action, that was missing in the literature. Then, we address the full problem within the top-down Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model. It displays both a confinement/deconfinement and a chiral symmetry breaking/restoration phase transition which, depending on the model parameters, can happen at different critical temperatures. For the confinement/deconfinement case we perform the numerical analysis of an effective description of the transition and also provide analytic expressions using thick and thin wall approximations. For the chiral symmetry transition, we implement a variational approach that allows us to address the challenging non-linear problem stemming from the Dirac-Born-Infeld action.
