We have applied a generalized mean-field approach and quantum Monte-Carlo technique for the model 2D S = 1 (pseudo)spin system to find the ground state phase with its evolution under application of the (pseudo)magnetic field. The comparison of the two methods allows us to clearly demonstrate the role of quantum effects. Special attention is given to the role played by an effective single-ion anisotropy ("on-site correlation").

Let M be a planar embedded graph, and let [Formula: see text] be its double covering. We count the multiplicity of the ground states of the Laplace operator on [Formula: see text] under certain symmetry constraints. The examples of interest for us are ladder-like graphs made out of n, identical rectangles. We find that in the case of an odd n, the multiplicity of the ground state is 2, and if n, is even, the ground state is simple. This result gives an answer to a conjecture by Parks on the type of phase transitions that can occur in a superconducting ladder: Parks conjectured that in the case when the magnetic field is one half fluxoid per rectangle, the phase transition would be continuous in the case of a ladder made out of two rectangles. Our result indeed implies Parks conjecture and generalizes it to any even ladder. The mathematics of this paper is a mixture of topology, symmetry arguments and comparison theorem between the eigenvalues of Laplace operators on graphs with well chosen boundary conditions.

We study ground state pairwise entanglement within one-dimensional spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic J1–J2 model with competing interactions. Contrary to some claims we found that frustration does not increase entanglement. Concurrence of nearest and next nearest neighbors are found to show abrupt change at phase transition points. We also show that the concurrence can be used to classify the phase diagram of the model in anisotropy–frustration plane.

Rietveld neutron powder profile analysis of the compound Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT) is reported over the temperature range 5–873 K. The sequence of phase transitions from the high-temperature prototypic cubic structure (above 813 K), to one of tetragonal (673–773 K) and then rhombohedral structures (5–528 K) has been established. Coexisting tetragonal/cubic (773–813 K) and rhombohedral/tetragonal (with an upper temperature limit of 145 K between 528 and 673 K) phases have also been observed. Refinements have revealed that the rhombohedral phase, space group R3c, with a H = 5.4887 (2), c H = 13.5048 (8) Å, V = 352.33 (3) Å3, Z = 6 and D x = 5.99 Mg m−3, exhibits an antiphase, a − a − a − oxygen tilt system, ω = 8.24 (4)°, with parallel cation displacements at room temperature. The tetragonal phase, space group P4bm, with a T = 5.5179 (2), c T = 3.9073 (2) Å, V = 118.96 (1) Å3, Z = 2 and D x = 5.91 Mg m−3, possesses an unusual combination of in-phase, a 0 a 0 c + oxygen octahedra tilts, ω = 3.06 (2)°, and antiparallel cation displacements along the polar axis. General trends of cation displacements and the various deviations of the octahedral network from the prototypic cubic perovskite structure have been established and their systematic behaviour with temperature is reported. An investigation of phase transition behaviour using second harmonic generation (SHG) to establish the centrosymmetric or non-centrosymmetric nature of the various phases is also reported.
