Abstract Non-centrosymmetric NdAlGe is considered to be a candidate for magnetic Weyl semimetal in which the Weyl nodes can be moved by magnetization. Clarification of the magnetic structures and couplings in this system is thus crucial to understand its magnetic topological properties. In this work, we conduct a systematical study of magnetic properties and critical behaviors of single-crystal NdAlGe. Angle-dependent magnetization exhibits strong magnetic anisotropy along the c-axis and absolute isotropy in the ab-plane. The study of critical behavior with H//c gives critical exponents β = 0.236(2), γ = 0.920(1), and δ = 4.966(1) at critical temperature TC = 5.2(2) K. Under the framework of the universality principle, M(T, H) curves are scaled into universality curves using these critical exponents, demonstrating reliability and self-consistency of the obtained exponents. The critical exponents of NdAlGe are close to the theoretical prediction of a tricritical mean-field model, indicating a field-induced tricritical behavior. Based on the scaling analysis, a H −T phase diagram for NdAlGe with H//c is constructed, revealing a ground state with an up-up- down spin configuration. The phase diagram unveils multiple phases including up-up-down domains, up-up-down ordering state, polarized ferromagnetic (PFM), and paramagnetic (PM) phases, with a tricritical point (TCP) located at the intersection [TT CP = 5.27(1) K, HT CP = 30.1(3) kOe] of up-up-down, PFM, and PM phases. The multiple phases and magnetic structures imply a delicate competition and balance between variable interactions and couplings, laying a solid foundation for unveiling topological properties and critical phenomena in this system.

We study the simplest perturbation of the matrix model for pure gravity susceptible of reaching the k=3 multicritical point in the framework of the stochastic stabilization of 2D quantum gravity. We show the existence of a line of points in the phase diagram with the genuine critical behavior of the k=2 theory. All the points of the critical line, up to the tricritical point, can be approached from a stable phase at the dominant level in 1/N expansion.

The ultraviolet/visible photon transmission technique was applied to study the phase diagram of a mixture of 4-ethoxy-4′-(6-vinyloxyhexyloxyl) azobenzene (VE), a smectogen, and 4-hexoxy-3′-methyl-4′-(6-acryloyloxyhexyloxy) azobenzene (AH), which by itself exhibits no liquid crystalline behavior. It has been found that the N-Sm-A phase line terminates at either a tricritical point at about X VE = 0.9, where X VE is the weight percentage of VE in the binary mixture, or at least at a tricritical region 0.9 < X VE < 1 within the experimental resolution. For X VE = 1 the nematic phase region is not large enough to drive the transition second-order. It is found that the value of the critical exponent β for X VE = 0.9 is consistent with the tricritical value.
