The phase transition of DNA molecules is studied in an exactly solvable formalism with the Morse and Deng–Fan potentials for the interstrand hydrogen bonds of nucleotide base pairs. It is shown that although the two potentials have different short-range behaviors, the thermodynamic quantities of the DNA system in these potentials enjoy the same scaling laws with the associated critical exponents, which are explicitly calculated. These exactly solvable DNA models are shown to exhibit a phase transition of the second order and the results of the analysis agree with previous studies.

We study thermodynamically the behaviour of PdSe2 while subjected to high pressure under isothermal conditions. The present paper discusses the volumetric-level calculations and results. Experiments under two certain temperature levels are performed: 20oC and 300oC. Calculations and analyses are done according to the method for thermodynamical analysis developed by us in [1]. We detected the order of phase transition from PdS2 structure type to pyrite one to be first order notwithstanding the temperature level. Values of transition pressure were found to be 12.24 GPa and 9.785 GPa at 20oC and 300oC, respectively. Adjusted entropy generation during compression was calculated aiming to study stability of treated compound. Influence of compression temperature level was analysed, as well as duration of pressure plateaux.

We study quantum phase transition of the [Formula: see text] spin model with Dzyaloshinsky–Moriya interaction, by using quantum correlation measures, i.e. quantum deficit and measurement-induced disturbance. It is shown that as the Dzyaloshinsky–Moriya coupling parameter [Formula: see text] increases, the behaviors of quantum phase transition can be suppressed. We also investigate quantum phase transition for the Ising and [Formula: see text] spin models at finite temperature. It is found that quantum phase transition characterized by measurement-induced disturbance is greater than or equal to that characterized by quantum deficit. Other interesting analytical results and numerical results on quantum phase transition for the proposed spin models are also presented by applying the two measures. Furthermore, we also compare quantum deficit and measurement-induced disturbance with quantum entanglement, quantum discord and quantum coherence.
