When the superconducting transition temperature [Formula: see text] sufficiently approaches zero, quantum fluctuations are expected to be overwhelmingly amplified around zero temperature so that the mean-field approximation may break down. This implies that quantum critical phenomena may emerge in highly underdoped and overdoped regions, where the transition temperature [Formula: see text] is sufficiently low. By using Gor’kov’s Green function method, we propose a superconducting quantum critical equation (SQCE) for describing such critical phenomena. For two-dimensional (2D) overdoped materials, SQCE shows that the transition temperature [Formula: see text] and the zero-temperature superfluid phase stiffness [Formula: see text] will obey a two-class scaling combined by linear and parabolic parts, which agrees with the existing experimental investigation [I. Božović et al., Dependence of the critical temperature in overdoped copper oxides on superfluid density, Nature 536 (2016) 309–311]. For three-dimensional (3D) overdoped materials, SQCE predicts that the two-class scaling will be replaced by the linear scaling. Furthermore, we show that SQCE can be applied into highly underdoped region by using Anderson’s non-Fermi liquid model.

This chapter is devoted to a brief review of general properties of phase transitions in macroscopic physics and, in particular in lattice models. Some of these lattice models actually appear as lattice regularizations of Euclidean (imaginary time) quantum physics theory (QFT). Most of the transitions considered in this work have the following character: spins on the lattice, or macroscopic particles in the continuum, interact through short-range forces, assumed, for simplicity, to decay exponentially. For simple systems, it is possible to find a local observable, called order parameter, whose expectation values depend on the phase in the several phase region, for example, the spin in ferromagnetic systems. In the disordered phase, the connected two-point function decreases exponentially at large distance, at a rate characterized by the correlation length (the inverse of the smallest physical mass in particle physics). In continuous transitions, the correlation length diverges at the critical temperature. Within the mean-field approximation (consistent with Landau's theory of critical phenomena), it can be shown that the singular behaviour of thermodynamic quantities at the critical temperature is universal. These properties can also be reproduced by calculating correlation functions with a perturbed Gaussian measure. It is then shown that the leading corrections to the mean-field approximation, in Ising-like systems, diverge at the critical temperature for dimensions smaller than or equal to $4$.

Abstract In the present work, the magnetoelectric coupling coefficient, from the temperature dependences of the dielectric permittivity for the multiferroic composite was determined. The research material was ferroelectric-ferromagnetic composite on the based PZT and ferrite. We investigated the temperature dependences of the dielectric permittivity (") for the different frequency of measurement’s field. From the dielectric measurements we determined the temperature of phase transition from ferroelectric to paraelectric phase. For the theoretical description of the temperature dependence of the dielectric constant, the Hamiltonian of Alcantara, Gehring and Janssen was used. To investigate the dielectric properties of the multiferroic composite this Hamiltonian was expressed under the mean-field approximation. Based on dielectric measurements and theoretical considerations, the values of the magnetoelectric coupling coefficient were specified.

The properties of spin crossover (SCO) nanoparticles were studied for five 2D hexagonal lattice structures of increasing sizes embedded in a matrix, thus affecting the thermal properties of the SCO region. These effects were modeled using the Ising-like model in the framework of local mean field approximation (LMFA). The systematic combined effect of the different types of couplings, consisting of (i) bulk short- and long-range interactions and (ii) edge and corner interactions at the surface mediated by the matrix environment, were investigated by using parameter values typical of SCO complexes. Gradual two and three hysteretic transition curves from the LS to HS states were obtained. The results were interpreted in terms of the competition between the structure-dependent order and disorder temperatures (TO.D.) of internal coupling origin and the ligand field-dependent equilibrium temperatures (Teq) of external origin.

We study novel geometrical and transport properties of a 2D model of disordered fibre networks. To assess the geometrical structure we determine, analytically, the probability distribution for the number of fibre intersections and resulting segment sizes in the network as a function of fibre density and length. We also determine, numerically, the probability distribution of pore perimeters and areas. We find a non-monotonous behavior of the perimeter distribution whose main features can be explained by solving for two simplified models of the line network. Finally we formulate a mean field approximation to conduction, above the percolation threshold, using the derived results. Relevance of the results to fracture networks will be discussed.
