Critical phenomena and renormalization-group theory

A Pelissetto, E Vicari - Physics Reports, 2002 - Elsevier
We review results concerning the critical behavior of spin systems at equilibrium. We
consider the Ising and the general O (N)-symmetric universality classes, including the N→ 0 …

Monte Carlo tests of renormalization-group predictions for critical phenomena in Ising models

K Binder, E Luijten - Physics Reports, 2001 - Elsevier
A critical review is given of status and perspectives of Monte Carlo simulations that address
bulk and interfacial phase transitions of ferromagnetic Ising models. First, some basic …

The Universality class of the electroweak theory

K Rummukainen, M Tsypin, K Kajantie, M Laine… - Nuclear Physics B, 1998 - Elsevier
We study the universality class and critical properties of the electroweak theory at finite
temperature. Such critical behaviour is found near the endpoint mH= mH, c of the line of first …

A detailed thermodynamic analysis of [C 4 mim][BF 4]+ water as a case study to model ionic liquid aqueous solutions

LPN Rebelo, V Najdanovic-Visak, ZP Visak… - Green …, 2004 - pubs.rsc.org
Since determining experimentally a wide variety of thermophysical properties—even for a
very small portion of the already known room temperature ionic liquids (and their mixtures …

Phase behavior of the restricted primitive model and square-well fluids from Monte Carlo simulations in the grand canonical ensemble

G Orkoulas, AZ Panagiotopoulos - The Journal of chemical physics, 1999 - pubs.aip.org
Significant methodological progress has been made over the years in the development of
Monte Carlo algorithms capable of predicting phase equilibrium properties for model …

Experimental critical-exponent values for fluids

JV Sengers, JG Shanks - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2009 - Springer
After a review of the history and an assessment of the current status of the subject, we
present light-scattering data to determine the critical correlation-function exponents for an …

Simulation studies of fluid critical behaviour

NB Wilding - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 1997 - iopscience.iop.org
We review and discuss recent advances in the simulation of bulk critical phenomena in
model fluids. In particular we emphasize the extensions to finite-size scaling theory needed …

SAFT associating fluids and fluid mixtures

C McCabe, A Galindo - 2010 - books.rsc.org
While we could argue that the goals of modelling fluid phase equilibria have not changed
greatly since the time of van der Waals, there is little doubt that the systems of interest have …

Recent applications of small-angle neutron scattering in strongly interacting soft condensed matter

GD Wignall, YB Melnichenko - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
Before the application of small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) to the study of polymer
structure, chain conformation studies were limited to light and small-angle x-ray scattering …
