Scalar CFTs from structural phase transitions

J Rong - International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 2024 - Springer
We discuss scalar conformal field theories (CFTs) that can be realized in structural phase
transitions. The Landau condition and Lifshitz condition are reviewed, which are necessary …

First-order to second-order phase transition changeover and latent heats of -state Potts models in =2,3 from a simple Migdal-Kadanoff adaptation

HY Devre, AN Berker - Physical Review E, 2022 - APS
The changeover from first-order to second-order phase transitions in q-state Potts models is
obtained at qc= 2 in spatial dimension d= 3 and essentially at qc= 4 in d= 2, using a …

[HTML][HTML] Nucleation barrier reconstruction via the seeding method in a lattice model with competing nucleation pathways

Y Lifanov, B Vorselaars, D Quigley - The Journal of chemical physics, 2016 - pubs.aip.org
We study a three-species analogue of the Potts lattice gas model of nucleation from solution
in a regime where partially disordered solute is a viable thermodynamic phase. Using a …

Quantum criticality in the 2d quasiperiodic Potts model

U Agrawal, S Gopalakrishnan, R Vasseur - Physical review letters, 2020 - APS
Quantum critical points in quasiperiodic magnets can realize new universality classes, with
critical properties distinct from those of clean or disordered systems. Here, we study …

q-state Potts model metastability study using optimized GPU-based Monte Carlo algorithms
