When the temperature is decreased or the density increases, the system undergoes a phase transition to a Full Replica Symmetry Breaking spin-glass phase. The nature of the transition can be either of the second order (like in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model) or, at temperature below a given ...
if present. The longitudinal rate is instead solely given by their temporal fluctuations. At a second-order phase transition, the relaxation time of the system diverges and crosses the time window of μSR, producing a resonance which is most directly seen as a peak of the longitudinal relaxation...
The current understanding of finite temperature phase transitions in QCD is reviewed. A critical discussion of refined phase transition criteria in numerical lattice simulations and of analytical tools going beyond the mean-field level in effective continuum models for QCD is presented. Theoretical predict...
In some materials exhibiting field-induced first-order transitions (FOTs), the equilibrium phase-transition line is hidden by the hysteresis region associated with the FOT. In general, phase diagrams form the basis for the study of material science, and the profiles of phase-transition lines separa...
The thermodynamics of the influence an external magnetic field on the main physical characteristics of a ferroelectric crystal in the vicinity of a first order phase transition is discussed. Phase transition temperature, polarization, piezomodulus and other physical properties are presented as a function...
one of these points corresponds to the first-order phase transition from crystal to the hexatic phase, and another point corresponds to the second-order phase transition from the hexatic phase to the isotropic liquid. The obtained results are compared to the existing numerical and analytical data....
Finite-time thermodynamics and the gas-liquid phase transition. In this paper, we study the application of the concept of finite-time thermodynamics to first-order phase transitions. As an example, we investigate the tr... M Santoro,JC Schön,M Jansen - 《Physical Review E Statistical Nonline...
Offering a fresh viewpoint on phase changes and the thermodynamics of materials, this textbook covers the thermodynamics and kinetics of the most important phase transitions in materials science, spanning classical metallurgy through to nanoscience and quantum phase transitions. Clear, concise and complete...
This paper uses the thermodynamic data of aqueous solutions of uncrosslinked poly( N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) to study the phase transition of PNIPAM hydrogels. At a low temperature, uncrosslinked PNIPAM can be dissolved in water and form a homogenous liquid solution. When the temperature is ...
The temperatures and enthalpies of the rhombohedral-cubic phase transition of stoichiometric ROF with R Y, La, Pr, Nd, Sm Er, have been determined by differential scanning calorimetry. The temperatures of transition are found in the range 742–880 K in satisfactory agreement with literature data....
