We introduce a finite-connectivity ferromagnetic model with a three-spin interaction which has a crystalline (ferromagnetic) phase as well as a glass phase. The model is not frustrated, it has a ferromagnetic equilibrium phase at low…
The high temperature limit of interacting spins is usually not associated with ordering or critical phenomena. Nevertheless, spontaneous fluctuations of a local spin polarization at equilibrium have nontrivial dynamics even in this limit.…

FeRh has a phase transition from an antiferromagnetic state (low temperature) to a ferromagnetic state (high temperature) at 360 K. Various explanations for this behavior have been proposed over the past 20 years. However, many of the…

We investigate a multipartite ferromagnetic model without self-interactions between spins of the same party, so that the Hamiltonian is not a definite quadratic form of the magnetisations. We find the free energy and study the phase…
Starting from the canonical ensemble over the space of pure quantum states, we obtain an integral representation for the partition function. This is used to calculate the magnetisation of a system of N spin-1/2 particles. The results…
We investigate pairing and quantum phase transitions in the one-dimensional two-component Fermi atomic gas in an external field. The phase diagram, critical fields, magnetization and local pairing correlation are obtained analytically via…
Phase transitions can occur in one-dimensional classical statistical mechanics at non-zero temperature when the number of components N of the spin is infinite. We show how to solve such magnets in one dimension for any N, and how the phase…
We consider spin systems with long-range interactions in nonadditive regime. When the non-additive scaling limit is employed, the energy and the entropy compete and the system exhibits some phase transitions. Such systems do not satisfy the…
Quantum phase transitions occur at zero temperature when some non-thermal control-parameter like pressure or chemical composition is changed. They are driven by quantum rather than thermal fluctuations. In this review we first give a…
Phase Transition is associated with a drastic change in some observable (ordered parameter) of the system when the controlled parameter is tuned smoothly. Lee-Yang theory of phase transition is discussed which is related to the accumulation…
We show using extensive simulation results and physical arguments that an Ising system on a two dimensional square lattice, having interactions of random sign between first neighbors and ferromagnetic interactions between second neighbors,…
We consider the Ising model on the two-dimensional square lattice where on each horizontal line, called "layer", the interaction is given by a ferromagnetic Kac potential with coupling strength $J_\gamma(x,y)=\gamma J(\gamma(x-y))$, where…
We consider spin-fermion systems which get their magnetic properties from a system of localized magnetic moments being coupled to conducting electrons. The dynamical degrees of freedom are spin-$s$ operators of localized spins and spin-1/2…

We develop an analytical approach based on a unitary transformation to investigate S=1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains coupled to phonons, and find a new quantum phase transition at zero temperature. Although the usual phase…
In this article we study the phase transition phenomenon for the Ising model under the action of a non-uniform external magnetic field. We show that the Ising model on the hypercubic lattice with a summable magnetic field has a first-order…
We suggest that under an increase of a magnetic field a spin-ladder with ferromagnetic legs does not pass without fail through an incommensurate phase but possibly in a straight way turns into a fully polarized ferromagnetic phase. The spin…
