A string of trapped ions at zero temperature exhibits a structural phase transition to a zigzag structure, tuned by reducing the transverse trap potential or the interparticle distance. The transition is driven by transverse, short…
The low-energy limits of models with disorder are frequently described by sigma models. In two dimensions, most sigma models admit either a Wess-Zumino-Witten or a theta term. When such a term is present the model can have a stable critical…
