We consider the two-dimensional (2d) random Ising model on a diagonal strip of the square lattice, where the bonds take two values, $J_1>J_2$, with equal probability. Using an iterative method, based on a successive application of the…
We consider fluids where the attractive interaction at distances slightly larger than the particle size is dominated at larger distances by a repulsive contribution. A previous investigation of the effects of the competition between…
In supercooled liquids, mesoscale mobile and immobile domains are ubiquitously observed, a phenomenon known as dynamical heterogeneity. Extensive studies have established that the characteristic size of these domains grows upon cooling and…
A phenomenological criterion for the superfluid transition is proposed, which is similar to the Lindemann criterion for the crystal melting. Then we derive a new formula for the critical temperature, relating $T_{\lambda}$ to the mean…
