The critical behaviour in short time dynamics for the q=6 and 7 state Potts models in two-dimensions is investigated. It is shown that dynamic finite-size scaling exists for first-order phase transitions.
We study the dynamics of the entanglement between two oscillators that are initially prepared in a general two-mode Gaussian state and evolve while coupled to the same environment. In a previous paper we showed that there are three…
We introduce and solve a model of hardcore particles on a one dimensional periodic lattice which undergoes an active-absorbing state phase transition at finite density. In this model an occupied site is defined to be active if its left…
Dimensional evolution between one- ($1D$) and two-dimensional ($2D$) topological phases is investigated systematically. The crossover from a $2D$ topological insulator to its $1D$ limit shows oscillating behavior between a $1D$ ordinary…
A discrete solid-on-solid model of epitaxial growth is introduced which, in a simple manner, takes into account the effect of an Ehrlich-Schwoebel barrier at step edges as well as the local relaxation of incoming particles. Furthermore a…
A general system of particles (of one or several species) on a one dimensional lattice with boundaries is considered. Two general behaviors of such systems are investigated. The stationary behavior of the system, and the dominant way of the…
The study of dynamical large deviations allows for a characterization of stationary states of lattice gas models out of equilibrium conditioned on averages of dynamical observables. The application of this framework to the two-dimensional…
Environmental changes greatly influence the evolution of populations. Here, we study the dynamics of a population of two strains, one growing slightly faster than the other, competing for resources in a time-varying binary environment…
We consider an off-lattice liquid crystal pair potential in strictly two dimensions. The potential is purely repulsive and short-ranged. Nevertheless, by means of a single parameter in the potential, the system is shown to undergo a…
The evolution of a two-dimensional driven lattice-gas model is studied on an L_x X L_y lattice. Scaling arguments and extensive numerical simulations are used to show that starting from random initial configuration the model evolves via two…
We study the percolation properties of the growing clusters model. In this model, a number of seeds placed on random locations on a lattice are allowed to grow with a constant velocity to form clusters. When two or more clusters eventually…
We introduce a model for a population on a lattice with diffusion and birth/death according to 2A->3A and A->0 for a particle A. We find that the model displays a phase transition from an active to an absorbing state which is continuous in…
A system of hard rigid rods of length $k$ on hypercubic lattices is known to undergo two phases transitions when chemical potential is increased: from a low density isotropic phase to an intermediate density nematic phase, and on further…
We study the dynamics of an infinite system of point particles of two types. They perform random jumps in $\mathbf{R}^d$ in the course of which particles of different types repel each other whereas those of the same type do not interact.…
In r-neighbour bootstrap percolation on a graph G, a set of initially infected vertices A \subset V(G) is chosen independently at random, with density p, and new vertices are subsequently infected if they have at least r infected…
During the directional solidification of peritectic alloys, two stable solid phases (parent and peritectic) grow competitively into a metastable liquid phase of larger impurity content than either solid phase. When the parent or both solid…
In this paper we show, using scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS), the existence of static striped density of electronic states in nearly optimally doped $\rm Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+\delta}$ in zero field. The observed modulation is strongest…
We develop a description of diffusion limited growth in solid-solid transformations, which are strongly influenced by elastic effects. Density differences and structural transformations provoke stresses at interfaces, which affect the phase…
Bootstrap percolation is a type of cellular automaton which has been used to model various physical phenomena, such as ferromagnetism. For each natural number $r$, the $r$-neighbour bootstrap process is an update rule for vertices of a…
The two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is a fundamental model, which is drawing increasing interest because of recent advances in experimental and theoretical studies of 2D materials. Current understanding of the ground state of the 2DEG…
