Deconfined quantum critical points (DQCPs) are putative phase transitions beyond the Landau paradigm with emergent fractionalized degrees of freedom. The original example of a DQCP is the spin-1/2 quantum antiferromagnet on the square…
We investigate the emergence of an astonishingly long pre-thermal plateau in a classical phonon field, here a harmonic chain with on-site pinning. Integrability is broken by a weak anharmonic on-site potential with strength $\lambda$. In…
A simple intuitive picture of spin-Peierls antiferromagnets arises from regarding the elementary excitations as S=1/2 solitons. In a strictly one-dimensional system these excitations are assumed not to form bound-states and to be repelled…
