In a recent PRL Barci and Stariolo (BS) generalized the well known Brazovskii model to include an additional rotationally invariant quartic interaction and study this model in two dimensions (2d). Depending on the parameters of the model,…

Phase transitions of the $J_1$-$J_2$ Ising model on a square lattice are studied using the higher-order tensor renormalization group(HOTRG) method. This system involves a competition between the ferromagnetic interaction $J_1$ and…
The theory of phase transitions is based on the consideration of "idealized" models, such as the Ising model: a system of magnetic moments living on a cubic lattice and having only two accessible states. For simplicity the interaction is…
Novel competing orders are found in spin 3/2 cold atomic systems in one-dimensional optical traps and lattices. In particular, the quartetting phase, a four-fermion counterpart of Cooper pairing, exists in a large portion of the phase…
For two-patch particles in two dimensions, we find that the coupling of anisotropic patchy interactions and the triangular lattice leads to novel phase behaviors. For asymmetric patch-patch (PP) and nonpatch-nonpatch (NN) interactions, the…
