We show that the spontaneous symmetry breaking can be defined also for finite systems based on the properly defined jump probability between the ground states in the 2d and 3d Ising models on a square and a cubic lattice respectively. Our…
Spontaneous symmetry-breaking in phase transitions occurs when the system Hamiltonian is symmetric under a certain transformation, but the equilibrium states observed in nature are not. Here, we prove that when a discrete symmetry is…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) occurs when modes of asymmetric profile appear in a symmetric, double-well potential, due to the nonlinearity of the potential exceeding a critical value. In this study, we examine SSB in a periodic…
