In addition to the terminal flow (the region I) and the shear thinning (the region II), we discover two new flow regions in capillary flow at the wall stress higher than the plateau modulus of the polymer. The region III violates the…
The universal anomalous diffusion scaling is obtained for the semiclassical quantum Hall transition, which has been argued to describe samples with dissipation or correlated impurities. The results explain a discrepancy between existing…
Scaling describes how a given quantity $Y$ that characterizes a system varies with its size $P$. For most complex systems it is of the form $Y\sim P^\beta$ with a nontrivial value of the exponent $\beta$, usually determined by regression…
New scalar structure functions with different sign-symmetry properties are defined. These structure functions possess different scaling exponents even when their order is the same. Their scaling properties are investigated for second and…
We consider two-dimensional (2d) quantum many-body systems with long-range orders, where the only gapless excitations in the spectrum are Goldstone modes of spontaneously broken continuous symmetries. To understand the interplay between…

We investigate numerically the transverse and longitudinal correlation lengths of the three-dimensional O(4) model as a function of the external field H. In the low-temperature phase we verify explicitly the H^{-1/2}-dependence of the…

In the framework of the trap-size scaling theory, we study the scaling properties of the Bose-Hubbard model in two dimensions in the presence of a trapping potential at finite temperature. In particular, we provide results for the particle…
The well known scaling laws relating critical exponents in a second order phase transition have been generalized to the case of an arbitrarily higher order phase transition. In a higher order transition, such as one suggested for the…
Experimental evidence for the existence of strictly higher-order phase transitions (of order three or above in the Ehrenfest sense) is tenuous at best. However, there is no known physical reason why such transitions should not exist in…
Nonequilibrium states of quantum materials can exhibit exotic properties and enable unprecedented functionality and applications. These transient states are inherently inhomogeneous, characterized by the formation of topologically protected…
We consider the ordering kinetics of a nonconserved scalar field advected by a uniform shear flow. Using the Ohta-Jasnow-Kawasaki approximation, modified to allow for shear-induced anisotropy, we calculate the asymptotic time dependence of…
It is well known that the microstructures of the transition-metal oxides (refs 1-3), including the high-transition-temperature (high-Tc) copper oxide superconductors (refs 4-7), are complex. This is particularly so when there are oxygen…
We investigate the off-equilibrium dynamics of a spin system with O($N$) symmetry in $2 < d < 4$ spatial dimensions arising by the presence of a slowly varying time-dependent magnetic field $h(t,t_s) \sim t/t_s$, $t_s$ is a time scale, at…
Microcanonical Monte Carlo simulations of a polydisperse soft-spheres model for liquids and colloids have been performed for very large polydispersity, in the region where a phase-separation is known to occur when the system (or part of it)…
