The spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg model on martini and martini-diced lattice is exactly solved using a star-triangle transformation, which affords an exact mapping correspondence to an effective spin-1/2 Ising model on a triangular lattice. The…
Although spin cycloids and helices are quite common, remarkably little is known about the normal modes of a spin cycloid or helix with finite length on a discrete lattice. Based on simple one-dimensional lattice models, we numerically…
In this work we define a formal notion of a quantum phase crossover for certain Bethe ansatz solvable models. The approach we adopt exploits an exact mapping of the spectrum of a many-body integrable system, which admits an exact Bethe…

We develop a novel approach to phase transitions in quantum spin models based on a relation to their classical counterparts. Explicitly, we show that whenever chessboard estimates can be used to prove a phase transition in the classical…

We study 2D spin and orbital systems, in a classical limit, in a regime where their coupling is so strong that orbital fluctuations are able to change sign of spin-exchange. Our aim is to understand how different phases in the orbital…
From thermodynamic analysis we demonstrate that during metal-insulator transitions in pure matters, a nonequilibrium homogeneous state may be unstable against charge density modulations with certain wavelengths, and thus evolves to the…
We study the quantum phase transition of the Dicke model in the classical oscillator limit, where it occurs already for finite spin length. In contrast to the classical spin limit, for which spin-oscillator entanglement diverges at the…
A semiclassical theory of a quantum spin$-S$ model with competing ring and Heisenberg exchange terms on the triangular lattice is obtained. A mechanism for the generation of $Z_2$ vortices is exhibited. The vortices are shown to carry a…
The evaluation of phase stabilities of unstable elemental phases is a long-standing problem in the computational assessment of phase diagrams. Here we tackle this problem by explicitly calculating phase diagrams of intermetallic systems…
