We characterize the order-disorder transition in a model lipid bilayer using molecular dynamics simulations. We find that the ordered phase is hexatic. In particular, in-plane structures possess a finite concentration of 5-7 disclination…

We consider first-order phase transitions of the Universe in the radiation-dominated era. We argue that in general the velocity of interfaces is non-relativistic due to the interaction with the plasma and the release of latent heat. We…

The simplified model of first-order transition in a media with frozen long-range transition-temperature disorder is considered. It exhibits the smearing of the transition due to appearance of the intermediate inhomogeneous phase with…

We construct a phase field model including hydrodynamics and elasticity in one-component systems. It can be used to investigate solid-liquid and liquid-liquid phase transitions. Upon first-order phase transition, a velocity field is induced…

Using kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, we study the effect of oscillatory kinetics due to surface reconstructions on Ziff-Gulari-Barshad (ZGB) model discontinuous phase transition. To investigate the transition, we do extensive finite size…

A simple and robust spring-block model obeying threshold dynamics is introduced to study surface fracture of an overlayer subject to stress induced by adhesion to a substrate. We find a novel phase transition in the crack morphology and…

The relaxation process of one dimensional surface modulations is re-examined. Surface evolution is described in terms of a standard step flow model. Numerical evidence that the surface slope, D(x,t), obeys the scaling ansatz…

This report deals with phase transition in Bond Fluctuation Model (BFM) of a linear homo polymer on a two dimensional square lattice. Each monomer occupies a unit cell of four lattice sites. The condition that a lattice site can at best be…

We study an atmospheric column and its discretization. Because of numerical considerations, the column must be divided into two parts: (1) a surface layer, excluded from the computational domain and parameterized, and (2) the rest of the…

This paper looks at the early theory of phase transitions. It considers a group of related concepts derived from condensed matter and statistical physics. The key technical ideas here go under the names of "singularity", "order parameter",…

We study the quantum phase transition mechanisms that arise in the Interacting Boson Model. We show that the second-order nature of the phase transition from U(5) to O(6) may be attributed to quantum integrability, whereas all the…

The q-state Potts model can be formulated in geometric terms, with Fortuin-Kasteleyn (FK) clusters as fundamental objects. If the phase transition of the model is second order, it can be equivalently described as a percolation transition of…

We consider methods of interpolating between the crystalline and dynamically triangulated random surface models. We argue that actions based on the deviation from six of the coordination number at a site are inadequate and propose an…

We propose a kinetic Ising model to study phase separation driven by surface diffusion. This model is referred to as "Model S", and consists of the usual Kawasaki spin-exchange kinetics ("Model B") in conjunction with a kinetic constraint.…

The morphogenesis of cells and tissues involves an interplay between chemical signals and active forces on their surrounding surface layers. The complex interaction of hydrodynamics and material flows on such active surfaces leads to…

The ground state of a one-dimensional spin-1/2 chain with periodical boundary condition in the Heisenberg XY model is investigated. We consider the spatial correlation and concurrence between any nearest-neighbor pair of spins under the…

Agitated wet granular matter can be considered as a nonequilibrium model system for phase transitions, where the macroscopic particles replace the molecules and the capillary bridges replace molecular bonds. It is demonstrated…

A system of two self and mutual interacting ring polymers, close together in space, can display several competing equilibrium phases and phase transitions. Using Monte Carlo simulations and combinatorial arguments on a corresponding lattice…

A discrete Frenkel-Kontorova model with two alternate spring constants $k_{1}$ and $k_{2}$ is studied. It is found that this model has many surprising behaviours. The continuum version of this model is different from the sine-Gordon…

We consider an off-lattice liquid crystal pair potential in strictly two dimensions. The potential is purely repulsive and short-ranged. Nevertheless, by means of a single parameter in the potential, the system is shown to undergo a…
