The effect of the Coulomb interaction on the phase diagram of finite nuclei is studied within the Canonical Thermodynamic Model. If Coulomb effects are artificially switched off, this model shows a phenomenology consistent with the…

We discuss the implications of finite size effects on the determination of the order of a phase transition which may occur in infinite systems. We introduce a specific model to which we apply different tests. They are aimed to characterise…

The dynamics and thermodynamics of melting in two-dimensional Coulomb clusters is revisited using molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations. Several parameters are considered, including the Lindemann index, the largest Lyapunov…

The interest in the topological properties of materials brings into question the problem of topological phase transitions. As a control parameter is varied, one may drive a system through phases with different topological properties. What…

It is common knowledge that the microcanonical, canonical, and grand-canonical ensembles are equivalent in thermodynamically large systems. Here, we study finite-size effects in the latter two ensembles. We show that contrary to naive…

The effects of (in)homogeneity and size on the phase diagram of Lennard-Jones fluids are investigated. It is shown that standard multifragmentation scenarios (finite equilibrated systems with conserved center of mass position and momentum)…

We study zero-range processes which are known to exhibit a condensation transition, where above a critical density a non-zero fraction of all particles accumulates on a single lattice site. This phenomenon has been a subject of recent…

In a recent paper ["Cluster Model of Decagonal Tilings" (to be published in Phys. Rev. B)], we have introduced a cluster model for decagonal tilings in two dimensions. This model is now extended to three dimensions. Two-dimensional tilings…

We realize an extensive numerical study of the Naming Game model with a noise term which accounts for perturbations. This model displays a non-equilibrium phase transition between an absorbing ordered consensus state, which occurs for small…

We examine a model in which a nonequilibrium phase transition from an active to an extinct state is observed. The order of this phase transition has been shown to be either continuous or first-order, depending on the parameter values and…

First order quantum phase transitions (1QPTs) are signaled, in the thermodynamic limit, by discontinuous changes in the ground state properties. These discontinuities affect expectation values of observables, including spatial correlations.…

The finite-size effects prominent in zero-range processes exhibiting a condensation transition are studied by using continuous-time Monte Carlo simulations. We observe that, well above the thermodynamic critical point, both static and…

We discuss the finite-size effects on the chiral phase transition in QCD. We employ the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model and calculate the thermodynamic potential in the mean-field approximation. Finite-size effects on the thermodynamic potential…

In this work we investigate the finite-size effects on the phase structure of Walecka model within the framework of generalized Zeta-function, focusing on the influence of temperature as well as the number and length of compactified spatial…

An efficient scheme is introduced for a fast and smooth convergence to the thermodynamic limit with finite size cluster calculations. This is obtained by modifying the energy levels of the non interacting Hamiltonian in a way consistent…

We analyze thermodynamic models for fluid systems in equilibrium based on a virial expansion of the internal energy in terms of the volume density. We prove that the models, formulated for finite-size systems with $N$ particles, are exactly…

The effect of the finite system size on the QCD phase diagram was studied with various momentum space constraints within a mean-field quark-meson model. On the one hand side, the choice of the scenario -- low-momentum cutoff and…

Contrary to field theoretical calculations in the thermodynamic limit where the volume is assumed to be infinitely large, the heavy-ion collisions always carry the effects of finite size. A sufficiently small system size is expected to…

We test the influence of the Coulomb interaction on the thermodynamic and cluster generation properties of a system of classical particles described by different lattice models. Numerical simulations show that the Coulomb interaction…

When addressing the thermodynamics of finite-sized systems, one must specify whether one wants to fix conserved charges to a sharp value or whether one is content to fix their thermodynamic average. In other words, contrary to the…
