In a previous work a model was proposed for the phase transitions of crystals with localized magnetic moments which at low temperature have a "conical" arrangement that at higher T transforms into a more symmetrical structure (depending on…
The relative stability among the multiple spin density wave (MSDW) states in fcc transition metals has been investigated on the basis of a Ginzburg-Landau type of free energy with terms up to the fourth order in magnetic moments. Obtained…
Substitutions of the zirconium and tin ions along with the indium-niobium and iron-niobium complexes for titanium in the barium modified NBT solid solutions impact the formation of phases in the process of the solid state synthesis and the…
Recent experimental results indicate that phosphorus, a single-component system, can have two liquid phases: a high-density liquid (HDL) and a low-density liquid (LDL) phase. A first-order transition between two liquids of different…
We investigate the superfluid phase transition in a gas of Fermi atoms loaded on a three-dimensional optical lattice. When the lattice potential is strong, this system can be well described by an attractive Hubbard model. In this model, we…
Numerical studies of the QCD phase diagram at finite baryon chemical potential $\mu_B$ on the lattice are impeded by a sign problem. Effective Polyakov loop theories derived from lattice QCD via combined strong-coupling and hopping…
A face-centered cubic (FCC) phase in electro-polished specimens for transmission electron microscopy of commercially pure titanium has sometimes been reported. Here, a combination of atom-probe tomography, scanning transmission electron…
Density functional theory was used to study the nonmagnetic (NM) and ferromagnetic (FM) phases of face-centered cubic cerium. Functionals of four levels of approximations for the exchange-correlation energy were used: LDA, PBE, LDA/PBE+$U$,…
The BCS to BEC evolution has been recently the focus of studies in superconductors and cold atomic gases. For a d-wave system, we show that a Lifshitz transition occurs at a critical particle density which separates two topologically…
We use molecular dynamics with an embedded atom potential to study the behavior of palladium nanoclusters near the melting point in the microcanonical ensemble. We see transitions from both fcc and decahedral ground state structures to…
We report the bulk and surface properties of lithium computed within a full potential LCGTO formalism using both density functional theory and the Hartree-Fock approximation. We examine the convergence of computed properties with respect to…
The phase transition in frustrated spin systems is a fascinated subject in statistical physics. We show the result obtained by the Wang-Landau flat histogram Monte Carlo simulation on the phase transition in the fully frustrated simple…
The thermal restoration of chiral symmetry in QCD is known to proceed by an analytic crossover, which is widely expected to turn into a phase transition with a critical endpoint as the baryon density is increased. In the absence of a…
The nature of the state at low Landau-level filling factors has been a longstanding puzzle in the field of the fractional quantum Hall effect. While theoretical calculations suggest that a crystal is favored at filling factors $\nu\lesssim…
Thermoelastic phenomena associated with orientational phase transition in solid C60 are considered. Coupling of the order parameter with elastic strain is analyzed in the Landau theory of phase transitions. Wide range of possible…
Electrical resistivity, magnetization and specific heat have been measured for single crystals of SmPt$_{2}$Cd$_{20}$. It has been found that SmPt$_{2}$Cd$_{20}$ exhibits a ferromagnetic (FM) transition at $T_{\rm C} = 0.64$ K, the lowest…
We study the FCNC $B_s \to \phi \gamma, \phi \nu \bar \nu$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \gamma, \Lambda \nu \bar \nu$ transitions in the Standard Model and in a scenario with a single Universal Extra Dimension. In particular, we focus on the…
Close-packed, classical dimer models on three-dimensional, bipartite lattices harbor a Coulomb phase with power-law correlations at infinite temperature. Here, we discuss the nature of the thermal phase transition out of this Coulomb phase…
We investigate crystalline thermodynamic stable lithium silicides phases (LixSiy) with density functional theory (DFT) and a force-field method based on modified embedded atoms (MEAM) and compare our results with experimental data. This…
The insulator-to-metal transition in solid helium at high pressure is studied with first-principles simulations. Diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) calculations predict that the band gap closes at a density of 21.3 g/cc and a pressure of…
