We consider the asymmetric six--vertex model, {\it i.e.} the symmetric six--vertex model in an external field with both horizontal and vertical components, and the relevant asymmetric $XXZ$ chain. The model is widely used to describe the…
In the present article we obtain the large $N$ asymptotics of the partition function $Z_N$ of the six-vertex model with domain wall boundary conditions on the critical line between the disordered and antiferroelectric phases. Using the…
We analyze the thermodynamics of the focusing discrete nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation in dimensions $d\ge 3$ with general nonlinearity $p>1$ and under a model with two parameters, representing inverse temperature and strength of the…
The free energies of six-vertex models on general domain D with various boundary conditions are investigated with the use of the n-equivalence relation which classifies the thermodynamic limit properties. It is derived that the free energy…
Various phase transitions in models for coupled charge-density waves are investigated by means of the $\epsilon$-expansion, mean-field theory, and Monte Carlo simulations. At zero temperature the effective action for the system with…
Perovskite solid solutions PbHfO3-PbSnO3 offer valuable opportunities for studying the formation mechsnisms of incommensurate phases, owing to the presence of an intermediate (between cubic and incommensurate) phase, which is stabilized in…
We study the 6-vertex model with fixed boundary conditions. In the thermodynamical limit there is a formation of the limit shape. We collect most of the known results about the analytical properties of the free energy of the model as the…
We consider the van der Waals free energy functional in a bounded interval with inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions imposing the two stable phases at the endpoints. We compute the asymptotic free energy cost, as the length of the…
We study the dimer model on the square grid, with quenched random edge weights. Randomness is chosen to have a layered structure, similar to that of the celebrated McCoy-Wu disordered Ising model. Disorder has a highly non-trivial effect…
We prove Goldschmidt's formula [Phys. Rev. B 47 (1990) 4858] for the free energy of the quantum random energy model. In particular, we verify the location of the first order and the freezing transition in the phase diagram. The proof is…
We study the thermodynamics of clean, layered superconductor/ferromagnet nanostructures using fully self consistent methods to solve the microscopic Bogoliubov-deGennes equations. From these self-consistent solutions the condensation free…
We explore, in three spatial dimensions, the transition from the normal state to the Fulde-Ferrel-Larkin-Ovchinnikov superfluid phases. We restrict ourselves to the case of the 'planar' phase, where the order parameter depends only on a…
We discuss several general aspects of the free energy of the standard model at high temperatures. In particular the Clausius-Clapeyron equation is shown to yield a relation between the latent heat and the jump in the order parameter. The…
For an FLRW model, thermodynamic phase transitions are investigated in the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity framework. Using the work density, the equation of state is derived, and the criticality conditions are employed to determine the…
We present a stability analysis of the 2D t-t' Hubbard model on a square lattice for various values of the next-nearest-neighbor hopping t' and electron concentration. Using the free energy expression, derived by means of the flow equations…
We investigate the interplay between disorder and superconducting pairing for a one-dimensional $p$-wave superconductor subject to slowly varying incommensurate potentials with mobility edges. With amplitude increments of the incommensurate…
Understanding the appearance of commensurate and incommensurate modulations in perovskite antiferroelectrics (AFEs) is of great importance for material design and engineering. The dielectric and elastic properties of the AFE domain…
A novel approach for studying phase transitions in systems with quantum degrees of freedom is discussed. Starting from the microscopic hamiltonian of a quantum model, we first derive a set of exact differential equations for the free energy…
In previous papers we have introduced a natural nonequilibrium free energy by considering the functional describing the large fluctuations of stationary nonequilibrium states. While in equilibrium this functional is always convex, in…
A non-isothermal phase field model that captures both displacive and diffusive phase transformations in a unified framework is presented. The model is developed in a formal thermodynamic setting, which provides guidance on admissible…
