We study the nature of the phase diagram of three-dimensional lattice models in the presence of nonabelian gauge symmetries. In particular, we consider a paradigmatic model for the Higgs mechanism, lattice scalar chromodynamics with N_f…

We study the 2D Ginzburg-Landau theory for a type-II superconductor in an applied magnetic field varying between the second and third critical value. In this regime the order parameter minimizing the GL energy is concentrated along the…

Surface and bulk critical properties of an aperiodic spin chain are investigated in the framework of the $\phi^4$ phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau theory. According to Luck's criterion, the mean field correlation length exponent $\nu=1/2$…

Structural defects in a crystal are responsible for the "two length-scale" behavior, in which a sharp central peak is superimposed over a broad peak in critical diffuse X-ray scattering. We have previously measured the scaling behavior of…

We consider m two-dimensional semi-infinite planes of Ising spins joined together through surface spins and study the critical behaviour near to the junction. The m=0 limit of the model - according to the replica trick - corresponds to the…

We present a unified mean-field theory, based on the single site approximation to the master-equation, for stochastic self-organized critical models. In particular, we analyze in detail the properties of sandpile and forest-fire (FF)…

We investigated the phase transition behavior of a binary spreading process in two dimensions for different particle diffusion strengths ($D$). We found that $N>2$ cluster mean-field approximations must be considered to get consistent…

Transfer-matrix methods, with the help of finite-size scaling and conformal invariance concepts, are used to investigate the critical behavior of two-dimensional square-lattice Ising spin-1/2 systems with first- and second-neighbor…

Using Monte Carlo techniques, Ising models with ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor interactions on a simple cubic lattice are studied. At the surface transition, the critical exponent $\beta_2$ of the edge magnetization is found to be…

We investigate the phase diagram of a two-component associating fluid mixture in the presence of selectively adsorbing substrates. The mixture is characterized by a bulk phase diagram which displays peculiar features such as closed loops of…

The critical behavior of a dimer model with an interaction favoring parallel dimers in each plaquette of the square lattice is studied numerically by means of the Corner Transfer Matrix Renormalization Group algorithm. The critical…

Single-site dynamical mean field theory is used to determine the magnetic and orbital-ordering phase diagram for a model of electrons moving on a lattice with three orbital states per site and with the fully rotationally invariant…

We present microscopic models of spin ladders which exhibit continuous critical surfaces whose properties and existence, unusually, cannot be inferred from those of the flanking phases. These models exhibit either `multiversality' -- the…

The surface critical behaviour of the interacting self-avoiding trail is examined using transfer matrix methods coupled with finite-size scaling. Particular attention is paid to the critical exponents at the ordinary and special points…

We consider random q-state Potts models for $3\le q \le 8$ on the square lattice where the ferromagnetic couplings take two values $J_1>J_2$ with equal probabilities. For any q the model exhibits a continuous phase transition both in the…

We investigate the critical behaviour of the two-dimensional Ising model defined on a curved surface with a constant negative curvature. Finite-size scaling analysis reveals that the critical exponents for the zero-field magnetic…

We have studied the antiferromagnetic order -- disorder transition occurring at $T=0$ in a 2-layer quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet as the inter-plane coupling is increased. Quantum Monte Carlo results for the staggered structure factor…

The interaction between two chemically identical charge-regulated surfaces is studied using the classical density functional theory. In contrast to common expectations and assumptions, under certain realistic conditions we find a…

We discuss the critical behavior of several three-dimensional magnetic systems, such as pure and randomly dilute (anti)ferromagnets and stacked triangular antiferromagnets. We also discuss the nature of the multicritical points that arise…

Close to a solid surface, the properties of a fluid deviate significantly from their bulk values. In this context, we study the surface adsorption profiles of a symmetric binary liquid confined to a slit pore by means of molecular dynamics…
