Phase transitions in superionic protonic conductors CsHSO4 and CsHSeO4

CsHSO₄, CsDSO₄ and CsHSeO₄ crystals have been investigated by calorimetry, infrared and Raman spectroscopy and inelastic neutron scattering in the 100–500 K temperature range. Three phases have been shown to exist for CsHSO₄ (CsDSO₄) and four for CsHSeO₄ and the corresponding transition temperatures and enthalpies are given. Spectroscopic results show that heating induces a progressive structural disorder in these crystals. The Raman spectra of the high conductivity phase are similar to those of plastic phase implying a free rotation of HSO₄^- ions. Structural rearrangements of HSO₄^- ions in various phases and the contribution of cations to the conductivity of these mainly protonic conductors are discussed.     

Deconfinement Phase Transition with External Magnetic Field in the Friedberg-Lee Model

The deconfinement phase transition with external magnetic field is investigated in the Friedberg-Lee model.We expand the potential around the two local minima of the first-order deconfinement phase transition and extract the ground state of the system in the frame of functional renormalization group.By solving the Sow equations we find that the magnetic field displays a catalysis effect and it becomes more difficult to break througii the confinement.     

Magnetic Phase Transition Driven by Frustrated Interactions in a Longitudinal‐Field Ising Chain

The ground‐state magnetic phase transitions in a classical spin chain with long‐range interactions in a system of trapped ions are investigated. The tunable competing interactions, mediated by both longitudinal and transverse photon modes, lead to competition among different spins, due to which magnetic frustration occurs. Various ground‐state spin configurations are separated by multiple phase transitions when the strength and sign of these interactions are tuned continuously. The spin chains are highly degenerated because of the frustration, so there is some melting of several magnetic phases.

Geometric Phase in Fluctuating Magnetic Field

Geometric phase in a two-level atom with a fluctuating magnetic field is calculated by a nonunit vector ray in a complex projective Hilbert space, where the nonunit vector is a map connecting with density matrices of a quantum open system. We find that the Pancharatnam phase oscillates with evolving time. The Berry phase depends on the fluctuating parameter but it is proportional to the area spanned in the Bloch parameter space.     

Melonic Phase Transition in Group Field Theory

Group field theories have recently been shown to admit a 1/N expansion dominated by so-called ‘melonic graphs’, dual to triangulated spheres. In this note, we deepen the analysis of this melonic sector. We obtain a combinatorial formula for the melonic amplitudes in terms of a graph polynomial related to a higher-dimensional generalization of the Kirchhoff tree-matrix theorem. Simple bounds on these amplitudes show the existence of a phase transition driven by melonic interaction processes. We restrict our study to the Boulatov–Ooguri models, which describe topological BF theories and are the basis for the construction of 4-dimensional models of quantum gravity.     

Magnetic Impurity Band and Photoinduced Magnetic Phase Transition in Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors

Applying the dynamical coherent potential approximation (dynamical CPA) to a model of diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs), in which both random impurity distribution and thermal fluctuation of localized spins are taken into account, the spin-polarized band and the carrier spin polarization are calculated for various magnetizations. In order to clarify the role of impurity depth on the occurrence of ferromagnetism, three typical cases are investigated: (a) II-VI DMS, (b) deep impurity level, and (c) strong exchange interaction. The present study reveals that the impurity depth of magnetic ions strongly enhances the carrier spin polarization (CSP) and accordingly, leads to a high Curie temperature. This means that photoinduced ferromagnetism with high Curie temperature can be expected in a DMS with a deep impurity depth and strong exchange interaction.     

Nonequilibrium Phase Transition in Spin-S Ising Ferromagnet Driven by Propagating and Standing Magnetic Field Wave

The dynamical response of spin-S(S=1, 3/2, 2, 3) Ising ferromagnet to the plane propagating wave, standing magnetic field wave and uniformly oscillating field with constant frequency are studied separately in two dimensions by extensive Monte Carlo simulation. Depending upon the strength of the magnetic field and the value of the spin state of the Ising spin lattice two different dynamical phases are observed. For a fixed value of S and the amplitude of the propagating magnetic field wave the system undergoes a dynamical phase transition from propagating phase to pinned phase as the temperature of the system is cooled down. Similarly in case with standing magnetic wave the system undergoes dynamical phase transition from high temperature phase where spins oscillate coherently in alternate bands of half wavelength of the standing magnetic wave to the low temperature pinned or spin frozen phase. For a fixed value of the amplitude of magnetic field oscillation the transition temperature is observed to decrease to a limiting value as the value of spin S is increased. The time averaged magnetisation over a full cycle of the magnetic field oscillation plays the role of the dynamic order parameter. A comprehensive phase boundary is drawn in the plane of magnetic field amplitude and dynamic transition temperature. It is found that the phase boundary shrinks inwards for high value of spin state S.Also in the low temperature(and high field) region the phase boundaries are closely spaced.     

Magnetic Phase Transition in Strained Two-Dimensional CrSeTe Monolayer

Tunable magnetic phase transition in two-dimensional materials is a fascinating subject of research. We perform first-principle calculations based on density functional theory to clarify the magnetic property of CrSeTe monolayer modulated by the biaxial compressive strain. Based on the stable structure confirmed by the phonon calculation, CrSeTe is determined to be a ferromagnetic metal that undergoes a phase transition from a ferromagnetic state to an antiferromagnetic state with nearly 2.75% c...     

Chiral Magnetic Effect and Chiral Phase Transition

We study the influence of the chiral phase transition on the chiral magnetic effect. The azimuthal charge-particle correlations as functions of the temperature are calculated. It is found that there is a pronounced cusp in the correlations as the temperature reaches its critical value for the QCD phase transition. It is predicted that there will be a drastic suppression of the charge-particle correlations as the collision energy in RHIC decreases to below a critical value. We show then the azimuthal charge-particle correlations can be the signal to identify the occurrence of the QCD phase transitions in RHIC energy scan experiments.

Experimental observations on mode transition in a positive column of Ne gas under non-uniform axial magnetic field are reported. The self-excited ionization wave is damped and a different type of ionization wave is grown in the region of the strong magnetic field near the magnetic coils.

Klein-Gordon Oscillator in Noncommutative Phase Space Under a Uniform Magnetic Field

Using a direct substitution method, Klein-Gordon oscillator in a uniform magnetic field is researched in the noncommutative phase space (NCPS), the corresponding exact energy is obtained, and the analytic eigenfunction is presented in terms of the confluent hypergeometric. It is shown that the Klein-Gordon oscillator in uniform magnetic field in noncommutative phase space has the similar behaviors to the Landau problem in commutative space. In addition, the non-relativistic limit of the energy spectrum is obtained.     

Quantum Phase Transition and Thermal Entanglement in the Ising Model with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction in an Inhomogeneous Magnetic Field

We investigate the quantum phase transition (QPT) and thermal entanglement in the two-qubit Ising model in an inhomogeneous magnetic field, and the DM interaction between the two lattices is considered. The results show the QPT highly relates to the magnetic intensity B and DM parameter D, by controlling the DM interaction D and external magnetic B we can change the positions of QPT points and the level spacing. Moreover, the QPT is closely related to thermal entanglement, when the QPT happens the ground state always changes between entanglement state and disentanglement state. The thermal entanglement highly depends on the system’s temperature T, DM intensity D and external magnetic field B. When T is lower, the entanglement can exhibit a platform-like region. By modulating the parameters D and B, the entanglement can be controlled and the entanglement switch can be realized.

Phase Operator Theory for an Electron Moving in a Uniform Magnetic Field

We show that the newly found complete and orthonormal representation <λ|, which is constructed in terms of guiding centers and canonical momenta of an electron moving in a uniform magnetic field, also helps us to establish a systematic phase operator theory. The unitary phase operator, interpreted as a quantity canonically conjugated to the electron angular momentum, manifestly exhibits in the <λ| representation its phase behavior. As a byproduct, the phase distribution function, in the correct sense of probability in quantum mechanics, can also be defined by the <λ| representation.
