Critical Exponents for Granular Phase Transitions
The solid–fluid phase transition of a granular material shaken horizontally is investigated numerically. We find that it is a first-order phase transition and propose two order parameters, namely the averaged kinetic energy and the averaged granular temperature, to determine the fluidization point precisely. It scales as amplitude times square of the frequency of the external vibration. Using t...
متن کامل.1 Second-order Phase Transitions 1.2 Critical Exponents
1 Introduction Systems containing a large number of particles exhibit a great variety of phase transitions. Most common are first-and second-order transitions. A transition is said to be first-order if the internal energy changes discontinuously at a certain temperature. Such a transition is accompanied by the release or absorption of latent heat. Important examples are melting and evaporation ...
متن کاملAbout the determination of critical exponents related to possible phase transitions in nuclear fragmentation
We introduce a method based on the finite size scaling assumption which allows to determine numerically the critical point and critical exponents related to observables in an infinite system starting from the knowledge of the observables in finite systems. We apply the method to bond percolation in 2 dimensions and compare the results obtained when the bond probability p or the fragment multipl...
متن کاملGeometry of dynamics, Lyapunov exponents and phase transitions
The Hamiltonian dynamics of classical planar Heisenberg model is numerically investigated in two and three dimensions. By considering the dynamics as a geodesic flow on a suitable Riemannian manifold, it is possible to analytically estimate the largest Lyapunov exponent in terms of some curvature fluctuations. The agreement between numerical and analytical values for Lyapunov exponents is very ...
متن کاملPhase Transitions and Critical Phenomena.phase Transitions in Liquid Crystals
The present text is the transcription of an introductory lecture discussing two phase transitions : nematic-isotropic and smectic A-nematic. The emphasis is on simple qualitative features, including Landau ~heories, coherence lengths and scaling properties.
