Shocks versus kinks in a discrete model of displacive phase transitions
We consider dynamics of phase boundaries in a bistable one-dimensional lattice with harmonic long-range interactions. Using Fourier transform and Wiener–Hopf technique, we construct traveling wave solutions that represent both subsonic phase boundaries (kinks) and intersonic ones (shocks). We derive the kinetic relation for kinks that provides a needed closure for the continuum theory. We show ...
متن کاملTheory of displacive phase transitions in minerals
A lattice-dynamical treatment of displacive phase transitions leads naturally to the softmode model, in which the phase-transition mechanism involves a phonon frequency that falls to zero at the transition temperature. The basic ideas of this approach are reviewed in relation to displacive phase transitions in silicates. A simple free-energy model is used to demonstrate that Landau theory gives...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Simulation of Displacive Phase Transitions
Displacive phase transitions have been extensively modelled by the 4 model. In this project, this model is applied to a system with a scalar displacement at each ‘atom’ in a three-dimensional lattice. The behaviour of the system is simulated using molecular dynamics techniques on a massively parallel computer. The code is tested to confirm that the simulation is behaving correctly and is suffic...
متن کاملThe unified model description of order-disorder and displacive structural phase transitions
Starting from a general Hamiltonian of pair-coupled anharmonic (quartic) oscillators, together with the concept of local normal coordinates, a unified model description of both order-disorder and displacive types of SPT-systems is proposed. Within the framework of the standard variational procedure, a hybridized pseudospin-phonon Hamiltonian is formulated by introducing variables corresponding ...
متن کاملPhase transitions in discrete structures
Random discrete structures such as random graphs or matrices play an important role in several disciplines, including combinatorics, coding theory, computational complexity theory, and the theory of algorithms. Over the past about 20 years, non-rigorous techniques from statistical mechanics have been adapted for/applied to many of these problems. The monographs [3, 4, 8] provide an overview of ...
