Quantum first order phase transitions
The scaling theory of critical phenomena has been successfully extended for classical first order transitions even though the correlation length does not diverge in these transitions. In this paper we apply the scaling ideas to quantum first order transitions. The usefulness of this approach is illustrated treating the problems of a superconductor coupled to a gauge field and of a biquadratic H...
متن کاملUniversal Order Parameters and Quantum Phase Transitions: A Finite-Size Approach
We propose a method to construct universal order parameters for quantum phase transitions in many-body lattice systems. The method exploits the H-orthogonality of a few near-degenerate lowest states of the Hamiltonian describing a given finite-size system, which makes it possible to perform finite-size scaling and take full advantage of currently available numerical algorithms. An explicit conn...
متن کاملWeak First Order Phase Transitions in Quantum Ferroelectrics
We discuss the possibility of weak first order transition in the domain of pressure induced phase transitions in a quantum ferroelectric as a consequence of order parameter fluctuations. We start with a semi-microscopic Hamiltonian, where polarization fluctuations are controlled by hydrostatic pressure via strain coupling, which above certain strength of coupling constant, kills second order tr...
متن کاملOrder and quantum phase transitions in the cuprate superconductors
It is now widely accepted that the cuprate superconductors are characterized by the same longrange order as that present in the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory: that associated with the condensation of Cooper pairs. The author argues that many physical properties of the cuprates require interplay with additional order parameters associated with a proximate Mott insulator. A classificatio...
متن کاملFirst order quantum phase transitions in the XX spin chain
Quantum phase transitional behavior of a finite periodic XX spin1 2 chain with nearest neighbor interaction in a uniform transverse field is studied based on the simple exact solutions. It is found that there are [N/2] quantum critical points in the ground state, where N is the periodic number of the system and [x] stands for the integer part of x, when the interaction strength and magnitude of...
