Non-equilibrium cooling and heating of an MBBA liquid crystal at the first-order phase transition in a long cell

نویسندگان

چکیده

The first-order phase transition of an MBBA nematic liquid crystal with benzene impurity has been studied by the critical opalescence method at a large cell thickness. Opalescence observed two points. spatial transverse parameters domains are determined from Fraunhofer diffraction. hypothesis about longitudinal correlation parameter is equal to length proposed.

A density-driven first-order phase transition in liquid sulfur

First-order phase transitions are characterized by a discontinuous first derivative of the Gibbs free energy, so that volumes and entropies are discontinuous. Such transitions are common in the crystalline state, but extremely rare in liquid substances and experimentally evidenced in only one pure element, phosphorus. Here we report combined in-situ Raman scattering, X-ray diffraction and densi...

Comment on ‘ Equilibrium crystal shape of the Potts model at the first - order transition point ’

We comment on the article by Fujimoto (1997 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 30 3779) where the exact equilibrium crystal shape (ECS) in the critical Q-state Potts model on the square lattice was calculated, and its equivalence with ECS in the Ising model was established. We confirm these results, giving their alternative derivation applying the transformation properties of the one-particle dispersion re...

First order phase transition of a long polymer chain

We consider a model consisting of a self-avoiding polygon occupying a variable density of the sites of a square lattice. A fixed energy is associated with each 90-bend of the polygon. We use a grand canonical ensemble, introducing parameters μ and β to control average density and average (total) energy of the polygon, and show by Monte Carlo simulation that the model has a first order, nematic ...

Nucleation at the first order phase transition in MnAs nanodisks

The first-order phase transition near 40◦C in as-grown thin epitaxial MnAs films prepared by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs(001) and nanometer-scale disks fabricated from the same films is studied. The disks are found to exhibit a pronounced hysteresis in the temperature curve of the phase composition, i.e. supercooling and overheating take place in the disks whereas they are far less in the sa...
