Order parameter fluctuations and thermodynamic phase transitions in finite spin systems and fragmenting nuclei
We show that in small and low density systems described by a lattice gas model with fixed number of particles the location of a thermodynamic phase transition can be detected by means of the distribution of the fluctuations related to an order parameter which is chosen to be the size of the largest fragment. We discuss problems related with the size of the system and the implications of this fa...
متن کاملPhonons and Phase Transitions in Finite Nuclei
The nature and evolution of collectivity and coherence in nuclei is one of the most fundamental issues in nuclear structure and its evolution with N and Z. Despite many experiments, the nature of nuclear vibrational modes in deformed nuclei and the nature of nuclear phase/shape transitions are not at all understood. We discuss new experiments on phonon and multi-phonon states in the rare earth ...
متن کاملPhase Transitions and Fluctuations in Mesoscopic Systems
In this talk some interesting and up-to-date problems will be mentioned, which are opened recently to more extended and detailed fundamental studies. These are static and dynamical problems of meso-scale physics, and other fields like neural networks or financial markets, where dynamic, nonlinear fluctuations are dominant, new phenomena like stochastic resonances or phase synchronization occur....
متن کاملQuantum Shape-Phase Transitions in Finite Nuclei
Quantum phase transitions are structural changes occurring at zero temperature as a function of a coupling constant and driven by quantum fluctuations. An example is the phase transition between different shapes of nuclei for which the equilibrium deformation plays the role of an order parameter. A proper description of such phase transitions necessitates the inclusion of correlation effects be...
متن کاملFinite size effects and the order of a phase transition in fragmenting nuclear systems
We discuss the implications of finite size effects on the determination of the order of a phase transition which may occur in infinite systems. We introduce a specific model to which we apply different tests. They are aimed to characterise the smoothed transition observed in a finite system. We show that the microcanonical ensemble may be a useful framework for the determination of the nature o...
