Field-induced phase transitions in antiferroelectric liquid crystals.
A theoretical study is made of the process by which an antiferroelectric smectic liquid crystal undergoes a field-induced transition to ferroelectric alignment. We find that for cells of moderate thickness the initial departure from antiferroelectric alignment occurs as a continuous Fréedericksz transition. The following transition from partial alignment to complete ferroelectric ordering may o...
متن کاملTheory of Magnetic Phase Transitions
The existence of magnetic order (also termed collective magnetism) that is the orderly arrangement of the magnetic spins appearing in materials below an ordering temperature (e.g., the Curie temperature, TC, of a ferromagnet or the Neel temperature, TN, of an antiferromagnet; see Magnetic Moment and Magnetization) points to a class of physical phenomena that can be described as magnetic phase t...
متن کاملPhase transitions in Proof Theory
Consider a familiar (presumably consistent) arithmetical theory T and a sufficiently complicated arithmetical assertion A(r) with computable real parameter r > 0. Let us assume that A(r) is true, T provable for small values of r, T -unprovable for large values of r, and that A is monotone with respect to T -unprovability. We are interested in classifying exactly the threshold point t at which t...
متن کاملTheory of the Microscopic Maser Phase Transitions
Phase diagrams of the micromaser system are mapped out in terms of the physical parameters at hand like the atom cavity transit time τ , the atom-photon frequency detuning ∆ω, the number of thermal photons nb and the probability a for a pump atom to be in its excited state. Critical fluctuations are studied in terms of correlation measurements on atoms having passed through the micromaser or on...
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...
