Order parameter fluctuations and thermodynamic phase transitions in finite spin systems and fragmenting nuclei
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 fact on the analysis of experimental fragmentation data.

Quantum phases and fluctuations in correlated electron systems with frustration and competing interactions are reviewed. In the localized moment case the S=1/2 J1 - J2 - model on a square lattice exhibits a rich phase diagram with magnetic as well as exotic hidden order phases due to the interplay of frustration and quantum fluctuations. Their signature in magnetocaloric quantities and the hig...
متن کاملA conjectured scenario for order-parameter fluctuations in spin glasses
We study order-parameter fluctuations (OPF) in disordered systems by considering the behaviour of some recently introduced parameters G,Gc which have proven very useful in locating phase transitions. We prove that both parameters G (for disconnected overlap disorder averages) and Gc (for connected disorder averages) take the respective universal values 3 and 13 31 in the T → 0 limit for any fin...
متن کاملStabilizing Role of Mesoscopic Fluctuations in Spin Systems
The occurrence of mesoscopic fluctuations in statistical systems implies, from the point of view of dynamical theory, the existence of local instabilities. However, the presence of such fluctuations can make a system, as a whole, more stable from the thermodynamic point of view. Thus, in many cases, a local dynamic instability is a requisite for the global thermodynamic stability. This idea is ...
متن کاملExergoeconomic analysis and genetic algorithm power optimization of an irreversible regenerative Brayton cycle
In this study, the performance of an irreversible regenerative Brayton cycle is sought through power maximizations using finite-time thermodynamic concept in finite-size components. Optimizations are performed using a genetic algorithm. In order to take into account the finite-time and finite-size concepts in the current problem, a dimensionless mass-flow rate parameter is used to deploy ti...
متن کاملCritical phenomena on scale-free networks: logarithmic corrections and scaling functions.
In this paper, we address the logarithmic corrections to the leading power laws that govern thermodynamic quantities as a second-order phase transition point is approached. For phase transitions of spin systems on d-dimensional lattices, such corrections appear at some marginal values of the order parameter or space dimension. We present scaling relations for these exponents. We also consider a...
