چکیده
We have studied the magnetic and thermodynamic properties as well as the NMR spectra of the quasi two-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet RbFe(MoO4)2. The observed temperature dependence of the order parameter, the critical indices and the overall magnetic H − T phase diagram are all in a good agreement with the theoretical predictions for a 2D XY model. The temperature dependence of the specific heat at low temperature demonstrates a crossover from a T 2 law characteristic of a two-dimensional antiferromagnet to a three-dimensional T 3 law.

On the Phase Diagram of the SU ( 2 ) Adjoint Higgs Model in 2 + 1 Dimensions
The phase diagram is investigated for SU(2) lattice gauge theory in d = 3, coupled to adjoint scalars. For small values of the quartic scalar coupling, λ, the transition separating Higgs and confinement phases is found to be first-order, in agreement with earlier work by Nadkarni. The surface of second-order transitions conjectured by Nadkarni, however, is shown instead to correspond to crossov...

Lattice simulations employing reweighting and Taylor expansion techniques have predicted a (μ ,T )-phase diagram according to general expectations, with an analytic quark-hadron crossover at μ = 0 turning into a first order transition at some critical chemical potential μE . By contrast, recent simulations using imgainary μ followed by analytic continuation obtained a critical structure in the ...
متن کاملDisorder and the quantum critical point in UCu5−xPdx
We have measured the magnetization of UCu5−xPdx (x = 0.7, 1, 1.5, 2) in fields H as large as 30 T and for temperatures between 1.4 K and 150 K. A compositionand temperaturedependent characteristic field H ∗(x, T ) is identified, which separates two different non-Fermi liquid scaling regimes, present even in zero field. For H H ∗(x, T ), composition-independent scaling is found, while for H H ∗(...

The viscosity over entropy density ratio, or KSS number, can help isolate the critical point in the hadron phase-diagram in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions. We argue that this quantity does have a minimum at a phase transition or crossover. Although indications from conventional non-relativistic gases point out to even a divergence in η/s when the phase-transition is first-order, since the cr...
