We examine the ordering behavior of the ferromagnetic Ising lattice model defined on a surface with a constant negative curvature. Small-sized ferromagnetic domains are observed to exist at temperatures far greater than the critical temperature, at which the inner-core region of the lattice undergoes a mean-field phase transition. The survival of short-range order at such high temperatures can ...

We study the relation between the Roma and Zaragoza proposals for chiral fermions on the lattice. The fermion action in the Roma approach is shown to be equivalent to one of the Zaragoza type. This result is used to perform a mean-field study of the phase diagram for chiral Yukawa models based on the Roma action. The phase diagram is compared with the one based on the Zaragoza model with the mo...

Periodic boundary conditions are applied to a ferromagnetic spin lattice. A symmetrical lattice and its contributions all over space are being used. Results, for the Ising model with ferromagnetic interaction that decays as a 1/r law, are discussed in the mean field approximation.

abstract: since the field of micro electromechanical systems (mems) continues to grow, the flow in micro devices have become an area that receives a significant attention. the microscopic flows are usually characterized by the knudsen number (kn). when the characteristic size of the particle decreases down to a value comparable to the mean free path of the molecules, the continuum assumption fa...

We introduce a Random Energy Model on a hierarchical lattice where the interaction strength between variables is a decreasing function of their mutual hierarchical distance, making it a nonmean field model. Through small coupling series expansion and a direct numerical solution of the model, we provide evidence for a spin glass condensation transition similar to the one occurring in the usual m...

The key role of the orbital degree of freedom to understanding the magnetic properties of layered ruthenates is discussed based on the 3-orbital Hubbard model coupled to lattice distortions, using numerical and mean-field techniques. In the G-type antiferromagnetic phase of Ca(2)RuO(4), recent x-ray experiments reported 0.5 holes/site in the d(xy) orbital, while d(yz) and d(zx) orbitals contain...
