Compass models: Theory and physical motivations

Z Nussinov, J Van Den Brink - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2015 - APS
Compass models are theories of matter in which the couplings between the internal spin (or
other relevant field) components are inherently spatially (typically, direction) dependent. A …

Medium-range atomic correlation in simple liquids. I. Distinction from short-range order

CW Ryu, T Egami - Physical Review E, 2021 - APS
Physical properties of liquids and glasses are controlled not only by the short-range order
(SRO) in the nearest-neighbor atoms but also by the medium-range order (MRO) observed …

Medium-range atomic correlation in simple liquids. II. Theory of temperature dependence

T Egami, CW Ryu - Physical Review E, 2021 - APS
The spatial atomic correlations in liquids and glasses extend often significantly beyond the
nearest neighbors. Such correlations, called the medium-range order (MRO), affect many …

Quantum spins on star graphs and the Kondo model

N Crampé, A Trombettoni - Nuclear Physics B, 2013 - Elsevier
We study the XX model for quantum spins on the star graph with three legs (ie, on a Y-
junction). By performing a Jordan–Wigner transformation supplemented by the introduction …

Exact periodic stripes for minimizers of a local/nonlocal interaction functional in general dimension

S Daneri, E Runa - Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis, 2019 - Springer
We study the functional considered in Giuliani et al.(Phys Rev B 84: 064205, 2011, Commun
Math Phys 331 (1): 333–350, 2014) and Giuliani and Seiringer (Commun Math Phys 347 …

Universality of pattern formation

MA Schindler, ST Schindler, L Medina, MC Ogilvie - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We study a PT-symmetric scalar Euclidean field theory with a complex action, using both
theoretical analysis and lattice simulations. This model has a rich phase structure that …

Periodic striped ground states in Ising models with competing interactions

A Giuliani, R Seiringer - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2016 - Springer
We consider Ising models in two and three dimensions, with short range ferromagnetic and
long range, power-law decaying, antiferromagnetic interactions. We let J be the ratio …

[HTML][HTML] Breakdown of the Stokes–Einstein relationship and rapid structural ordering in CuZrAl metallic glass-forming liquids

FZ Chen, NA Mauro, SM Bertrand, P McGrath… - The Journal of …, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
The results of a combined structural and dynamical study of Cu–Zr–Al metallic glass forming
liquids are presented. Containerless high-energy x-ray scattering experiments made using …

Resolving entropy contributions in nonequilibrium transitions

B Sorkin, J Ricouvier, H Diamant, G Ariel - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
We derive a functional for the entropy contributed by any microscopic degrees of freedom as
arising from their measurable pair correlations. Applicable both in and out of equilibrium, this …

Non-Hermitian quantum gases: a platform for imaginary time crystals

R Arouca, EC Marino, C Morais Smith - Quantum Frontiers, 2022 - Springer
One of the foremost objectives of statistical mechanics is the description of the
thermodynamic properties of quantum gases. Despite the great importance of this topic …
