Recent progress in the phase-transition mechanism and modulation of vanadium dioxide materials
NPG Asia Materials, 2018 Metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) behaviors accompanied by a rapid reversible phase transition in vanadium dioxide (VO2) have gained substantial attention for investigations into various potential applications and obtaining good materials to study ...

On the Douglas-Kazakov phase transition
ESAIM: Proceedings and Surveys, 2015 We give a rigorous proof of the fact that a phase transition discovered by Douglas and Kazakov in 1993 in the context of two-dimensional gauge theories occurs. This phase transition can be formulated in terms of the Brownian bridge on

, 2015 Two dimensional systems with U(1) symmetry exhibit a peculiar phase, i.e., the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase. In particular situations, the BKT phase exists as an intermediate temperature phase.

Characterization of topological phase transitions via topological properties of transition points
, 2015 We study topological properties of phase transition points of topological quantum phase transitions by assigning a topological invariant defined on a closed circle or surface surrounding the phase transition point in the parameter space of momentum and ...

Gravitational waves from a first-order electroweak phase transition: a brief review [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2017 We review the production of gravitational waves by an electroweak first-order phase transition. The resulting signal is a good candidate for detection at next-generation gravitational wave detectors, such as LISA.

Structural semiconductor-to-semimetal phase transition in two-dimensional materials induced by electrostatic gating [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2016 Dynamic control of conductivity and optical properties via atomic structure changes is of technological importance in information storage. Energy consumption considerations provide a driving force towards employing thin materials in devices.

QCD Viscosity to Entropy Density Ratio in the Hadronic Phase [PDF]
, 2007 Shear viscosity (eta) of QCD in the hadronic phase is computed by the coupled Boltzmann equations of pions and nucleons in low temperatures and low baryon number densities.

Population Ecology, EarlyView.Population size and dynamics fundamentally shape speciation by influencing genetic drift, founder events, and adaptive potential. Small populations may speciate rapidly due to stronger drift, whereas large populations harbor more genetic diversity, which can alter divergence trajectories. We highlight theoretical models that incorporate population size
