Sculpting tissues by phase transitions
Nature Communications, 2022 Many biological processes require changes in the physical properties of cells and their surroundings. Here, Lenne and Trivedi discuss recent findings in biological systems in terms of phase transitions in inert physical systems from both theoretical and ...

SciPost Physics Core, 2023 We study dynamical phase transitions occurring in the stationary state of the dynamics of integrable many-body non-hermitian Hamiltonians, which can be either realized as a no-click limit of a stochastic Schrödinger equation or using spacetime duality of

Phases and phase transitions in disordered quantum systems [PDF]
, 2013 These lecture notes give a pedagogical introduction to phase transitions in disordered quantum systems and to the exotic Griffiths phases induced in their vicinity. We first review some fundamental concepts in the physics of phase transitions.

Phase-dependent strategy to mimic quantum phase transitions
Frontiers in Quantum Science and Technology, 2023 This study proposes a hybrid quantum system of an ensemble of collective spins coupled to a surface acoustic wave (SAW) cavity through a sideband design.

The earliest phase transition? [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B, 2000 The question of a phase transition in exiting the Planck epoch of the early universe is addressed. An order parameter is proposed to help decide the issue, and estimates are made concerning its behavior. Our analysis is suggestive that a phase transition occurred.

NanomaterialsThe reasonable design of low-cost, high-activity single-atom catalysts (SACs) is crucial for achieving highly efficient electrochemical CO2RR. In this study, we systematically explore, using density functional theory (DFT), the performance of transition ...

Physical Review Research, 2023 Quantum phase transitions universally exist in the ground and excited states of quantum many-body systems, and they have a close relationship with the nonequilibrium dynamical phase transitions, which however are challenging to identify. In the system of

Nature Communications, 2018 The ideal magnetocaloric material would lay at the borderline of a first-order and a second-order phase transition. Hence, it is crucial to unambiguously determine the order of phase transitions for both applied magnetocaloric research as well as the ...

Quantum phase transitions of the diluted O(3) rotor model [PDF]
, 2006 We study the phase diagram and the quantum phase transitions of a site-diluted two-dimensional O(3) quantum rotor model by means of large-scale Monte-Carlo simulations. This system has two quantum phase transitions, a generic one for small dilutions, and
