Finite-size effects on nucleation in a first-order phase transition

Fraga, Eduardo S.; Venugopalan, Raju - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 345 (2005) 1, pp. 121-129

We discuss finite-size effects on homogeneous nucleation in first-order phase transitions. We study their implications for cosmological phase transitions and to the hadronization of a quark–gluon plasma generated in high-energy heavy ion collisions. Very general arguments allow us to show that...

Nonequilibrium relaxation analysis for first-order phase transitions

Ozeki, Yukiyasu; Kasono, Katsumi; Ito, Nobuyasu; … - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 321 (2003) 1, pp. 271-279

The nonequilibrium relaxation method is applied to first-order transition systems. Using the mixed-phase initialization, one can avoid the influence of the meta-stable states and the hysteresis phenomenon in the simulation. The transition point is estimated accurately on very large lattices. To...

First-order phase transition in cubic ice

Tanaka, Tomoyasu; Morita, Tohru - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 272 (1999) 3, pp. 555-562

First-order phase transition in cubic ice between the low-temperature phase VIII and the high-temperature phase VII is … direction of the dipole in the ordered phase. This large entropy difference seems to be the main reason for the first-order … phase transition in this system. …

Scaling of cluster fluctuations in two-dimensional q=5 and 7 state Potts models

Ortakaya, Burcu; Gündüç, Yiǧit; Aydın, Meral; … - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 242 (1997) 1, pp. 309-314

The scaling behavior of fluctuations in cluster size is studied in q=5 and 7 state Potts models. This quantity exhibits scaling behavior on small lattices where the scaling of local operators like energy fluctuations and Binder cumulant cannot be expected.
