The light scattering measurements that yield the osmotic susceptibility (χT) in a ternary liquid mixture of 3-methylpyridine+water+sodiumbromide are presented. The measurements have been performed in the one-phase region near the lower consolute points TL's of samples with different...

The phase diagram of an asymmetric N=3 Ashkin–Teller model is obtained by a numerical analysis which combines Monte Carlo renormalization group and reweighting techniques. Present results reveal several differences with those obtained by mean-field calculations and a Hamiltonian approach. In...

We present a conjecture on the exact location of the multicritical point of models of spin glasses on the two-dimensional square lattice using duality transformation. The results not only agree very well with numerical estimates but also conform excellently to the existing knowledge on annealed...
