Universal scaling behavior at the upper critical dimension of non-equilibrium continuous phase transitions

arXiv:cond-mat/0307353 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.90.230601

Abstract

In this work we analyze the universal scaling functions and the critical exponents at the upper critical dimension of a continuous phase transition. The consideration of the universal scaling behavior yields a decisive check of the value of the upper critical dimension. We apply our method to a non-equilibrium continuous phase transition. But focusing on the equation of state of the phase transition it is easy to extend our analysis to all equilibrium and non-equilibrium phase transitions observed numerically or experimentally.
