An entropic approach to analyze phase transitions in the q = 3 Potts model
L. S. Ferreira, L. N. Jorge, C. J. DaSilva +1
Boltzmann's microcanonical entropy is the link between statistical physics and thermodynamics, forasmuch as the behavior of any thermodynamic quantity is directly related to the nu…
Thoroughly analysis of the phase diagram for the Bell-Lavis model: An entropic simulational study
L. S. Ferreira, L. N. Jorge, Cláudio J. DaSilva +1
In this work, we investigate the Bell-Lavis model using entropic simulations for several values of the energy parameters. The phase diagram and the ground state configur…
Unveiling phase transitions in 1D systems with short-range interactions
L. S. Ferreira, L. N. Jorge, Cláudio J. DaSilva +2
The statement that any phase transition is related to the appearance or disappearance of long-range spatial correlations precludes a finite transition temperature in one-dimensiona…
On the order of the phase transition in the spin-1 Baxter-Wu model
L. N. Jorge, L. S. Ferreira, A. A. Caparica
In this work we investigate the order of the phase transition of the spin-1 Baxter-Wu model. We used extensive entropic simulations to describe the behavior of quantities which rev…
The three-dimensional Baxter-Wu Model
L. N. Jorge, L. S. Ferreira, A. A. Caparica
A classic three-dimensional spin model, based upon the Baxter-Wu scheme, is presented. It is found, by entropic sampling simulations, that the behavior of the energy and magnetizat…
