X-Ray Scattering at FeCo(001) Surfaces and the Crossover between Ordinary and Normal Transitions

Uwe Ritschel

In a recent experiment by Krimmel et al. [PRL 78, 3880 (1997)], the critical behavior of FeCo near a (001) surface was studied by x-ray scattering. Here the experimental data are r…

Casimir Forces at Tricritical Points: Theory and Possible Experiments

Uwe Ritschel, Markus Gerwinski

Using field-theoretical methods and exploiting conformal invariance, we study Casimir forces at tricritical points exerted by long-range fluctuations of the order-parameter field.…

Critical Adsorption in Systems with Weak Surface Field: The Renormalization-Group Approach

A. Ciach, U. Ritschel

We study the surface critical behavior of semi-infinite systems belonging to the bulk universality class of the Ising model. Special attention is paid to the local behavior of expe…

Comment on ``Generalized Dynamic Scaling for Critical Relaxation" [Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 679 (1996), cond-mat/9607013]

U. Ritschel, P. Czerner

We point out that in nonequilibrium relaxational processes the magnetic field of the initial state (instead of the initial magnetization) has to be considered as the additional sca…

Near-Surface Long-Range Order at the Ordinary Transition: Scaling Analysis and Monte Carlo Results

P. Czerner, U. Ritschel

Motivated by recent experimental activities on surface critical phenomena, we present a detailed theoretical study of the near-surface behavior of the local order parameter m(z) in…

Microscopic Non-Universality versus Macroscopic Universality in Algorithms for Critical Dynamics

U. Ritschel, P. Czerner

We study relaxation processes in spin systems near criticality after a quench from a high-temperature initial state. Special attention is paid to the stage where universal behavior…
