Two-Dimensional Phase Transitions in Classical Systems: 60 Years after the Hohenberg-Mermin-Wagner Theorem
Ruijian Zhu, Yanting Wang
In 1966, Hohenberg, Mermin and Wagner proved that long-wavelength fluctuations destabilize the long-range order of continuous symmetry in two-dimensional (2D) systems. Later in the…
Universal scaling laws for dynamical-thermal hysteresis
Yachao Sun, Xuesong Li, Yanting Wang +3
Dynamic hysteresis, the rate-dependent lagged response of materials to external fields, underpins applications from energy-efficient transformers to gas storage systems. A fundamen…
Shape-Determined Kinetic Pathways in 2D Solid-Solid Phase Transitions
Ruijian Zhu, Yi Peng, Yanting Wang
Solid-solid phase transitions are ubiquitous in nature, but the kinetic pathway of anisotropic particle systems remains elusive, where the coupling between translational and rotati…
Phase transitions in voting simulated by an intelligent Ising model
Guanyu Xu, Jiahang Chen, Xin Zhou +1
Voting is an important social activity for expressing public opinions. By conceptually considering a group of voting agents to be intelligent matter, the impact of real-time inform…
