Exploring transition pathways in the Landau-Brazovskii model
Zhiyi Zhang, Gang Cui, Kai Jiang +4
The Landau-Brazovskii model provides a theoretical framework for describing various phases arising from competing short- and long-range interactions in many physical systems. In th…

Designing a minimal Landau theory to stabilize desired quasicrystals
Wei Si, Shifeng Li, Pingwen Zhang +2
Interparticle interactions with multiple length scales play a pivotal role in the formation and stability of quasicrystals. Choosing a minimal set of length scales to stabilize a g…

Nucleation and phase transition of decagonal quasicrystals
Tiejun Zhou, Lei Zhang, Pingwen Zhang +2
In this work, we study the nucleation of quasicrystals from liquid or periodic crystals by developing an efficient order-order phase transition algorithm, namely the nullspace-pres…
