Mean-field theory for quantum spin chains
Mylène Martirosyan, Astrid Monin-Baroille, Leïla Moueddene +2
Mean-field theory is a widely used approximation for describing phase transitions, particularly effective above the upper critical dimension. Its origins can be traced back to the…
Phase transition properties via partition function zeros: The Blume-Capel ferromagnet revisited
Leïla Moueddene, Nikolaos G Fytas, Bertrand Berche
Since the landmark work of Lee and Yang, locating the zeros of the partition function in the complex magnetic-field plane has become a powerful method for studying phase transition…
Critical and tricritical behavior of the Blume-Capel model: Results from small-scale Monte Carlo simulations
Leïla Moueddene, Nikolaos G. Fytas, Bertrand Berche
We investigate the location of the critical and tricritical points of the three-dimensional Blume-Capel model by analyzing the behavior of the first Lee-Yang zero, the density of p…
Differential geometry, a possible avenue for thermal ablation in oncology?
Andy Manapany, Loriane Didier, Leïla Moueddene +2
We report a model for hyperthermia therapies based on heat diffusion in a biological tissue containing a topological defect. Biological tissues behave like active liquid crystals w…
Ralph Kenna's scaling relations in critical phenomena
Leïla Moueddene, Arnaldo Donoso, Bertrand Berche
In this note, we revisit the scaling relations among ``hatted critical exponents'' which were first derived by Ralph Kenna, Des Johnston and Wolfhard Janke, and we propose an alter…
Diffusion in the presence of a chiral topological defect
Andy Manapany, Leila Moueddene, Bertrand Berche +1
We study the diffusion processes of a real scalar field in the presence of the distorsion field induced by a chiral topological defect. The defect modifies the usual Euclidean back…
