Field-selective criticality in 2D melting revealed by multi-field Lee-Yang zeros
Ling Liu, Fang-Cheng Wang, Qi-Jun Ye +1
How a two-dimensional solid melts remains unsettled after 60 years of study, as theory, model systems, simulations, and atomic-resolution experiments continue to suggest conflictin…

Tracking metastable phases by complex Lee-Yang zeros
Yi-Hua Dong, Ling Liu, Fang-Cheng Wang +2
Metastable phases (MPs) are energetically unfavorable states typically suppressed in equilibrium phase diagrams. Rather than remaining ''hidden'', we show that they exist in the co…
