Spontaneous symmetry breaking in amnestically induced persistence
Marco Antonio Alves da Silva, A. S. Ferreira, G. M. Viswanathan +1
We investigate a recently proposed non-Markovian random walk model characterized by loss of memories of the recent past and amnestically induced persistence. We report numerical an…
First order quantum phase transitions
M. A. Continentino, A. S. Ferreira
Quantum phase transitions have been the subject of intense investigations in the last two decades [1]. Among other problems, these phase transitions are relevant in the study of he…
Solid state Pomeranchuk effect
M. A. Continentino, A. S. Ferreira, P. G. Pagliuso +2
Recently we have shown that and related compounds present a solid state Pomeranchuk effect. These systems have a first order volume transition where a local moment phase…
Stochastic Modelling Approach to the Incubation Time of Prionic Diseases
A. S. Ferreira, M. A. A. da Silva, J. C. Cressoni
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies like the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans are neurodegenerative diseases for which…
