Short-time dynamics in phase-ordering kinetics
Leila Moueddene, Malte Henkel
Short-time dynamics in the Blume-Capel model, with a non-conserved order-parameter and short-ranged interactions, is analysed. For non-equilibrium dynamics, both at a critical…
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…
