At a multicritical point the system belongs to a universality class different from the "normal" universality class. A more detailed definition requires concepts from the theory of critical phenomena, a branch of physics that reached a very satisfying state in the s.

Scaling relations and multicritical phenomena from Functional Renormalization Article in Physical Review E 91() March with 2 Reads How we measure 'reads'. Definitions Ψ: order parameter (e.g. ρ − ρ c / ρ c for the liquid–gas critical point, magnetization for the Curie point, etc.) τ: T − T c / T c: f: specific free energy: C: specific heat; −T ∂ 2 f / ∂T 2: J: source field (e.g.

P − P c / P c where P is the pressure and P c the critical pressure for the liquid-gas critical point, reduced chemical potential, the magnetic field. In many areas of physics, such as astrophysics, solid-state physics, nuclear physics and particle physics, a major outstanding problem is a better understanding of corre­ lation phenomena.

While in most cases the average properties of a system are rather well understood, the correlations and. Multicritical phenomena in O (n_ {1})⊕ O (n_ {2})-symmetric theories Article in Physical review. B, Condensed matter 67(5) February with 13 Reads.

Phase transitions and critical phenomena are treated according to the modern development of the field, based on the ideas of universality and on the Widom scaling theory.

For each topic, a mean-field or Landau theory is presented to describe qualitatively the phase transitions. the Griffiths-Landau theory for multicritical points in Format: Hardcover.

The second part of the book develops the parts of the theory of neutron scattering relevant to critical phenomena Finally, measurements on a number of key magnetic systems are reviewed to illustrate the current level of understanding the book presents a valuable brief overview of a large and complex subject".

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory of phase transitions and critical phenomena. The content covers a period of more than years of theoretical research of condensed matter phases and phase transitions providing a clear interrelationship with experimental problems.

Recent theoretical work has led to closed form expressions for the thermodynamic functions which characterize complicated multricritcal phenomeana. Renormalization group recursion relations are used to map multicritical systems out of the critical regime, at which point Landau theory with fluctuation corrections can be employed.

We review here applications of this Cited by: 2.Structural Phase Transitions II, like its predecessor (Topics in Current Physics, Vol.

23), presents selected methods and recent advances in the experimental investigation of phase transitions in solids. The two chapters in this volume deal with electron .In this book, each of these aspects will be illustrated schematically and in terms of physical examples, chosen from multicritical phenomena, quantum phase transition, spin glasses, relaxation, phase ordering and quantum dissipation.

A unique feature of this book is a unified and coherent discussion of magnetic phenomena, presented in a lucid.
