    Universal Scaling Behavior of Non-Equilibrium Phase Transitions

    Universal scaling behavior of non-equilibrium phase transitions HABILITATIONSSCHRIFT der FakultÄat furÄ Naturwissenschaften der UniversitÄat Duisburg-Essen vorgelegt von Sven LubÄ eck aus Duisburg Duisburg, im Juni 2004 Zusammenfassung Kritische PhÄanomene im Nichtgleichgewicht sind seit Jahrzehnten Gegenstand inten- siver Forschungen. In Analogie zur Gleichgewichtsthermodynamik erlaubt das Konzept der UniversalitÄat, die verschiedenen NichtgleichgewichtsphasenubÄ ergÄange in unterschied- liche Klassen einzuordnen. Alle Systeme einer UniversalitÄatsklasse sind durch die glei- chen kritischen Exponenten gekennzeichnet, und die entsprechenden Skalenfunktionen werden in der NÄahe des kritischen Punktes identisch. WÄahrend aber die Exponenten zwischen verschiedenen UniversalitÄatsklassen sich hÄau¯g nur geringfugigÄ unterscheiden, weisen die Skalenfunktionen signi¯kante Unterschiede auf. Daher ermÄoglichen die uni- versellen Skalenfunktionen einerseits einen emp¯ndlichen und genauen Nachweis der UniversalitÄatsklasse eines Systems, demonstrieren aber andererseits in ubÄ erzeugender- weise die UniversalitÄat selbst. Bedauerlicherweise wird in der Literatur die Betrachtung der universellen Skalenfunktionen gegenubÄ er der Bestimmung der kritischen Exponen- ten hÄau¯g vernachlÄassigt. Im Mittelpunkt dieser Arbeit steht eine bestimmte Klasse von Nichtgleichgewichts- phasenubÄ ergÄangen, die sogenannten absorbierenden PhasenubÄ ergÄange. Absorbierende PhasenubÄ ergÄange beschreiben das kritische Verhalten von physikalischen, chemischen sowie biologischen
  • Three-Dimensional Phase Transitions in Multiflavor Lattice Scalar SO (Nc) Gauge Theories

    Three-Dimensional Phase Transitions in Multiflavor Lattice Scalar SO (Nc) Gauge Theories

    Three-dimensional phase transitions in multiflavor lattice scalar SO(Nc) gauge theories Claudio Bonati,1 Andrea Pelissetto,2 and Ettore Vicari1 1Dipartimento di Fisica dell’Universit`adi Pisa and INFN Largo Pontecorvo 3, I-56127 Pisa, Italy 2Dipartimento di Fisica dell’Universit`adi Roma Sapienza and INFN Sezione di Roma I, I-00185 Roma, Italy (Dated: January 1, 2021) We investigate the phase diagram and finite-temperature transitions of three-dimensional scalar SO(Nc) gauge theories with Nf ≥ 2 scalar flavors. These models are constructed starting from a maximally O(N)-symmetric multicomponent scalar model (N = NcNf ), whose symmetry is par- tially gauged to obtain an SO(Nc) gauge theory, with O(Nf ) or U(Nf ) global symmetry for Nc ≥ 3 or Nc = 2, respectively. These systems undergo finite-temperature transitions, where the global sym- metry is broken. Their nature is discussed using the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson (LGW) approach, based on a gauge-invariant order parameter, and the continuum scalar SO(Nc) gauge theory. The LGW approach predicts that the transition is of first order for Nf ≥ 3. For Nf = 2 the transition is predicted to be continuous: it belongs to the O(3) vector universality class for Nc = 2 and to the XY universality class for any Nc ≥ 3. We perform numerical simulations for Nc = 3 and Nf = 2, 3. The numerical results are in agreement with the LGW predictions. I. INTRODUCTION The global O(N) symmetry is partially gauged, obtain- ing a nonabelian gauge model, in which the fields belong to the coset SN /SO(N ), where SN = SO(N)/SO(N 1) Global and local gauge symmetries play a crucial role c − in theories describing fundamental interactions [1] and is the N-dimensional sphere.
  • Universal Scaling Behavior of Non-Equilibrium Phase Transitions

    Universal Scaling Behavior of Non-Equilibrium Phase Transitions

    Universal scaling behavior of non-equilibrium phase transitions Sven L¨ubeck Theoretische Physik, Univerit¨at Duisburg-Essen, 47048 Duisburg, Germany, [email protected] December 2004 arXiv:cond-mat/0501259v1 [cond-mat.stat-mech] 11 Jan 2005 Summary Non-equilibrium critical phenomena have attracted a lot of research interest in the recent decades. Similar to equilibrium critical phenomena, the concept of universality remains the major tool to order the great variety of non-equilibrium phase transitions systematically. All systems belonging to a given universality class share the same set of critical exponents, and certain scaling functions become identical near the critical point. It is known that the scaling functions vary more widely between different uni- versality classes than the exponents. Thus, universal scaling functions offer a sensitive and accurate test for a system’s universality class. On the other hand, universal scaling functions demonstrate the robustness of a given universality class impressively. Unfor- tunately, most studies focus on the determination of the critical exponents, neglecting the universal scaling functions. In this work a particular class of non-equilibrium critical phenomena is considered, the so-called absorbing phase transitions. Absorbing phase transitions are expected to occur in physical, chemical as well as biological systems, and a detailed introduc- tion is presented. The universal scaling behavior of two different universality classes is analyzed in detail, namely the directed percolation and the Manna universality class. Especially, directed percolation is the most common universality class of absorbing phase transitions. The presented picture gallery of universal scaling functions includes steady state, dynamical as well as finite size scaling functions.

    Electronic structure of full-shell InAs/Al hybrid semiconductor-superconductor nanowires: Spin-orbit coupling and topological phase space Benjamin D. Woods,1 Sankar Das Sarma,2 and Tudor D. Stanescu1, 2 1Department of Physics and Astronomy, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV 26506, USA 2Condensed Matter Theory Center and Joint Quantum Institute, Department of Physics, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland, 20742-4111, USA We study the electronic structure of full-shell superconductor-semiconductor nanowires, which have recently been proposed for creating Majorana zero modes, using an eight-band ~k · ~p model within a fully self-consistent Schrodinger-Poisson¨ scheme. We find that the spin-orbit coupling induced by the intrinsic radial electric field is generically weak for sub-bands with their minimum near the Fermi energy. Furthermore, we show that the chemical potential windows consistent with the emergence of a topological phase are small and sparse and can only be reached by fine tunning the diameter of the wire. These findings suggest that the parameter space consistent with the realization of a topological phase in full-shell InAs/Al nanowires is, at best, very narrow. Hybrid semiconductor-superconductor (SM-SC) nanowires butions) and ii) the electrostatic effects (by self-consistently have recently become the subject of intense research in the solving a Schrodinger-Poisson¨ problem). We note that these context of the quest for topological Majorana zero modes are crucial issues for the entire research field of SM-SC hy- (MZMs) [1,2]. Motivated by the promise of fault-tolerant brid nanostructures, but they have only recently started to be topological quantum computation [3,4] and following con- addressed, and only within single-orbital approaches [27–30].

From the topology of the configurations on a torus, we sample the superfluid stiff- ness ρs and the dimensionless wrapping probability R. From the finite-size scaling analyses of ρs and of R, we determine the critical points as Tc(XY) = 2.201 844 1(5) and Tc(Villain) = 0.333 067 04(7) and (t/U)c(BH) = 0.059 729 1(8), where T is the temperature for the classical models, and t and U are respec- tively the hopping and on-site interaction strength for the BH model.

Crossover Between Mean-Field and Ising Critical Behavior in a Lattice- Gas Reaction-Diffusion Model Abstract Lattice-gas models for CO oxidation can exhibit a discontinuous nonequilibrium transition between reactive and inactive states, which disappears above a critical CO-desorption rate. Using finite-size-scaling analysis, we demonstrate a crossover from Ising to mean-field behavior at the critical point, with increasing surface mobility of adsorbed CO or with decreasing system size. This behavior is elucidated by analogy with that of equilibrium Ising-type systems with long-range interactions.

The universal behaviour of the directed percolation universality class is well understood—both the critical scaling and the finite size scaling. This paper focuses on the block (finite size) scaling of the order parameter and its fluctuations, considering (sub-)blocks of linear size l in systems of linear size L. The scaling depends on the choice of the ensemble, as only the conditional ensemble produces the block-scaling behaviour as established in equilibrium critical phenomena. The dependence on the ensemble can be understood by an additional symmetry present in the unconditional ensemble. The unconventional scaling found in the unconditional ensemble is a reminder of the possibility that scaling functions themselves have a power-law dependence on their arguments.
