Quantum and thermal noise in coupled non-Hermitian waveguide systems with different models of gain and loss by Hernández Osmery, Liberal Iñigo

“…At the same time, we identify some universal properties such as the occurrence of phase-transition points in parameter space and intriguing phenomena related to them, including coalescence of pairs of eigenvectors, gain–loss compensation, and linear scaling of the noise with the length of the waveguide. …”

The glass transition in molecules, colloids and grains: universality and specificity by Dauchot, Olivier, Ladieu, François, Royall, C. Patrick

“…We then review some experimental measurements which depend more specifically on the class of glassformer, such as the Gardner transition and some which have been investigated more in one or two classes than in all, such as configurational entropy and evidence for a dynamical phase transition. We finally put forward some open questions and consider what could be done to fill some of the gaps between theoretical approaches and experiments.…”

Interplay of chiral transitions in the standard model by Holger Gies, Richard Schmieden, Luca Zambelli

“…Varying the QCD scale relative to the Fermi scale we quantify the mutual impact of the symmetry-breaking mechanisms, specifically the departure from the second order quantum phase transition of the pure Yukawa sector in favor of a crossover upon the inclusion of the gauge interactions. …”

Statistical mechanics and machine learning of the α-Rényi ensemble by Andrew Jreissaty, Juan Carrasquilla

“…Remarkably, we find that while mean-field predicts a continuous phase transition below a threshold index value of α∼1.303 and a first-order transition above it, the Monte Carlo results in two dimensions point to a continuous transition at all α. …”

A Numerical Analysis Research on Earlier Behavior of Molten Droplet Covered with Vapor Film at the Stage of Triggering and Propagation in Steam Explosion by Mingjun Zhong, Yankai Li, Meng Lin, Minghao Yuan, Yanhua Yang

“…When the molten fuel with high temperature falls into the cavity water, it will be dispersed into droplets which are covered with vapor films due to the rapid heat transfer with phase transition. This situation cannot be simply described by liquid-liquid or gas-liquid systems. …”

Electronic structure formed by Y2O3-doping in lithium position assists improvement of charging-voltage for high-nickel cathodes by Shijie Wang, Kang Liang, Hongshun Zhao, Min Wu, Junfeng He, Peng Wei, Zhengping Ding, Jianbin Li, Xiaobing Huang, Yurong Ren

“…The modified strategy suppresses the generation of oxygen defects by regulating the local electronic structure, but more importantly, it reduces the concentration of highly reactive Ni4+ species during the charging state, thus avoiding the evolution of an unexpected phase transition. Strengthening the coupling strength between the lithium layers and transition metal layers finally realizes the fast-charging performance improvement and the cycling stability enhancement under high voltage.…”

Heat Capacity and Thermodynamic Property of Cesium Tetraborate Pentahydrate by Kangrui Sun, Kaiyu Zhao, Long Li, Yafei Guo, Tianlong Deng

“…It was found that there is no phase transition and thermal anomalies. The molar heat capacity of cesium tetraborate pentahydrate is fitted as Cp,m (J·mol−1·K−1) = 593.85705 + 48.0694[T − (Tmax + Tmin)/2]/(Tmax − Tmin)/2] + 24.86395[(T − (Tmax + Tmin)/2)/(Tmax − Tmin)/2]2 + 0.53077[(T − (Tmax + Tmin)/2)/(Tmax − Tmin)/2]3, and the relevant thermodynamic functions of enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy of cesium tetraborate pentahydrate are also obtained at intervals of 2 K from 303 to 349 K.…”

Curing Black Hole Singularities with Local Scale Invariance by Predrag Dominis Prester

“…The main conclusions of our analysis are as follows: (1) singularities signal a phase transition from broken to unbroken phase of Weyl symmetry; (2) instead of a singularity, there is a “baby universe” or a white hole inside a black hole; (3) in the baby universe scenario, there is a critical mass after which reducing mass makes the black hole larger as viewed by outside observers; (4) if a black hole could be connected with white hole through the “singularity,” this would require breakdown of (classical) geometric description; (5) the singularity of Schwarzschild BH solution is nongeneric and so it is dangerous to rely on it in deriving general results. …”

Non-Gaussianity from Particle Production during Inflation by Neil Barnaby

“…In a variety of models the motion of the inflaton may trigger the production of some non-inflaton particles during inflation, for example via parametric resonance or a phase transition. Such models have attracted interest recently for a variety of reasons, including the possibility of slowing the motion of the inflaton on a steep potential. …”
