Specifically, leakage current and threshold voltage do not scale with size, and so the power density increases with scaling. This eventually led to a power density that is too high. This is the "power wall", which caused Intel to cancel Tejas and Jayhawk in 2004. [9] Since around 2005–2007 Dennard scaling appears to have broken down.
Critical phenomena include scaling relations among different quantities, power-law divergences of some quantities (such as the magnetic susceptibility in the ferromagnetic phase transition) described by critical exponents, universality, fractal behaviour, and ergodicity breaking.
From the quantum field theory point of view, the critical exponents can be expressed in terms of scaling dimensions of the local operators ,, ′ of the conformal field theory describing the phase transition [1] (In the Ginzburg–Landau description, these are the operators normally called ,,.) These expressions are given in the last column of ...
Close enough to the critical point, everything can be reexpressed in terms of certain ratios of the powers of the reduced quantities. These are the scaling functions. The origin of scaling functions can be seen from the renormalization group. The critical point is an infrared fixed point. In a sufficiently small neighborhood of the critical ...
The term "dynamic scaling" as one of the essential concepts to describe the dynamics of critical phenomena seems to originate in the seminal paper of Pierre Hohenberg and Bertrand Halperin (1977), namely they suggested "[...] that the wave vector- and frequency dependent susceptibility of a ferromagnet near its Curie point may be expressed as a function independent of | | provided that the ...

Percolation clusters become self-similar precisely at the threshold density for sufficiently large length scales, entailing the following asymptotic power laws: . The fractal dimension relates how the mass of the incipient infinite cluster depends on the radius or another length measure, () at = and for large probe sizes, .
The idea of scale transformations and scale invariance is old in physics: Scaling arguments were commonplace for the Pythagorean school, Euclid, and up to Galileo. [1] They became popular again at the end of the 19th century, perhaps the first example being the idea of enhanced viscosity of Osborne Reynolds, as a way to explain turbulence.
