  2. Potts model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potts_model

    For example, for the standard ferromagnetic Potts model in , a phase transition exists for all real values , [7] with the critical point at = ⁡ (+). The phase transition is continuous (second order) for 1 ≤ q ≤ 4 {\displaystyle 1\leq q\leq 4} [ 8 ] and discontinuous (first order) for q > 4 {\displaystyle q>4} .

  3. Angular momentum coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_momentum_coupling

    In atomic physics, spin–orbit coupling, also known as spin-pairing, describes a weak magnetic interaction, or coupling, of the particle spin and the orbital motion of this particle, e.g. the electron spin and its motion around an atomic nucleus. One of its effects is to separate the energy of internal states of the atom, e.g. spin-aligned and ...

  4. Spin structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_structure

    If H 2 (M,Z 2) vanishes, M is spin. For example, S n is spin for all . (Note that S 2 is also spin, but for different reasons; see below.) The complex projective plane CP 2 is not spin. More generally, all even-dimensional complex projective spaces CP 2n are not spin. All odd-dimensional complex projective spaces CP 2n+1 are spin.

  5. AKLT model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AKLT_model

    In condensed matter physics, an AKLT model, also known as an Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki model is an extension of the one-dimensional quantum Heisenberg spin model.The proposal and exact solution of this model by Ian Affleck, Elliott H. Lieb, Tom Kennedy and Hal Tasaki [] [1] provided crucial insight into the physics of the spin-1 Heisenberg chain.

  6. Spin (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_(physics)

    Spin is an intrinsic form of angular momentum carried by elementary particles, and thus by composite particles such as hadrons, atomic nuclei, and atoms. [1] [2]: 183–184 Spin is quantized, and accurate models for the interaction with spin require relativistic quantum mechanics or quantum field theory.

  7. Spin network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_network

    Spin network diagram, after Penrose In physics , a spin network is a type of diagram which can be used to represent states and interactions between particles and fields in quantum mechanics . From a mathematical perspective, the diagrams are a concise way to represent multilinear functions and functions between representations of matrix groups .

  8. Solid solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_solution

    a solid solution mixes with others to form a new solution The phase diagram in the above diagram displays an alloy of two metals which forms a solid solution at all relative concentrations of the two species. In this case, the pure phase of each element is of the same crystal structure, and the similar properties of the two elements allow for ...

  9. Classical XY model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_XY_model

    The existence of the thermodynamic limit for the free energy and spin correlations were proved by Ginibre, extending to this case the Griffiths inequality. [3]Using the Griffiths inequality in the formulation of Ginibre, Aizenman and Simon [4] proved that the two point spin correlation of the ferromagnetics XY model in dimension D, coupling J > 0 and inverse temperature β is dominated by (i.e ...
