Abstract We study the entanglement wedge cross-section (EWCS) in holographic massive gravity theory, in which a first and second-order phase transition can occur. We find that the mixed state entanglement measures, the EWCS and mutual information (MI) can characterize the phase transitions. The EWCS and MI show exactly the opposite behavior in the critical region, which suggests that the EWCS captures distinct degrees of freedom from that of the MI. More importantly, EWCS, MI and HEE all show the same scaling behavior in the critical region. We give an analytical understanding of this phenomenon. By comparing the quantum information behavior in the thermodynamic phase transition of holographic superconductors, we analyze the relationship and difference between them and provide two mechanisms of quantum information scaling behavior in the thermodynamic phase transition.

The phase structure of charged anti-de Sitter black hole in massive gravity is investigated using the unstable circular photon orbits formalism, concretely we establish a direct link between the null geodesics and the critical behavior thermodynamic of such black hole solution. Our analysis reveals that the radius and the impact parameter corresponding to the unstable circular orbits can be used to probe the thermodynamic phase structure. We also show that the latter are key quantities to characterize the order of Van der Waals-like phase transition. Namely, we found a critical exponent around [Formula: see text]. All these results support further that the photon trajectories can be used as a useful and crucial tool to probe the thermodynamic black holes criticality.

AbstractThe phase transition and thermodynamic geometry of a 4-dimensional AdS topological charged black hole in de Rham, Gabadadze and Tolley (dRGT) massive gravity have been studied. After introducing a normalized thermodynamic scalar curvature, it is speculated that its value is related to the interaction between the underlying black hole molecules if the black hole molecules exist. We show that there does exist a crucial parameter given in terms of the topology, charge, and massive parameters of the black hole, which characterizes the thermodynamic properties of the black hole. It is found that when the parameter is positive, the singlet large black hole phase does not exist for sufficient low temperature and there is a weak repulsive interaction dominating for the small black hole which is similar to the Reissner–Nordström AdS black hole; when the parameter is negative, an additional phase region describing large black holes also implies a dominant repulsive interaction. These constitute the distinguishable features of dRGT massive topological black hole from those of the Reissner–Nordström AdS black hole as well as the Van der Waals fluid system.

Ultraviolet laser-irradiation can be used to induce an insulator-to-conductor phase transition on the surface of Kapton polyimide. Such structures have potential applications as resistors or conductors for VLSI applications as well as general utility electrodes. Although the percolative nature of the phase transformation has been well-established, there has been little definitive work on the mechanism or extent of transformation. In particular, there has been considerable debate about whether or not the transition is primarily photothermal in nature, as we propose, or photochemical. In this study, cross-sectional optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy are utilized to characterize the nature of microstructural changes associated with the laser-induced pyrolysis of polyimide.Laser-modified polyimide samples initially 12 μm thick were prepared in cross-section by standard ultramicrotomy. Resulting contraction in parallel to the film surface has led to distortions in apparent magnification. The scale bars shown are calibrated for the direction normal to the film surface only.

Through in-situ, high-pressure x-ray diffraction experiments we have shown that the homoleptic perovskite-like coordination polymer [(CH3)2NH2]Cu(HCOO)3 undergoes a pressure-induced orbital reordering phase transition above 5.20 GPa. This transition is distinct...

Thermodynamical properties of nuclear matter are studied in the framework of an effective many-body field theory at finite temperature, considering the Sommerfeld approximation. We perform the calculations by using the nonlinear Boguta and Bodmer model, extended by the inclusion of the fundamental baryon octet and leptonic degrees of freedom. Trapped neutrinos are also included in order to describe protoneutron star properties through the integration of the Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff equations, from which we obtain, beyond the standard relations for the masses and radii of protoneutron stars as functions of the central density, new results of these quantities as functions of temperature. Our predictions include: the determination of an absolute value for the limiting mass of protoneutron stars; new structural aspects on the nuclear matter phase transition via the behavior of the specific heat and, through the inclusion of quark degrees of freedom, the properties of a hadron-quark phase transition and hybrid protoneutron stars

We investigate thermodynamics of the BTZ black hole in new massive gravity explicitly. Form2l2>1/2withm2being the mass parameter of fourth-order terms andl2AdS3curvature radius, the Hawking-Page phase transition occurs between the BTZ black hole and AdS (thermal) soliton. Form2l2<1/2, however, this transition unlikely occurs but a phase transition between the BTZ black hole and the massless BTZ black hole is possible to occur. We may call the latter the inverse Hawking-Page phase transition and this transition is favored in the new massive gravity.

The information theoretic concepts are crucial to study the quantum mechanical systems. In this paper, the information densities of [Formula: see text]-symmetric potential have been demonstrated and their properties deeply analyzed. The position space and momentum space information entropy is obtained and Bialynicki-Birula–Mycielski inequality is saturated for different parameters of the potential. Some interesting features of information entropy have been discussed. The variation in these entropies is described which gets saturated for specific values of the parameter. These have also been analyzed for the [Formula: see text]-symmetry breaking case. Further, the entropy squeezing phenomenon has been investigated in position space as well as momentum space. Interestingly, [Formula: see text] phase transition conjectures the entropy squeezing in position space and momentum space.
