Interacting many-particle systems may undergo phase transitions and exhibit critical phenomena in the limit of infinite system size, while the precursors of these phenomena are studied in the theory of finite-size scaling. After surveying the basic notions of phases, phase diagrams, and phase transitions, this chapter focuses on critical behaviour at a second-order phase transition. The Landau-Ginzburg theory and the concept of scaling prepare readers for an elementary introduction to the concepts of the renormalization group, followed by an introduction into the field of quantum phase transitions where quantum fluctuations take over the role of thermal fluctuations.

We have studied the three-dimensional Ising spin glass with a ± J distribution by Monte Carlo simulations. Using larger sizes and much better statistics than in earlier work, a finite size scaling analysis shows quite strong evidence for a finite transition temperature, Tc, with ordering below Tc. Our estimate of the transition temperature is rather lower than in earlier work, and the value of the correlation length exponent, ν, is somewhat higher. Because there may be (unknown) corrections to finite size scaling, we do not completely rule out the possibility that Tc = 0 or that Tc is finite but with no order below Tc. However, from our data, these possibilities seem less likely.
