Green Function Approach

Abstract By applying two-time thermal dependent Zuberav’s statistical, retarded Green function approach and modified earlier simple PLCM model Hamiltonian by adding some extra terms into it, like third-order and fourth-order, phonon anharmonic interactions, direct spin-spin terms, extra spin-lattice terms, and four body interaction terms, for theoretical investigation of thermal dependent spontaneous polarization and ferroelectric phase transition in the first-order phase, of RbH2AsO4crystal. It undergoes a ferroelectric phase transition at 109.9K. With the help of Dyson’s equation in the Mean-Field Approximation (MFA), theoretical formulae are obtained for electrical permittivity, tangent delta, Cochran’s mode frequency, spontaneous polarization, and response function. Model values are fitted for the above physical parameters to obtain variations with temperature. A comparison of theoretical finding has been made with the experimental finding reported by Blinc et al [12], and Zolototrubov et al[8].

First Order

Following Aharony et al., we analyze the deconfining phase transition in a SU(∞) gauge theory in mean field approximation. The Gross–Witten model emerges as an "ultra"-critical point for deconfinement: while thermodynamically of first order, masses vanish, asymmetrically, at the transition. Potentials for N = 3 are also shown.

Hybrid Stars

We compute models for the equation of state (EoS) of the matter in the cores of hybrid stars. Hadronic matter is treated in the non-linear relativistic mean-field approximation, and quark matter is modeled by three-flavor local and non-local Nambu−Jona-Lasinio (NJL) models with repulsive vector interactions. The transition from hadronic to quark matter is constructed by considering either a soft phase transition (Gibbs construction) or a sharp phase transition (Maxwell construction). We find that high-mass neutron stars with masses up to [Formula: see text] may contain a mixed phase with hadrons and quarks in their cores, if global charge conservation is imposed via the Gibbs conditions. However, if the Maxwell conditions is considered, the appearance of a pure quark matter core either destabilizes the star immediately (commonly for non-local NJL models) or leads to a very short hybrid star branch in the mass-radius relation (generally for local NJL models).

The Stability

ABSTRACTThe magnetic and structural properties of MnAs are investigated by mapping ab initio total energies onto a Heisenberg Hamiltonian. We study the dependence of the Curie temperature over the unit cell volume and an orthorhombic distortion by using the mean field approximation, and find that for orthorhombically distorted cells the Curie temperature is much smaller than for hexagonal cells. We provide an explanation for the structural changes of both the first order phase transition at 318 K and the second order phase transition at 400 K, with the cell volume driving the stability of the different structures in the paramagnetic state. The stable cell is found to be orthorhombic up to a critical lattice constant of about 3.7 Å, above which it remains hexagonal.

Shape Changes

The intrinsic quadrupole deformation has been calculated at finite temperature in 20 Ne both in the mean-field approximation and using an exact shell model diagonalization. The results support the view that the phase transition seen at finite temperature in mean-field calculations is not due to the change in nuclear shape from deformed to spherical, but rather is a collective-to-non-collective transition. Both calculations indicate that the average deformation of 20 Ne changes from β rms ≈0.31 at zero temperature to just over β rms =0.2 at T=3.0 MeV. The calculations also suggest that, in the mean-field approximation, the square of the quadrupole operator, Q[2]·Q[2], is a better indicator of shape changes than Q[2] itself.

Nucleon Matter

We study the effects of the scalar-isovector light mesons on the isospin asymmetry and phase transition of hadronic matter to hadronic matter with a condensate of antikaons, using an effective model with derivative couplings. In our formalism, nucleons interact through the exchange of σ, ω, ϱ, δ, and ς mesons in the presence of electrons and muons to accomplish electric charge neutrality and beta equilibrium. The phase transition to the antikaons condensate was implemented through the Gibbs conditions combined with the mean-field approximation, giving rise to a mixed phase of coexistence between nucleon matter and the condensed antikaons. As expected, our results indicate that the scalar-isovector mesons increase the range of the mixed phase–space, they operate for restoring isospin symmetry and they reduce the value of the effective nucleon mass, independently of the depth of the optical potential for antikaons. Also as expected the increase of the depth of optical potential favors the population of antikaons. Our results predict the density threshold of birth of the K-antikaons. The most expressive result of our calculation is the abrupt change in the isospin asymmetry due to the presence of the condensate. Moreover, we have found that scalar-isovector mesons increase the fraction of protons and reduced the fraction of neutrons in the system, since these mesons couple with the conserved isovector current of baryons and thus the minimum in the energy of the system corresponds to saturated isospin states (symmetric in isospin). Finally, we have found as expected that these mesons produce the stiffness of the EoS.

We study the effects of the scalar-isovector meson δ and those of a new light scalar-isovector resonance ς on the phase transition of hadronic matter to hadronic matter with a condensate of antikaons, using an effective model with derivative couplings. In our formalism, nucleons interact through the exchange of σ, ω, ϱ, δ, and ς mesons in the presence of electrons and muons to accomplish electric charge neutrality and beta equilibrium. The phase-transition to the antikaon condensate was implemented through the Gibbs conditions combined with the mean-field approximation, giving rise to a mixed phase of coexistence between nucleon matter and the condensed antikaons. Scalar-isovector mesons operate for restoring isospin symmetry and reduce this way the value of the effective nucleon mass, independent of the depth of the optical potential for antikaons. Moreover, as expected we found that an increase of the depth of optical potential favors the population of antikaons. Finally, assuming neutrino-free matter, we observe a rapid decrease of the electron chemical potential produced by the gradual substitution of electrons by kaons to accomplish electric charge neutrality.
