Tilted Magnetic Field

In this paper, we discuss the role of material parameters and external field effects on a thin film topological insulator(TI) in the context of quantum phase transition (QPT). First, we consider an in-plane tilted magnetic field and determine the band structure of the surface states as a function of the tilt angle. We show that the presence of either a hybridization term or hexagonal warping or a combination of both leads to a semi-metal to insulator phase transition which is facilitated by their [Formula: see text] symmetry breaking character. We then note that while the introduction of an electric field does not allow for this QPT since it does not break [Formula: see text] symmetry, it can be used in conjunction with a tunneling element to reach a phase transition efficiently. The corresponding critical point is then nontrivially dependent on the electric field, which is pointed out here. Then, we demonstrate that including a hexagonal warping term leads to an immediate [Formula: see text] symmetry violating QPT.

We applied a perpendicular electric field and an in-plane magnetic field to not only tune the Dirac gap of a SnTe(001) thin film and find the phase transition but also to investigate their effects on the group velocity of both massless and massive surface Dirac fermions.

AbstractThe main purpose of the experiment was a thermodynamic research with use of the electric methods chosen. The substance examined was olive oil. The paper presents the resistance, capacitive reactance, relative permittivity and resistivity of olive. Compression was applied with two mean velocities up to 450 MPa. The results were shown as functions of pressure and time and depicted on the impedance phase diagram. The three first order phase transitions have been detected. All the changes in material parameters were observed during phase transitions. The material parameters measured turned out to be the much more sensitive long-time phase transition factors than temperature. The values of material parameters and their dependence on pressure and time were compared with the molecular structure, arrangement of molecules and interactions between them. Knowledge about olive oil parameters change with pressure and its phase transitions is very important for olive oil production and conservation.

Significant 1H upfield chemical shifts of the guests in the capsules are consequences of polarizability of chalcogens, electric field effects and peripheral chains. The effects of the electric field and of magnetic field are of equal importance.

Thermotropic Properties

In this work, the effect of thin films on the thermotropic and thermo-optical properties and peculiarities of the phase transitions between the smectic A and isotropic liquid have been investigated. Peculiarities of the heterophase regions of the straight smectic A-isotropic liquid and reverse isotropic liquid-smectic A phase transitions have been studied. Change of morphologic properties of the heterophase regions, shift of the phase transition temperatures and the change of temperature widths of these heterophase regions under thin film influence have been observed.

Behavior of quasi-one-dimensional multiferoic Ca3CoMnO6 in external magnetic field was investigated. Modelling by Monte Carlo method was performed to show influence of external magnetic field on appearance of polarization and temperature of phase transition in electric subsystem. Magnetization, polarization and energy components for magnetic and electric subsystems dependencies were achieved for different values of external magnetic field. Modelling showed that periodic potential in form of Frenkel-Kontorova makes influence on maximal values and temperature of phase transitions for magnetization and polarization.

ABSTRACTTo enhance a global critical current in a superconductor, it is indispensable to understand current limiting factors and their influence on such a critical current. From this point of view, we have investigated in-plane distribution of local critical current density and its electric field criterion in a thin-film superconductor by using scanning-Hall probe microscopy. In a remanent state, after the application of sufficiently high magnetic field to a sample, current flows at critical current density according to the critical state model. Such distribution of current density was estimated from that of measured magnetic field using the Biot-Savart law. Furthermore, the corresponding electric field criterion was evaluated from the relaxation of such remanent magnetic field by considering Faraday’s law. This means that we could estimate in-plane distribution of local critical current density as a function of electric field criterion in a nondestructive manner. This characterization method would be very helpful for finding current limiting factors in a thin-film superconductor and their influence on its global current density versus electric field properties which would usually be obtained by four-probe method.

We have applied a generalized mean-field approach and quantum Monte-Carlo technique for the model 2D S = 1 (pseudo)spin system to find the ground state phase with its evolution under application of the (pseudo)magnetic field. The comparison of the two methods allows us to clearly demonstrate the role of quantum effects. Special attention is given to the role played by an effective single-ion anisotropy ("on-site correlation").
