Beyond the usual ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases present in spin systems, the usual q-state clock model, presents an intermediate vortex state when the number of possible orientations q for the system is equal to 5 or larger. Such vortex states give rise to the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase present up to the XY model in the limit q→∞. Based on information theory, we present here an analysis of the classical order parameters plus new short-range parameters defined here. Thus, we show that even using the first nearest neighbors spin-spin correlations only, it is possible to distinguish the two transitions presented by this system for q greater than or equal to 5. Moreover, the appearance at relatively low temperature and disappearance of the BKT phase at a rather fix higher temperature is univocally determined by the short-range interactions recognized by the information content of classical and new parameters.

AbstractInvestigations of magnetically ordered phases on the femtosecond timescale have provided significant insights into the influence of charge and lattice degrees of freedom on the magnetic sub-system. However, short-range magnetic correlations occurring in the absence of long-range order, for example in spin-frustrated systems, are inaccessible to many ultrafast techniques. Here, we show how time-resolved resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (trRIXS) is capable of probing such short-ranged magnetic dynamics in a charge-transfer insulator through the detection of a Zhang–Rice singlet exciton. Utilizing trRIXS measurements at the O K-edge, and in combination with model calculations, we probe the short-range spin correlations in the frustrated spin chain material CuGeO3 following photo-excitation, revealing a strong coupling between the local lattice and spin sub-systems.

Critical behaviors in quenched random-spin systems with N-spin component are studied in the limit M → 0 of the non-random MN-component models by means of the renormalization group theory. As the static critical phenomena the stability of the fixed points is investigated and the critical exponents η[~ O(ε3); ε ≡ 4 – d], γ, α, and crossover index [Formula: see text] and the equation of state [~ O(ε)] are obtained. Within the approximation up to the order ε2, even the random-spin systems with N = 2 or 3 are unstable in the three dimensions and the pure systems are stable there.

An application of Fröhlich's general formula for the static dielectric constant is made to a material having a cubic arrangement of dipolar molecules, each of which has two equilibrium positions 180° apart and ordering forces of the short range type which tend to make nearest neighbors antiparallel. It is shown that such a model cannot lead to a sharp transition in dielectric constant unless changes in lattice dimensions occur. Qualitative comparison with certain experimental results is made.
