The internal energy and the order parameter of three-state Potts model in a simple cubic lattice are calculated using Monte Carlo technique. Both properties exhibit metastabilities small temperature region demonstrating that phase transition is first order. This result agreement with prediction $\ensuremath{\epsilon}$ expansion but contrast to position-space renormalization-group calculations which lead continuous transition.
Aqueous nitrate, NO3(-)(aq), was studied by 2D-IR, UV-IR, and UV-UV time-resolved spectroscopies in combination with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations the purpose of determining hydration around anion. In water, D3h symmetry NO3(-) is broken, degeneracy asymmetric-stretch modes lifted. This provides a very sensitive probe ion-water interactions. The 2D-IR measurements reveal excitation exchange between two nondegenerate vibrations on 300-fs time scale concomitant fast anisotropy decay...

ESR spectra of KClO4 crystals irradiated with x rays at 10 and 26°K contain three “families” intense signals. The signals are assumed to derive from primary defects constituted by electrons holes trapped on ClO4− ions. families assigned the species ClO4=, ClO4, (ClO4)2−, each in a number distinct sites. ClO4= ClO4 appear be stabilized intraionic configuration change, whereas interionic change may stabilize (ClO4)2−. Thermal processes starting 30°K result formation secondary O3− ClO2 destruction
Accurate spin Hamiltonians for one paramagnetic center in irradiated KClO4 are derived from ESR spectra at five temperatures the range −170° to 0°C. The quadrupole interaction gives rise ``forbidden'' transitions of high intensity. An iterative procedure is used computation principal values g tensor as well tensors magnetic and electric hyperfine interaction. Comparison low-temperature Hamiltonian with that microwave free ClO2 molecule demonstrates adequately described terms a trapped...

Since is sensitive nucleon resonances insensitive Δ resonance, it expected that pair should provide benchmark tests current understanding chiral dynamics QCD. new results on show significant disagreement with perturbation theory calculations, while data at low are good agreement next-to-leading-order relativistic baryon calculation. phenomenological...
The critical behavior of a three-dimensional antiferromagnet described by six-dimensional order parameter has been investigated the Monte Carlo technique. A first-order phase transition is observed. This result in agreement with prediction renormalization-group calculations $4\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\epsilon}$ dimensions and neutron scattering experiments on U${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$, but contrast to mean-field theory, which leads second-order transition.

The Ising model considered by von Boehm and Bak [Phys. Rev. Lett. 42, 122 (1979)] is studied in a spin-\textonehalf{} version with the spins arrayed on simple cubic lattice. uniaxial ferromagnetic interaction between nearest-neighbor $\mathrm{xy}$ planes competing interactions next-nearest-neighbor $z$ direction. phase transitions of are mean-field Monte Carlo calculations for same set parameters as chosen Bak. suggest that wave vector $q$, function temperature, picks up every rational...
Hydrogen bonds involving the methyl group have been studied by topological analysis of electron density derived from quantum mechanical geometry-optimized structures selected molecules/ions. The results indicate that hydrogen-bond formation not only depends on distance to proton acceptor, X, but also angle CH···X. species investigated suggest should be bigger than about 100° for formation.
Certain physical systems are expected classically to exhibit second-order phase transitions but known have first-order within the renormalization-group approach because no stable fixed point exists. This lack of points is caused by fluctuations in order parameter and depends only upon symmetry system. When a symmetry-breaking field applied may emerge continuous transition becomes possible. We studied this crossover from three different approaches. Our model has cubic magnetic ground state...

A molecular-dynamics experiment is used to derive free-induction-decay curves for a rigid cubic lattice with 216 classical spins coupled by magnetic dipole interaction. Free-induction-decay are obtained the field along [100], [110], and [111] axes of lattice. The shapes these compared derived from expansion theory Gade Lowe based on Abragam's trial function. considerable difference found between predictions our experiments, whereas functions reproduce experiments quite well except long...
A molecular theory of diffusion constants in liquids, independent model, is developed the language time-dependent correlation functions and statistical projection operators. Diffusion are related to friction which turn depend upon force autocorrelation with a time dependence arising from Liouville operator projected orthogonally momentum. The resulting expressions those previously obtained ``projected'' connected dissipation momentum, i.e., considered by Kirkwood. influence translations on...

In limit ${J}_{2}=0$ exhibits first-order transition. transition remains first order for $\frac{{J}_{4}}{{J}_{2}}\ensuremath{\gtrsim}\frac{1}{2}$, but crossover continuous found around $\frac{{J}_{4}}{{J}_{2}}\ensuremath{\approx}\frac{1}{4}\ensuremath{-}\frac{1}{2}$ indicating that...
