Exactly Soluble Ising Models On Hierarchical Lattices, Miron Kaufman, Robert B. Griffiths Jul 1981

Exactly Soluble Ising Models On Hierarchical Lattices, Miron Kaufman, Robert B. Griffiths

Miron Kaufman

Certain approximate renormalization-group recursion relations are exact for Ising models on special hierarchical lattices, as noted by Berker and Ostlund. These lattice models provide numerous examples of phase coexistence and critical points at finite temperatures, including cases of continuously varying critical exponents and phase transitions without phase coexistence. The lattices are, typically, quite inhomogeneous and may possess several inequivalent limits as infinite lattices.

Newtonian acceleration is considered in the light of special relativity theory with the result that the component of acceleration in the direction of an arbitrary applied force is always positive.(AIP)

The global phase diagram for a three-component lattice gas or spin-one Ising model with general single-site and nearest-neighbor "ferromagnetic" interactions is worked out for twodimensional lattices using a Migdal-Kadanoff recursion relation. It differs in important qualitative respects from the corresponding mean-field phase diagram. The set of fixed points and flows provides the characteristic'phase diagrams of the three-state Potts multicritical point and the ordinary (n =1) tricritical point in a complete set of symmetry-breaking fields. The latter is associated, in this renormalization-group scheme, with seven distinct critical fixed points, a number which is surprisingly large.

Pressure-induced high-temperature superconductivity is observed in semiconducting (SnxEu1-x)yMo6S8, where 0<~x<~0.1 and y=1.0 and 1.2, having a carrier concentration ≃1019/cm3 at 4.2 K as determined from Hall-effect measurements. Above a threshold pressure ≃7 kbar, superconductivity appears with dTc/dP≃2 K/kbar. The maximum superconducting temperature (Tc∼10 K), reached at ∼ 12 kbar, represents the highest pressure-induced Tc in any semiconductor. For P>~13 kbar, the temperature-dependent resistance appears metallic.
