We prove that in the 2D Ising model with a weak bidimensional quasi-periodic disorder in the interaction, the critical behavior is the same as in the non-disordered case; that is, the critical exponents for the specific heat and energy-energy correlations are identical, and no logarithmic corrections are present. The disorder produces a quasi-periodic modulation of the amplitude of the correlations and a renormalization of the velocities, that is, the coefficients of the rescaling of positions, and of the critical temperature. The result establishes the validity of the prediction based on the Harris-Luck criterion, and it provides the first rigorous proof of universality in the Ising model in the presence of quasi-periodic disorder in both directions and for any angle. Small divisors are controlled assuming a Diophantine condition on the frequencies, and the convergence of the series is proved by Renormalization Group analysis.

ConspectusColloidal nanocrystals are an interesting platform for studying the surface chemistry of materials due to their high surface area/volume ratios, which results in a large fraction of surface atoms. As synthesized, the surfaces of many colloidal nanocrystals are capped by organic ligands that help control their size and shape. While these organic ligands are necessary in synthesis, it is often desirable to replace them with other molecules to enhance their properties or to integrate them into devices.

Magnetic semiconductors with spin-polarized non-metallic atoms are usually overlooked in applications because of their poor performances in magnetic moments and under critical temperatures. Herein, magnetic characteristics of 2D pentagon-based XN (X = B, Al, and Ga) are revealed based on first-principles calculations. It was proven that XN structures are antiferromagnetic semiconductors with bandgaps of 2.

Understanding the relation between cortical neuronal network structure and neuronal activity is a fundamental unresolved question in neuroscience, with implications to our understanding of the mechanism by which neuronal networks evolve over time, spontaneously or under stimulation. It requires a method for inferring the structure and composition of a network from neuronal activities. Tracking the evolution of networks and their changing functionality will provide invaluable insight into the occurrence of plasticity and the underlying learning process.

Effects of Temperature and Random Forces in Phase Transformation of Multi-Stable Systems.

Entropy (Basel)

Multi-stable behavior at the microscopic length-scale is fundamental for phase transformation phenomena observed in many materials. These phenomena can be driven not only by external mechanical forces but are also crucially influenced by disorder and thermal fluctuations. Disorder, arising from structural defects or fluctuations in external stimuli, disrupts the homogeneity of the material and can significantly alter the system's response, often leading to the suppression of cooperativity in the phase transition.

Perturbational Decomposition Analysis for Quantum Ising Model with Weak Transverse Fields.

Entropy (Basel)

December 2024

Institute of Quantum Precision Measurement, State Key Laboratory of Radio Frequency Heterogeneous Integration, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen 518060, China.

This work presents a perturbational decomposition method for simulating quantum evolution under the one-dimensional Ising model with both longitudinal and transverse fields. By treating the transverse field terms as perturbations in the expansion, our approach is particularly effective in systems with moderate longitudinal fields and weak to moderate transverse fields relative to the coupling strength. Through systematic numerical exploration, we characterize parameter regimes and evolution time windows where the decomposition achieves measurable improvements over conventional Trotter decomposition methods.
