Introduction to Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena
TL;DR: There has been a lot of experimental and theoretical work on the nature of critical phenomena in the neighbourhood of second order phase transitions as discussed by the authors, but it has not been easy to get a good overall view of this work without digging through the rather complex original literature, although there are some good review articles covering particular aspects of the work.

Abstract: H E Stanley Oxford: University Press 1971 pp xx + 308 price ?5 In the past fifteen years or so there has been a lot of experimental and theoretical work on the nature of critical phenomena in the neighbourhood of second order phase transitions. It has not been easy to get a good overall view of this work without digging through the rather complex original literature, although there are some good review articles covering particular aspects of the work.

Short-range ferromagnetism in alloy ribbons of Fe-Cr-Si-Nb-(Ag, Cu)
TL;DR: In this article, the magnetic properties of two amorphous alloy ribbons Fe72Cr6Si4Nb5B12Ag1 (FCSNB-Ag) and FCSNB-Cu (FCNBS-Cu) were studied by using a melt-spinning technique.
Protein solutions close to liquid–liquid phase separation exhibit a universal osmotic equation of state and dynamical behavior
TL;DR: In this paper , the extended law of corresponding states (ELCS) was used to rationalize not only the thermodynamics, but also the structure and dynamics of protein-protein interactions.

Chemical Potential Perturbation: A Method to Predict Chemical Potential Using Molecular Simulations
Stan G. Moore
- 01 Jan 2012
TL;DR: In this paper, a new method, called chemical potential perturbation (CPP), was developed to predict the chemical potential as a function of composition in molecular simulations. But this method is not suitable for simulations with a large number of points.

Emergent Quasi-Spin Anisotropy in Highly Frustrated Pseudobrookite $Fe_2TiO_5$
P. G. LaBarre,D. Phelan,Y. Xin,Feng Ye,T. Besara,Theo Siegrist,S. Rosenkranz,Arthur P. Ramirez +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the growth of a surfboard-shaped region of antiferromagnetically-correlated spins aligned perpendicular to the Ising axis was found to be the "quasi-spin" degrees of freedom that freeze.

A numerical investigation of the jamming transition in traffic flow on diluted planar networks
Gabriele Achler,Adriano Barra +1 more
TL;DR: This paper analyzes the transition among fluid regimes and a congested jammed phase of the flow of kinetically constrained hard spheres in planar random networks similar to urban roads to develop a toy model for car's traffic in cities.

Epidemic processes in complex networks
TL;DR: A coherent and comprehensive review of the vast research activity concerning epidemic processes is presented, detailing the successful theoretical approaches as well as making their limits and assumptions clear.
Classes of small-world networks
TL;DR: Evidence of the occurrence of three classes of small-world networks, characterized by a vertex connectivity distribution that decays as a power law law, and the nature of such constraints may be the controlling factor for the emergence of different classes of networks are presented.
Traffic and related self-driven many-particle systems
Dirk Helbing,Dirk Helbing +1 more
TL;DR: This article considers the empirical data and then reviews the main approaches to modeling pedestrian and vehicle traffic, including microscopic (particle-based), mesoscopic (gas-kinetic), and macroscopic (fluid-dynamic) models.

A simple model of global cascades on random networks
TL;DR: It is shown that heterogeneity plays an ambiguous role in determining a system's stability: increasingly heterogeneous thresholds make the system more vulnerable to global cascades; but anincreasingly heterogeneous degree distribution makes it less vulnerable.
Statistical physics of vehicular traffic and some related systems
TL;DR: In this paper, a critical review of particle-hopping models of vehicular traffic is presented, focusing on the results obtained mainly from the so-called "particle hopping" models, particularly emphasizing those formulated in recent years using the language of cellular automata.
