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.

Magnetic Phase Transition of[Fe/Au]Multilayers with an Ultra-thin Fe Layer
TL;DR: In this paper, the magnetic phase transition of [m ML Fe/12.5 ML Au] 20 (m=0.7, 0.9, 1.1) multilayers was investigated.

A.K. Kanyuka,V. S. Glukhov +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the first non-vanishing derivatives of the Gibbs potential were considered in the branch point of the zero-field curve and the order parameter and the correlation parameter were obtained of the sixth order.

Estimation of the Spontaneous Magnetization and the Magnetic Entropy Change in Gd3Ni2 and Gd3CoNi Systems using the Landau Theory
TL;DR: In this paper, the mean field theory (MFT) was used to estimate the spontaneous magnetization Mspont(T) from the dependence of magnetic entropy change on magnetization, and an excellent agreement has been found between the $$- \Delta S_{M}$$ values estimated by Landau theory and those obtained using the classical Maxwell relation.

Spectra of negative particles in Au+Au collisions from BES-I at RHIC and z-scaling
TL;DR: In this article, negative particle yields in Au + Au collisions obtained by the STAR Collaboration from BES-I at RHIC are analyzed in the framework of the z- scaling approach.

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.
