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.

The QCD critical point: an exciting Odyssey in the Femto-world
TL;DR: A brief overview of the theoretical and experimental attempts to find the critical point in the phase diagram of QCD can be found in this paper, where a lattice QCD is defined on a discrete space-time lattice.
Structural stability of interaction networks against negative external fields.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore structural stability of weighted and unweighted networks of positively interacting agents against a negative external field and develop a method based on statistical analysis of the $k$-core organization and so-called ''corona'' clusters belonging to the $ k$-cores.
Thermoacoustic transport in supercritical fluids at near-critical and near-pseudo-critical states
Nusair Hasan,Bakhtier Farouk +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a real-fluid computational fluid dynamic model has been developed considering all of the relevant fluid property variations (including bulk viscosity) near the critical and pseudo-critical states.

Dylan Lovinger,Eli Zoghlin,Peter Kissin,G. H. Ahn,Kaveh Ahadi,P. Kim,M. Poore,Susanne Stemmer,S. J. Moon,Stephen D. Wilson,Richard D. Averitt +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a single crystal Mott-Hubbard insulator with a ferrimagnetic and orbitally ordered ground state was investigated using ultrafast optical pump-probe reflectivity and magneto-optical Kerr spectroscopy.

TL;DR: In this article , the properties of superparamagnetic MgFe2O4 nanoparticles were investigated, and it was shown that the magnetic response is not well described by the Langevin function, even when taking into account the size distribution of the nanoparticles.

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.
