1. Phase transitions in novel superfluids and systems with correlated disorder
Sammanfattning : Condensed matter systems undergoing phase transitions rarely allow exact solutions. The presence of disorder renders the situation even worse but collective Monte Carlo methods and parallel algorithms allow numerical descriptions. LÄS MER
2. Critical Phenomena and Exchange Coupling in Magnetic Heterostructures
Sammanfattning : The continuous phase transition in thin magnetic films and superlattices has been studied using the magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) and polarized neutron scattering (PNR). It has been shown that the critical behavior of amorphous thin films belonging to the 2D XY universality class can be described within the same theory as crystalline sample. LÄS MER
3. Density-matrix renormalization-group analysis of quantum phase transitions in disordered spin chains
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
4. Crystallization of the superconducting phase in unconventional superconductors
Sammanfattning : Superconductivity is a macroscopic quantum phenomenon, in the sense that a macroscopic number of electrons form a pair condensate, that occupies a single ground state. The electrons in this state are phase-coherent, breaking global U (1)-symmetry, and spatial variations of the phase imply superflows that usually cost kinetic energy, resulting in a uniform and rigid phase.

5. A Matter of Disorder : Monte Carlo Simulations of Phase Transitions in Strongly Disordered Systems
Sammanfattning : Phase transitions and their critical scaling properties, especially in systems with disorder, are important both for our theoretical understanding of our environment, but also for their practical use in applications and materials in our everyday life. This thesis presents results from finite size scaling analysis of critical phenomena in systems with disorder, using high-precision Monte Carlo simulations and state of the art numerical methods.
