Compared with previous assessments, the main focus was put on the thermodynamic description of the two intermetallic compounds Fe2Ti and FeTi. The C14_Laves phase Fe2Ti was described by the two-sublattice model, which is widely used at present. By checking the homogeneity range on the boundary of the ternary systems involving the binary, the phase boundary of this compound was further confirmed. The FeTi phase with a BCC_B2 crystal structure was treated as the ordered phase of the BCC_A2 phase and a unified Gibbs energy function was used to describe both the ordered and disordered phases. Reproduction of the specific heat capacities of these compounds was another aspect paid particular attention to. Comprehensive comparisons of the calculated and experimental results regarding the phase diagram and thermodynamic properties show a good agreement between them and prove the validity of the present thermodynamic description.展开更多

The ground-state phase diagram and the tricritical point are obtained in the transverse field Ω/ zJ-longitudinal crystal D / zJ field plane. We find that there are the first order-order phase transitions in a very small range of D /zJ besides the usual first order-disorder phase transitions and the second order-disorder phase transitions,展开更多

Using XXZ spin 1/2 chains with 15 or fewer sites, we demonstrate the weak finite-size dependence of spinon velocity for any magnitude of coupling strength and the strong phase dependence of central charge. This behavior of velocity and central charge in different coupling constants and different phases gives a method to determine phase transitions of -dimensional models. This method is simple and efficient by utilizing only the ground state energy of very short finite-size chains. It is also general and powerful for various one-dimensional lattice models and it uncovers even the weakest Berezinski?Kosterlitz?Thouless phase transitions.展开更多
