We present a theory of the multi-threshold second-order phase transition, and experimentally demonstrate the multi-threshold second-order phase transition phenomenon. With carefully selected parameters, in an external cavity diode laser system, we observe second-order phase transition with multiple (three or four) thresholds in the measured power-current-temperature three dimensional phase diagram. Such controlled death and revival of second-order phase transition sheds new insight into the nature of ubiquitous second-order phase transition. Our theory and experiment show that the single threshold second-order phase transition is only a special case of the more general multi-threshold second-order phase transition, which is an even richer phenomenon.

We introduce and study in two dimensions a new class of dry, aligning, active matter that exhibits a direct transition to orientational order, without the phase-separation phenomenology usually observed in this context. Characterized by self-propelled particles with velocity reversals and ferromagnetic alignment of polarities, systems in this class display quasi-long-range polar order with continuously-varying scaling exponents and yet a numerical study of the transition leads to conclude that it does not belong to the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless universality class, but is best described as a standard critical point with algebraic divergence of correlations. We rationalize these findings by showing that the interplay between order and density changes the role of defects.
The topological lasers, which are immune to imperfections and disorders, have been recently demonstrated based on many kinds of robust edge states, being mostly at microscale. The realization of 2D on-chip topological nanolasers, having the small footprint, low threshold and high energy efficiency, is still to be explored. Here, we report on the first experimental demonstration of the topological nanolaser with high performance in 2D photonic crystal slab. Based on the generalized 2D Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, a topological nanocavity is formed with the help of the Wannier-type 0D corner state. Laser behaviors with low threshold about 1 $mu W$ and high spontaneous emission coupling factor of 0.25 are observed with quantum dots as the active material. Such performance is much better than that of topological edge lasers and comparable to conventional photonic crystal nanolasers. Our experimental demonstration of the low-threshold topological nanolaser will be of great significance to the development of topological nanophotonic circuitry for manipulation of photons in classical and quantum regimes.
We first show some properties such as smoothness and monotone decreasingness of the solution to the BCS-Bogoliubov gap equation for superconductivity. Moreover we give the behavior of the solution with respect to the temperature near the transition temperature. On the basis of these results, dealing with the thermodynamic potential, we then show that the transition from a normal conducting state to a superconducting state is a second-order phase transition in the BCS-Bogoliubov model of superconductivity from the viewpoint of operator theory. Here we have no magnetic field and we need to introduce a cutoff $varepsilon>0$, which is sufficiently small and fixed (see Remark ref{rmk:varepsilon}). Moreover we obtain the exact and explicit expression for the gap in the specific heat at constant volume at the transition temperature.
The quasispecies model describes processes related to the origin of life and viral evolutionary dynamics. We discuss how the error catastrophe that reflects the transition from localized to delocalized quasispecies population is affected by catalytic replication of different reaction orders. Specifically, we find that 2nd order mechanisms lead to 1st order discontinuous phase transitions in the viable population fraction, and conclude that the higher the interaction the lower the transition. We discuss potential implications for understanding the replication of highly mutating RNA viruses.
We show that the transition from a normal conducting state to a superconducting state is a second-order phase transition in the BCS-Bogoliubov model of superconductivity from the viewpoint of operator theory. Here we have no magnetic field. Moreover we obtain the exact and explicit expression for the gap in the specific heat at constant volume at the transition temperature. To this end, we have to differentiate the thermodynamic potential with respect to the temperature two times. Since there is the solution to the BCS-Bogoliubov gap equation in the form of the thermodynamic potential, we have to differentiate the solution with respect to the temperature two times. Therefore, we need to show that the solution to the BCS-Bogoliubov gap equation is differentiable with respect to the temperature two times as well as its existence and uniqueness. We carry out its proof on the basis of fixed point theorems.
