A new method for analyzing second-order phase transitions is presented and applied to the polaronic system La$_{0.7}$Ca$_{0.3}$MnO$_{3}$. It utilizes heat capacity and thermal expansion data simultaneously to correctly predict the critical temperatures pressure dependence. Analysis of the critical phenomena reveals second-order behavior and an unusually large heat capacity exponent.

We consider a system of mutually interacting spin 1/2 embedded in a transverse magnetic field which undergo a second order quantum phase transition. We analyze the entanglement properties and the spin squeezing of the ground state and show that, cont rarily to the one-dimensional case, a cusp-like singularity appears at the critical point $lambda_c$, in the thermodynamic limit. We also show that there exists a value $lambda_0 geq lambda_c$ above which the ground state is not spin squeezed despite a nonvanishing concurrence.

We report the synthesis of a new oxychalcogenide HgOCuSe sample. The resistivity decreases as a function of $T^{1.75}$ with decreasing temperature from room temperature down to around 80 K. There exists a very sharp ferromagnetic-like phase transitio n at around 60 K under a field of $H$ = 100 Oe. Contrary to the usual ferromagnetic materials, the descending and ascending branches of the magnetic hysteresis curve, at 30 K, are reversed in the whole irreversible field range and the reverse irreversibility decreases at 5 K.

We deal with the gap function and the thermodynamical potential in the BCS-Bogoliubov theory of superconductivity, where the gap function is a function of the temperature $T$ only. We show that the squared gap function is of class $C^2$ on the closed interval $[ 0, T_c ]$ and point out some more properties of the gap function. Here, $T_c$ stands for the transition temperature. On the basis of this study we then give, examining the thermodynamical potential, a mathematical proof that the transition to a superconducting state is a second-order phase transition. Furthermore, we obtain a new and more precise form of the gap in the specific heat at constant volume from a mathematical point of view.
We report on the magnetic properties of CsCo$_2$Se$_2$ with ThCr$_2$Si$_2$ structure, which we have characterized through a series of magnetization and neutron diffraction measurements. We find that CsCo$_2$Se2$_2$ undergoes a phase transition to an antiferromagnetically ordered state with a Neel temperature of $T_{rm N} approx$ 66 K. The nearest neighbour interactions are ferromagnetic as observed by the positive Curie-Weiss temperature of $Theta approx$ 51.0 K. We find that the magnetic structure of CsCo$_2$Se$_2$ consists of ferromagnetic sheets, which are stacked antiferromagnetically along the tetragonal textit{c}-axis, generally referred to as A-type antiferromagnetic order. The observed magnitude of the ordered magnetic moment at $T$ = 1.5 K is found to be only 0.20(1)$mu_{rm Bohr}$/Co. Already in comparably small magnetic fields of $mu_0 H_{MM}$(5K) $approx$ 0.3 T, we observe a metamagnetic transition that can be attributed to spin-rearrangements of CsCo$_2$Se$_2$, with the moments fully ferromagnetically saturated in a magnetic field of $mu_0 H_{rm FM}$(5K) $approx$ 6.4 T. We discuss the entire experimentally deduced magnetic phase diagram for CsCo$_2$Se$_2$ with respect to its unconventionally weak magnetic coupling. Our study characterizes CsCo$_2$Se$_2$, which is chemically and electronically posed closely to the $A_xFe_{2-y}Se_2$ superconductors, as a host of versatile magnetic interactions.
In this report we show that in the perovskite manganite La_{1-x}Ca_{x}MnO_3 for a fixed x approx 0.33, the magnetic transition changes over from first order to second order on reducing the particle size to nearly few tens of a nanometer. The change-o ver is brought about only by reducing the size and with no change in the stoichiometry. The size reduction to an average size of about 15 nm retains the ferromagnetic state albeit with somewhat smaller saturation magnetization and the ferromagnetic transition temperature T_{C} is suppressed by a small amount (4%). The magnetization of the nanoparticles near T_{C} follow the scaling equation $M/|epsilon|^beta = f_pm(H/|epsilon|^{gamma+beta})$, where, $epsilon = |T-T_C|/T_C$. The critical exponents, associated with the transition have been obtained from modified Arrott plots and they are found to be $beta=0.47pm 0.01$ and $gamma=1.06pm 0.03$. From a plot of M vs H at T_{C} we find the exponent $delta=3.10 pm 0.13$. All the exponents are close to the mean field values. The change-over of the order of the transition has been attributed to a lowering of the value of the derivative dT_{C}/dP due to an increased pressure in the nanoparticles arising due to size reduction. This effect acts in tandem with the rounding off effect due to random strain in the nanoparticles.
