  1. 1. Numerical Estimation of Critical Exponents in the 3D XY Model

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Christoffer Beiming; [2023]
    Keywords : Theoretical physics; Condensed matter theory; Phase transitions; XY model; Critical exponents; Computational physics; Monte Carlo simulations; Teoretisk fysik; Kondenserade materiens teori; Fasövergångar; XY-modellen; Kritiska exponenter; Beräkningsfysik; Monte Carlo simulering;

    Abstract : The experimentally obtained value of the critical exponent ν is presently in significant disagreement with current theoretical predictions for the λ-universality class. We suggest two novel approaches of determining the exponents ν and η by utilizing the effects of finite size scaling. READ MORE

  3. 2. An alternative explanation for scale-free speed correlations in starling flocks: coarse-graining in time

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för fysik och elektroteknik (IFE)

    Author : Mate Jagnjic; [2023]
    Keywords : scale-free correlations; active matter; starling flocks; coarse-graining;

    Abstract : In a celebrated series of experimental observations, starling flocks have been shown to be characterized by scale-free, long-ranged spatial correlations in their velocity fluctuations. While this is expected for velocity orientation correlations on the basis of simple symmetry-breaking arguments, the same scaling-free behaviour for speed (i.e. READ MORE

  4. 3. Modelling Ganymede’s Aurora

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : James Tammila; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A 3D model of Ganymede’s aurora is created using captured data from the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS), on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The data is processed into 24 images and analyzed. A 3D grid is generated around the moon to implement a functional model to describe the aurora. READ MORE

  5. 4. Effects of power-law correlated disorder on a 3D XY model

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Philip Broms; [2022]
    Keywords : Condensed matter physics; Ising model; XY model; Markov Chain Monte Carlo; Phase transition; Disorder; Theoretical physics; Wolff algorithm; Kondenserade materians teori; Isingmodell; XY-modell; Markovkedje-Monte Carlo-metoder; Teoretisk fysik; Oordning; Fasövergångar; Wolffalgoritmen;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the effects of power-law correlated disorder on a three-dimensional XY model and the Weinrib-Halperin disorder relevance criterion’s pre-dictive ability. Ising models are used as a map to realise disorder couplings. READ MORE

  6. 5. Models of superconductors with correlated defects

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Jakob Bolin; [2022]
    Keywords : Quantum phase transition; correlated disorder; 3D XY model; Monte Carlo simulation; worm algorithm; winding number; superfluid density; Kvantfasövergång; korrelerad oordning; 3D XY modell; Monte Carlo simulering; worm algoritmen; vindlingstal; supraledande täthet;

    Abstract : The quantum phase transition between groundstates of a system with correlated disorder near absolute zero is studied. The computations are based on Monte Carlo methods and the worm algorithm which is an effective method to simulate basic models like the Ising and XY model by making use of global Monte Carlo moves given by modified random walks.
