Spin-Glass Phases and Multichaos in the Ashkin–Teller Model
(Elsevier Ltd, 2026) Saray, A.; Berker, A.N.
The global phase diagram of the Ashkin–Teller spin glass is calculated in d=3 spatial dimensions by renormalization-group theory. Depending on the value of the positive or negative four-spin interaction, qualitatively different topologies are found for the spin-glass phase diagram in the usual variables of temperature and fraction of antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor interactions. Two different spin-glass phases occur. Both spin-glass phases are chaotic. One spin-glass exhibits phase reentrance that is reverse from the reentrances seen in previous spin-glass phase diagrams. Seven different phases: Ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic, entropic ferromagnetic and entropic antiferromagnetic, spin-glass and entropic spin-glass, and disordered phases occur. The entropic ferromagnetic phase unusually but understandably occurs at temperatures above one spin-glass phase. A random disorder line is identified and no phase transition occurs on this line. Our calculation is exact on the d = 3 hierarchical lattice and Migdal–Kadanoff approximate on the cubic lattice. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd.
Multiplicity of Algebraic Order From Fixed Lines of Potential Surfaces: X-Y-Ashkin in Spatial Dimension D=2
(Amer Physical Soc, 2025) Artun, E.C.; Berker, A.N.
A position-space renormalization-group study is done for the Ashkin-Tellerized XY model, as an exact solution on the d=2 hierarchical lattice and an approximate solution on the square lattice. A multiplicity of algebraic order is found in the phase diagram, in the form of renormalization-group fixed lines composed of a continuous sequence of interaction potential surfaces. In the Ashkin-Tellerized XY model, each site has two continuously varying spins, each spin being an XY spin, that is, having orientation continuously varying in 2π radians. Nearest-neighbor sites are coupled by two-spin and four-spin interactions. The phase diagram has algebraically ordered phases that are ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic in each of the spins, and algebraically ordered phases that are ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic in the combined spin variable. These phases are subtended by fixed lines of potential surfaces that are multiplicatively different Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless fixed potentials. The evolution of continuously varying criticality is traced within each of the four phases. The renormalization-group flows, the fixed lines, and the interaction surfaces are in terms of the doubly composite Fourier coefficients of the exponentiated energy of the four nearest-neighbor spins. The disordered phase is maintained along two semi-infinite a priori quasi-disorder lines. This record is sourced from MEDLINE/PubMed, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine

Maximally Random Discrete-Spin Systems With Symmetric and Asymmetric Interactions and Maximally Degenerate Ordering
(Amer Physical Soc., 2018) Atalay, Bora; Berker, A. Nihat
Discrete-spin systems with maximally random nearest-neighbor interactions that can be symmetric or asymmetric ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic including off-diagonal disorder are studied for the number of states q = 34 in d dimensions. We use renormalization-group theory that is exact for hierarchical lattices and approximate (Migdal-Kadanoff) for hypercubic lattices. For all d > 1 and all nonmfimte temperatures the system eventually renormalizes to a random single state thus signaling q x q degenerate ordering. Note that this is the maximally degenerate ordering. For high-temperature initial conditions the system crosses over to this highly degenerate ordering only after spending many renormalization-group iterations near the disordered (infinite-temperature) fixed point. Thus a temperature range of short-range disorder in the presence of long-range order is identified as previously seen in underfrustrated Ising spin-glass systems. The entropy is calculated for all temperatures behaves similarly for ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions and shows a derivative maximum at the short-range disordering temperature. With a sharp immediate contrast of infinitesimally higher dimension 1 + epsilon the system is as expected disordered at all temperatures for d = 1.

Electric-field induced phase transitions in capillary electrophoretic systems
(Aip Publishing, 2021) Kaygusuz, Hakan; Erim, F. Bedia; Berker, A. Nihat
The movement of particles in a capillary electrophoretic system under electroosmotic flow was modeled using Monte Carlo simulation with the Metropolis algorithm. Two different cases with repulsive and attractive interactions between molecules were taken into consideration. Simulation was done using a spin-like system, where the interactions between the nearest and second closest neighbors were considered in two separate steps of the modeling study. A total of 20 different cases with different rates of interactions for both repulsive and attractive interactions were modeled. The movement of the particles through the capillary is defined as current. At a low interaction level between molecules, a regular electroosmotic flow is obtained; on the other hand, with increasing interactions between molecules, the current shows a phase transition behavior. The results also show that a modular electroosmotic flow can be obtained for separations by tuning the ratio between molecular interactions and electric field strength.

Renormalization-Group Theory of the Heisenberg Model in D Dimensions
(Elsevier, 2022) Tunca, Egemen; Berker, A. Nihat
The classical Heisenberg model has been solved in spatial d dimensions, exactly in d = 1 and by the Migdal-Kadanoff approximation in d > 1, by using a Fourier-Legendre expansion. The phase transition temperatures, the energy densities, and the specific heats are calculated in arbitrary dimension d. Fisher's exact result is recovered in d = 1. The absence of an ordered phase, conventional or algebraic (in contrast to the XY model yielding an algebraically ordered phase) is recovered in d = 2. A conventionally ordered phase occurs at d > 2. This method opens the way to complex-system calculations with Heisenberg local degrees of freedom.(c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Metastable Potts droplets
(AMER PHYSICAL SOC, 2021) Artun, E. Can; Berker, A. Nihat
The existence and limits of metastable droplets have been calculated using finite-system renormalization-group theory, for q-state Potts models in spatial dimension d = 3. The dependence of the droplet critical sizes on magnetic field, temperature, and number of Potts states q has been calculated. The same method has also been used for the calculation of hysteresis loops across first-order phase transitions in these systems. The hysteresis loop sizes and shapes have been deduced as a function of magnetic field, temperature, and number of Potts states q. The uneven appearance of asymmetry in the hysteresis loop branches has been noted. The method can be extended to criticality and phase transitions in metastable phases, such as in surface-adsorbed systems and water.
Merged Potts-Clock Model: Algebraic and Conventional Multistructured Multicritical Orderings in Two and Three Dimensions
(Amer Physical Soc, 2023) Artun, E. Can; Berker, A. Nihat
A spin system is studied with simultaneous permutation-symmetric Potts and spin-rotation-symmetric clock interactions in spatial dimensions d = 2 and 3. The global phase diagram is calculated from the renormalization-group solution with the recently improved (spontaneous first-order detecting) Migdal-Kadanoff approximation or, equivalently, with hierarchical lattices with the inclusion of effective vacancies. Five different ordered phases are found: Conventionally ordered ferromagnetic, quadrupolar, antiferromagnetic phases and algebraically ordered antiferromagnetic, antiquadrupolar phases. These five different ordered phases and the disordered phase are mutually bounded by first-and second-order phase transitions, themselves delimited by multicritical points: Inverted bicritical, zero-temperature bicritical, tricritical, second-order bifurcation, and zero-temperature highly degenerate multicritical points. One rich phase diagram topology exhibits all of these phenomena.

Lower Lower-Critical Spin-Glass Dimension From Quenched Mixed-Spatial Spin Glasses
(Amer Physical Soc., 2018) Atalay, Bora; Berker, A. Nihat
By quenched-randomly mixing local units of different spatial dimensionalities we have studied Ising spin-glass systems on hierarchical lattices continuously in dimensionalities 1 <= d <= 3. The global phase diagram in temperature antiferromagnetic bond concentration and spatial dimensionality is calculated. We find that as dimension is lowered the spin-glass phase disappears to zero temperature at the lower-critical dimension d(c) = 2.431. Our system being a physically realizable system this sets an upper limit to the lower-critical dimension in general for the Ising spin-glass phase. As dimension is lowered towards d(c) the spin-glass critical temperature continuously goes to zero but the spin-glass chaos fully subsists to the brink of the disappearance of the spin-glass phase. The Lyapunov exponent measuring the strength of chaos is thus largely unaffected by the approach to d and shows a discontinuity to zero at d(c.)
Axial, planar-diagonal, body-diagonal fields on the cubic-spin spin glass in d=3: A plethora of ordered phases under finite fields
(Amer Physical Soc, 2024) Artun, E. Can; Sarman, Deniz; Berker, A. Nihat
A nematic phase, previously seen in the d = 3 classical Heisenberg spin-glass system, occurs in the n-component cubic-spin spin-glass system, between the low-temperature spin-glass phase and the hightemperature disordered phase, for number of spin components n >= 3, in spatial dimension d = 3, thus constituting a liquid-crystal phase in a dirty (quenched-disordered) magnet. Furthermore, under application of a variety of uniform magnetic fields, a veritable plethora of phases is found. Under uniform magnetic fields, 17 different phases and two spin-glass phase diagram topologies (meaning the occurrences and relative positions of the many phases), qualitatively different from the conventional spin-glass phase diagram topology, are seen. The chaotic rescaling behaviors and their Lyapunov exponents are calculated in each of these spin-glass phase diagram topologies. These results are obtained from renormalization-group calculations that are exact on the d = 3 hierarchical lattice and, equivalently, approximate on the cubic spatial lattice. Axial, planar-diagonal, or body-diagonal finite-strength uniform fields are applied to n = 2 and 3 component cubic-spin spin-glass systems in d=3.

Driven and Non-Driven Surface Chaos in Spin-Glass Sponges
(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2023) Pektas, Yigit Ertac; Artun, E. Can; Berker, A. Nihat
A spin-glass system with a smooth or fractal outer surface is studied by renormalization-group theory, in bulk spatial dimension d = 3. Independently varying the surface and bulk random-interaction strengths, phase diagrams are calculated. The smooth surface does not have spin-glass ordering in the absence of bulk spin-glass ordering and always has spin-glass ordering when the bulk is spin-glass ordered. With fractal (d > 2) surfaces, a sponge is obtained and has surface spin-glass ordering also in the absence of bulk spin-glass ordering. The phase diagram has the only-surface-spin-glass ordered phase, the bulk and surface spin-glass ordered phase, and the disordered phase, and a special multicritical point where these three phases meet. All spin-glass phases have distinct chaotic renormalization-group trajectories, with distinct Lyapunov and runaway exponents which we have calculated.
