Phase Transitions Between Different Spin-Glass Phases and Between Different Chaoses in Quenched Random Chiral Systems
(Amer Physical Soc., 2017) Çağlar, Tolga; Berker, A. Nihat
The left-right chiral and ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic double-spin-glass clock model with the crucially even number of states q = 4 and in three dimensions d = 3 has been studied by renormalization-group theory. We find for the first time to our knowledge four spin-glass phases including conventional chiral and quadrupolar spin-glass phases and phase transitions between spin-glass phases. The chaoses in the different spin-glass phases and in the phase transitions of the spin-glass phases with the other spin-glass phases with the non-spin-glass ordered phases and with the disordered phase are determined and quantified by Lyapunov exponents. It is seen that the chiral spin-glass phase is the most chaotic spin-glass phase. The calculated phase diagram is also otherwise very rich including regular and temperature-inverted devil's staircases and reentrances.

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.

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.

Global Ashkin-Teller Phase Diagrams in Two and Three Dimensions: Multicritical Bifurcation Versus Double Tricriticality-Endpoint
(Elsevier, 2023) Kecoglu, Ibrahim; Berker, A. Nihat
The global phase diagrams of the Ashkin-Teller model are calculated in d = 2 and 3 by renormalization-group theory that is exact on the hierarchical lattice and approximate on the recently improved Migdal-Kadanoff procedure. Three different ordered phases occur in the dimensionally distinct phase diagrams that reflect three-fold order-parameter permutation symmetry, a closed symmetry line, and a quasi-disorder line. First- and second-order phase boundaries are obtained. In d = 2, second-order phase transitions meeting at a bifurcation point are seen. In d = 3, first- and second-order phase transitions are separated by tricritical and critical endpoints.

Spin-S Spin-Glass Phases in the D=3 Ising Model
(Amer Physical Soc, 2021) Artun, E. Can; Berker, A. Nihat
All higher-spin (s >= 1/2) Ising spin glasses are studied by renormalization-group theory in spatial dimension d = 3, exactly on a d = 3 hierarchical model and, simultaneously, by the Migdal-Kadanoff approximation on the cubic lattice. The s-sequence of global phase diagrams, the chaos Lyapunov exponent, and the spin-glass runaway exponent are calculated. It is found that, in d = 3, a finite-temperature spin-glass phase occurs for all spin values, including the continuum limit of s -> infinity. The phase diagrams, with increasing spin s, saturate to a limit value. The spin-glass phase, for all s, exhibits chaotic behavior under rescalings, with the calculated Lyapunov exponent of lambda = 1.93 and runaway exponent of y(R) = 0.24, showing simultaneous strong-chaos and strong-coupling behavior. The ferromagnetic-spin-glass and spin-glass-antiferromagnetic phase transitions occurring, along their whole length, respectively at p(t) = 0.37 and 0.63 are unaffected by s, confirming the percolative nature of this phase transition.

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.

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.

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.
