Phase transitions of the variety of random-field Potts models
(Elsevier, 2021)
The phase transitions of random-field q-state Potts models in d = 3 dimensions are studied by renormalization-group theory by exact solution of a hierarchical lattice and, equivalently, approximate Migdal-Kadanoff solutions ...
Electric-field induced phase transitions in capillary electrophoretic systems
(Aip Publishing, 2021)
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 ...
"Gruff Old Scientists" and "Rough Old Scholars": The Caricature of Intellectualism in Aldous Huxley's Short Stories
