New posts in Phase Transition

What is the relation between non-local order parameters and topological phases?

How is the free energy of Kosterlitz-Thouless transition smooth yet non-analytic?

Why does an ice stupa not melt for 6 months?

Is the zero-point energy of helium stronger than other liquids to disfavour freezing?

Because things smell, is everything evaporating?

Is a single radon-daughter atom in air, such as ${}^{218}\text{Po}$, a solid?

How does ice melt when immersed in water?

Non-uniqueness of the Order Parameter and its Critical Exponent

Why do ice crystals form from the top to the bottom of a bottle filled with supercooled water?

Why is Wilson's work so relevant in particle physics? I thought that critical phenomena were described by CFTs
