Phase diagram for the S equals one-half and J equals three-halves Kondo lattice model
… is represented by finite hybridization. Magnetic ordering is examined via ordering vectors, but coexistence with the Kondo phase is not allowed. Phase diagrams are produced in S=1/2 and J=3/2 with second-order transitions at Kondo-paramagnetic and magnetic-paramagnetic boundaries, and first order …

On Quantum Simulators and Adiabatic Quantum Algorithms
… quantum computing. We demonstrate that the first-order correction, which has frequently been used as a condition for adiabatic quantum computation, does not yield a good estimate for the computational error. Therefore, a more general criterion is proposed, which includes higher-order …

Phase Transitions in Disordered Systems: I. Exciton/electron-Hole Liquid/plasma System in Germanium and Ii. Amorphous Ferromagnets and Spin Glasses
… recombination luminescence. We observe a line of first-order transitions between the exciton gas and e-h gas occurring up to 7 K which we associate with the M-I transition. This is well above the temperature of the L-G critical point which we found to be 4.5 (+OR-) 0.5 K with a critical density of …

Exploring new materials for caloric cooling
… are explored by exploiting latent heat from first-order phase transitions in a smart polymer driven by stimuli unexplored in the field of calorics thus far. Despite displaying large thermally driven entropy changes (|∆S₀|) near superionic transitions, the superionic conductors studied here …

High-temperature superconductivity in a family of iron pnictide materials
… of a splitting of the structural and magnetic transitions in the first species. I also discuss the effect of pressure, which can lead to superconductivity in lightly doped samples for very modest pressures; and annealing, which increases transition temperatures within samples, on a limited …

Electrocaloric materials and devices
… to isothermal entropy change ∆S for hysteretic first-order transitions is described. An indirect route to adiabatic temperature change ∆T, without the need for field-resolved heat capacity data, is also described. Three temperature controllers were built: a cryogenic probe for 77-420 K with ∼5 …
