Joint CMSP-QLS seminar by Sumedha - Monday, 12 June 2023 at 11:00 CET - Multiple phase transitions in spin-1 models with quenched random fields

[Quantitative Life Sciences]

Dear All,

On Monday, 12 June  2023 at 11:00 CET, Sumedha (National Institute of 
Science Education and Research, Bhubaneswar, India ) will give a seminar 
titled:
*
Multiple phase transitions in spin-1 models with quenched random fields*

Abstract:
In this talk I will discuss two versions of the famous Blume Capel 
model, one with random crystal field disorder and another with random 
magnetic field disorder for infinite range interactions.
I will introduce a method based on the theory of large deviations to 
perform the disorder averaging. We find novel phase diagrams with new 
phases and multi-critical points like the critical end point, bicritical 
point and tetra critical point. I will also discuss a generalisation of 
the Blume-Capel model to p-spin interaction. This model with random 
crystal field disorder has a Gardner-like transition for finite p>=3.
