Aspects of quantum phase transitions

A unified description of i) classical phase transitions and their remnants in finite systems and ii) quantum phase transitions is presented. The ensuing discussion relies on the interplay between, on the one hand, the thermodynamic concepts of temperature and specific heat and on the other, the quantal ones of coupling strengths in the Hamiltonian. Our considerations are illustrated in an exactly solvable model of Plastino and Moszkowski [Il Nuovo Cimento {\bf 47}, 470 (1978)].

An Exactly Solvable Model Exhibiting a Landau Phase Transition

R. Alben

An exactly solvable model is presented that exhibits a phase transition and that can be exactly described by Landau's phase transition theory. The model is used to elucidate the constructs and assumptions that go into the Landau theory, and also to illustrate the role of fluctuations near an instability in a finite system.
