Faz geçişlerinin nitel tanımı: Kritik üsteller

Çok parçacıktan oluşan sistemler, parçacıklar arasındaki etkileşimler dolayısıyla parçacıkların ortaklaşa hareket etmeleri sonucunda kritik noktalarında faz geçişine uğrarlar. Bu tür kritik olaylar, çeşitli modeller yardımıyla nicel olarak incelenebilmektedir. Ancak, başlıkta da verildiği gibi bu tür olaylar, kritik üsteller aracılığıyla nitel olarak da ifade edilebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, kritik üstellerin tanımı, aralarındaki ilişkiler ve saf sıvı sistemleri ile manyetik sistemler için deneysel veriler sunulmuştur.

The qualitative description of the phase transitions: Critical exponents

The interactions between the particles of a many body system result in a collective motion of the particles and these in turn cause the many particle system to experience a phase transition near their critical points. These kind of critical phenomena can be quantitatively analysed by a variety of models. However, these phenomena can also be qualitatively defined by critical exponents, as implied in the title. In this study, a description of the critical exponents was followed by a discussion of the relations between them. Also, some experimental data on pure liquids and magnetic systems were presented.
