Gas to liquid phase transitions for electronic matter

Regular atomic matter almost always experiences liquid-gas transition at some temperature (at sufficiently low pressure). Does anyone know if electrons in metals/semiconductors experience a similar ...

Hertz-Millis theory and quantum criticality

Hartz-Millis(HM) theory is a model which exhibits quantum phase transition. The HM action following Altland & Simons is given by $$ S = \frac{1}{\beta}\sum_{\omega_{n}}\int \frac{d^d q}{(2\pi)^d}\...

Pomeranchuk Effect

Pomeranchuk effect poses a paradox of order by disorder phase-transition. The liquid Helium-3 is in a liquid form close to absolute temperature. For high enough pressure, as you increase the ...
