Quantum-classical crossover close to quantum critical point

We analyze the quantum-classical crossover in the vicinity of the continuous quantum critical point (QCP) of a Boson system. The analysis is based on the Keldysh approach for the description of of the non-equilibrium quantum dynamics. The critical behavior close to QCP has three different regimes (modes): adiabatic quantum mode (AQM), dissipative classical mode (classical critical dynamics mode (CCDM) and dissipative quantum critical mode (QCDM). Crossover among these regimes (modes) is possible: it is shown that the experimentally observed changing of the critical exponents close to QCP is the dynamical effect accompanying the crossover from CCDM where the thermal fluctuations dominate to QCDM where the quantum fluctuations determine the critical behavior. In this case the effective dimension of the $d$-dimensional system continuously changes from $D_{eff}=d$ to $D_{eff}=d+2$ while the universality class of the system does not change.

Classical many-particle distribution functions: some new applications

We present a new purely equilibrium microscopic approach to the description of liquid-glass transition in terms of space symmetry breaking of three- and four-particle distribution functions in the cases of two and three dimensions, respectively. The approach has some features of spin glass theories as well as of density-functional theories of freezing.

Freezing transition in three and two dimensions by the generalized density functional theory

A brief introduction to conventional DFT of 3D freezing is given and some recent results are reviewed. The conventional DFT, however, can not be used in the 2D case, particularly, because it can not describe the hexatic phase -- intermediate phase of 2D melting. We generalize DFT to describe 2D systems and two-stage melting scenario including intermediate hexatic phase. Hexatic phase is characterized by the appearance of bond orientational ordering. Our approach describes this fact in terms of the appearance of nonisotropic part of the two-particle distribution function while one-particle density remains constant. Now we are dealing with the bifurcation of the solution of the equation for the binary distribution function. Microscopic expressions for elastic moduli and the Frank constant of hexatic phase are derived on the base of comparison of distribution functions asymptotic behavior with the results of phenomenological theories. We use our approach for the calculation of the phase boundary between usual isotropic liquid and hexatic phase and slightly modified traditional DFT for the phase boundary between hexatic phase and crystalline solid for a number of 2D systems (hard disks, classical electron crystal, thin superconducting films, Yukawa system etc.)
