Collisional EPR Frequency Shifts in Cs-Rb-Xe Mixtures

We report a measurement of the ratio of dimensionless enhancement factors $κ_0$ for Cs-$^{129}$Xe and Rb-$^{129}$Xe in the temperature range $115-140\, ^{\circ}$C; both pairs are used in spin-exchange optical pumping (SEOP) to produce hyperpolarized $^{129}$Xe. $κ_0$ characterizes the amplification of the $^{129}$Xe magnetization contribution to the alkali-metal electronic effective field, compared to the case of a uniform continuous medium in classical magnetostatics. The measurement was carried out in "hybrid" vapor cells containing both Rb and Cs metal in a prescribed ratio, producing approximately the same vapor density for both. Alternating measurements of the optically detected EPR frequency shifts caused by the SEOP polarization and subsequent sudden destruction of the same quantity of $^{129}$Xe magnetization were made for $^{133}$Cs and either $^{87}$Rb or $^{85}$Rb. An important source of systematic error caused by power fluctuations in the pump laser that produced variable light shifts in the EPR frequency was characterized and then mitigated by allowing sufficient warm-up time for the pump laser. We measured $(κ_0)_{\rm CsXe}/(κ_0)_{\rm RbXe} = 1.215 \pm 0.007$ with no apparent temperature dependence. Based on our previous measurement $(κ_0)_{\rm RbXe}=518 \pm 8$, we determine $(κ_0)_{\rm CsXe} = 629 \pm 10$, more precise than but consistent with a previous measurement made by another research group.

Thermodynamics and and phase transition of topological dilatonic Lifshitz-like black holes

It is known that scalar-tensor gravity models can be studied in Einstein and Jordan frames. In this paper, we consider a model of scalar-tensor gravity in Einstein's frame to calculate the Lifshitz-like black hole solutions with different horizon topologies. We study thermodynamic properties and first order van der Waals like phase transition, and find that the Lifshitz parameter affects the phase structure. In addition, we investigate thermal stability by using the behavior of heat capacity and various methods of geometrical thermodynamics.

Phase transition of black holes in Brans--Dicke Born--Infeld gravity through geometrical thermodynamics

Using the geometrical thermodynamic approach, we study phase transition of Brans--Dicke Born--Infeld black holes. We apply introduced methods and describe their shortcomings. We also use the recently proposed new method and compare its results with those of canonical ensemble. By considering the new method, we find that its Ricci scalar diverges in the places of phase transition and bound points. We also show that the bound point can be distinguished from the phase transition points through the sign of thermodynamical Ricci scalar around its divergencies.

Phase transition of charged Black Holes in Brans-Dicke theory through geometrical thermodynamics

In this paper, we take into account black hole solutions of Brans-Dicke-Maxwell theory and investigate their stability and phase transition points. We apply the concept of geometry in thermodynamics to obtain phase transition points and compare its results with those, calculated in canonical ensemble through heat capacity. We show that these black holes enjoy second order phase transitions. We also show that there is a lower bound for the horizon radius of physical charged black holes in Brans-Dicke theory which is originated from restrictions of positivity of temperature. In addition, we find that employing specific thermodynamical metric in the context of geometrical thermodynamics, yields divergencies for thermodynamical Ricci scalar in places of the phase transitions. It will be pointed out that due to characteristics behavior of thermodynamical Ricci scalar around its divergence points, one is able to distinguish the physical limitation point from the phase transitions. In addition, the free energy of these black holes will be obtained and its behavior will be investigated. It will be shown that the behavior of the free energy in the place where the heat capacity diverges, demonstrates second order phase transition characteristics.

Extended phase space thermodynamics and $P-V$ criticality: Brans-Dicke-Born-Infeld vs Einstein-Born-Infeld-dilaton black holes

Motivated by thermodynamic analogy of black holes and Van der Waals liquid/gas system, in this paper, we study $P-V$ criticality of both dilatonic Born-Infeld black holes and their conformal solutions, Brans-Dicke-Born-Infeld solutions. Due to the conformal constraint, we have to neglect the old Lagrangian of dilatonic Born-Infeld theory and its black hole solutions, and introduce a new one. We obtain spherically symmetric nonlinearly charged black hole solutions in both Einstein and Jordan frames and then, we calculate the related conserved and thermodynamic quantities. After that, we extend the phase space by considering the proportionality of the cosmological constant and thermodynamical pressure. We obtain critical values of thermodynamic coordinates through numerical methods and plot relevant $P-V$ and $G-T$ diagrams. Investigation of the mentioned diagrams helps us to study thermodynamical phase transition. We also analyze the effects of varying different parameters on the phase transition of black holes.

Extended phase space thermodynamics and $P-V$ criticality of charged black holes in Brans-Dicke theory

In this paper, taking in to account Brans-Dick theory, we investigate thermodynamic behavior of charged black hole solutions. We study the analogy of the black hole solution with the Van der Waals liquid-gas system in the extended phase space by considering the cosmological constant as dynamical pressure. We obtain critical values of thermodynamic coordinates and plot $P-r_{+}$ and $G-T$ diagrams to study the phase transition.
