Contact process on a Voronoi triangulation
We study the continuous absorbing-state phase transition in the contact
process on the Voronoi-Delaunay lattice. The Voronoi construction is a natural
way to introduce quenched coordination disorder in lattice models. We simulate
the disordered system using the quasistationary simulation method and determine
its critical exponents and moment ratios. Our results suggest that the critical
behavior of the disordered system is unchanged with respect to that on a
regular lattice, i.e., that of directed percolation
Influence of the external pressure on the quantum correlations of molecular magnets
The study of quantum correlations in solid state systems is a large avenue
for research and their detection and manipulation are an actual challenge to
overcome. In this context, we show by using first-principles calculations on
the prototype material KNaCuSiO that the degree of quantum
correlations in this spin cluster system can be managed by external hydrostatic
pressure. Our results open the doors for research in detection and manipulation
of quantum correlations in magnetic systems with promising applications in
quantum information science
