This study reveals that thermodynamic phase transitions in 1D models are linked to topological changes. A mapping procedure shows that the phase transition energy aligns with the topological change energy, validating the topological approach for 1D systems.

Area of Science:

  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Computational Physics

Background:

  • Thermodynamic phase transitions are typically associated with topological changes in potential energy landscapes.
  • One-dimensional (1D) models, such as the Burkhardt solid-on-solid and Peyrard-Bishop DNA denaturation models, have not clearly fit this paradigm.
  • Previous work suggested these 1D models might not exhibit phase transitions signaled by topological discontinuities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the quantitative relationship between thermodynamic phase transitions and topological changes in 1D models.
  • To determine if the topological approach to phase transitions is applicable to seemingly non-conforming 1D systems.
  • To analyze the Burkhardt solid-on-solid and Peyrard-Bishop models in both confining and non-confining scenarios.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of two specific 1D models: Burkhardt solid-on-solid and Peyrard-Bishop models.
  • Examination of both confining and non-confining versions of these models.
  • Application of a mapping procedure (M: v -> v(s)) from energy hypersurface levels to stationary points visited at temperature T, adapted from the mean-field phi4 model.

Main Results:

  • The phase transition energy (v(c)) was found to be non-coincident with and higher than the energy of topological change (v(theta)) in both models.
  • The mapping procedure successfully reconciled these energies, demonstrating M(v(c)) = v(theta).
  • This indicates that underlying stationary points play a crucial role in system thermodynamics.

Conclusions:

  • The topological approach is extended to validate phase transitions in the studied 1D systems.
  • The findings highlight the significance of stationary points in understanding system thermodynamics.
  • This research bridges the gap between topological analysis and phase transitions in challenging 1D models.
