Splitting of nonequilibrium phase transitions in driven Ising models
Splitting of nonequilibrium phase transitions in driven Ising models
Spontaneous symmetry breaking occurs in various equilibrium and nonequilibrium systems, where phase transitions are typically marked by a single critical point that separates ordered and disordered regimes. We reveal a novel phenomenon in which the interplay between different temperatures and driving forces splits the order-disorder transition into two distinct transition …
