Here, S denotes the magnitude of the spin and p represents the number of spins involved in each interaction. The analysis is performed for S=1/2,1,3/2,2, and p=3,4,5. For the one-dimensional model, we formulate transfer matrices and numerically diagonalize them to analyze the temperature dependence of the free energy and spin-spin correlations. In the case of S=1/2, the free energy does not depend on p, and the spin-spin correlations are uniformly enhanced across all temperature scales as p increases. In contrast, for S≥1, the free energy varies with p, and the spin-spin correlations are significantly enhanced at lower temperatures as p increases. For the two-dimensional model, by using multicanonical simulations, we analyze physical quantities such as an order parameter, internal energy, and specific heat. In addition, we define and examine an order parameter to distinguish ordered and disordered phases. It is found that a first-order phase transition occurs at finite temperatures for all S and p≥3, and increasing p strengthens its nature. We present S and p dependence of the transition temperature and latent heat, and discuss effects of higher-order interactions on the nature of phase transitions.</p>","PeriodicalId":48698,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review E","volume":"111 2-1","pages":"024132"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143659274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike existing numerical models, we account for microstreaming and fluid elasticity contributions to the radiation force. We elucidate the inherent assumptions within reduced expressions considered in prior numerical models and highlight the divergence between the acoustic radiation force obtained from the reduced and general expressions. We also discuss numerical considerations to ensure the invariance of the acoustic radiation force with the choice of integration surface by recasting the time-averaged mass balance equation in terms of Stokes drift. Our results reveal that the acoustic radiation force exhibits a peak value for an optimal relaxation time, and both the peak acoustic radiation force and the optimal relaxation time increase with increasing polymer viscosity.

For instance, they can be modeled as active droplets, where the combination of molecular interactions and chemical reactions result in microphase separation. However, so far, models of chemically active droplets are spatially continuous and deterministic. Therefore, the relationship between the microscopic parameters of the models and some crucial properties of active droplets (such as their polydispersity, their shape anisotropy, or their typical lifetime) is yet to be established. In this work, we address this question computationally, using Brownian dynamics simulations of chemically active droplets: the building blocks are represented explicitly as particles that interact with attractive or repulsive interactions, depending on whether they are in a droplet-forming state or not.
