First-Order Phase Transitions in Superconductors and Smectic-ALiquid Crystals
Abstract
The superconducting phase transition is predicted to be weakly first order, because of effects of the intrinsic fluctuating magnetic field, according to a Wilson-Fisher $\ensuremath{\epsilon}$-expansion analysis, as well as a generalized mean-field calculation appropriate to a type-I superconductor. Similar results hold for the phase transition from a smectic-$A$ to a nematic liquid crystal.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
