Abstract
Abstract In this work we examine a superradiant (SR) and/or ferromagnetic (FM) - paramagnetic (PM) phase transitions problem in quantum materials which may be established by Barabási-Albert (BA) scale-free network that possesses power law degree distribution and specific degree correlations. We represent quantum material by means of Dicke-Ising model, that describes the interaction between a spin-1/2 (two-level) system and external classical (magnetic) and quantized (transverse) fields. To describe PM-FM and SR phase transitions we introduce three order parameters: the total (topologically) weighted as well as un-weighted z-spin components, and the normalized transverse field amplitude, which correspond to the spontaneous magnetization in z- and x-directions, respectively. We have shown that SR state occurs as a result of the interaction between the ordering of the spins in the z− and x-directions and depends on assortativity or disassortativity of the network medium. We have shown that non-trivial topological behavior associated with large fluctuations of network parameters inherent to assortative networks reduces of PM-FM phase transition temperature, while dissasortative networks exhibit high temperature phase transitions. Our findings demonstrate new opportunities to design of quantum materials which may be implemented for current quantum technologies at relatively high temperatures.
