This is a tutorial review on the Potts model aimed at bringing out in an organized fashion the
essential and important properties of the standard Potts model. Emphasis is placed on exact …

A general lattice-statistical model which includes all soluble two-dimensional model of
phase transitions is proposed. Besides the well-known Ising and" ice" models, other soluble …

Northeast (NE) China is characterized by immense volumes of granitic rocks, exposed over
an area of ∼200,000km 2 . Although the precise geochronological framework was not clear, …

The North China Craton (NCC) was originally formed by the amalgamation of the eastern
and western blocks along an orogenic belt at ∼1.9 Ga. After cratonization, the NCC was …

Mesozoic igneous rocks are widespread throughout eastern China, but precise geochronological
constraints were previously lacking. Thirty-two samples, including dolerite, diorite and …

The short-range, one-band model for electron correlations in a narrow energy band is solved
exactly in the one-dimensional case. The ground-state energy, wave function, and the …

Zircon and baddeleyite U–Pb geochronological dating is widely used in solid Earth
sciences and the advent of rapid in-situ methods of analysis, such SIMS and ICP-MS, has re-…

The Lhasa Terrane in southern Tibet has long been accepted as the last geological block
accreted to Eurasia before its collision with the northward drifting Indian continent in the …

During the Mesozoic–Cenozoic, northward Neotethyan subduction and subsequent India–Asia
collision gave rise to the extensive Transhimalayan magmatism that stretches from …

The resistance between two arbitrary nodes in a resistor network is obtained in terms of the
eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplacian matrix associated with the network. Explicit …
