Conclusions. 330 $aThis thesis is a tour-de-force combination of analytic and computational results clarifying and resolving important questions about the nature of quantum phase transitions in one- and two-dimensional magnetic systems. The author presents a comprehensive study of a low-dimensional spin-half quantum antiferromagnet (the J-Q model) in the presence of a magnetic field in both one and two dimensions, demonstrating the causes of metamagnetism in such systems and providing direct evidence of fractionalized excitations near the deconfined quantum critical point. In addition to describing significant new research results, this thesis also provides the non-expert with a clear understanding of the nature and importance of computational physics and its role in condensed matter physics as well as the nature of phase transitions, both classical and quantum. It also contains an elegant and detailed but accessible summary of the methods used in the thesis?exact diagonalization, Monte Carlo, quantum Monte Carlo and the stochastic series expansion?that will serve as a valuable pedagogical introduction to students beginning in this field. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aMagnetism 606 $aMagnetic materials 606 $aPhase transitions (Statistical physics) 606 $aPhysics 606 $aPhase transformations (Statistical physics) 606 $aCondensed materials 606 $aNumerical analysis 606 $aMagnetism, Magnetic Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25129 606 $aPhase Transitions and Multiphase Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25099 606 $aNumerical and Computational Physics, Simulation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19021 606 $aQuantum Gases and Condensates$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24033 606 $aNumerical Analysis$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M14050 615 0$aMagnetism. 615 0$aMagnetic materials. 615 0$aPhase transitions (Statistical physics). 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aPhase transformations (Statistical physics). 615 0$aCondensed materials. 615 0$aNumerical analysis. 615 14$aMagnetism, Magnetic Materials. 615 24$aPhase Transitions and Multiphase Systems. 615 24$aNumerical and Computational Physics, Simulation. 615 24$aQuantum Gases and Condensates. 615 24$aNumerical Analysis. 676 $a530.12 700 $aIaizzi$b Adam$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01060933 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300535203321 996 $aMagnetic Field Effects in Low-Dimensional Quantum Magnets$92516318 997 $aUNINA
