- W2719277925 abstract "A summary of my research activity is presented in this thesis. The first chapter starts with a short presentation of the known critical properties of the pure Potts model, mainly in two dimensions. The influence of disorder coupled to the energy density is then discussed in the general context of temperature-driven phase transitions. A physical explanation for the smoothing of the transition, due to Imry and Wortis, is presented and then applied to explain the phase diagram of the homogeneous random two and three-dimensional Potts models. It is then extended to the Potts model on irregular graphs and with layered randomness. In the third section, the critical properties at the random fixed point are examined in the light of the series expansion obtained by Renormalisation Group. The multifractal spectrum of scaling dimensions is discussed in the two-dimensional case and a new symmetry is proposed. The predictions of conformal invariance for profiles and correlation functions are compared with numerical data for the two-dimensional random Potts model in strip or square geometries. Finally, the geometrical properties of interfaces induced by symmetry-breaking boundary conditions are analysed in the context of the recent Stochastic Schramm-Loewner Evolution theory. The second chapter is devoted to the aging properties of homogeneous or frustrated Potts models submitted to a quench below or at their critical temperature. The scaling theory of two-time functions, as well as the more recent Local Scale Invariance theory , are presented in the first section. The violation of the Fluctuation-Dissipation theorem is described and the interpretation of the so-called Fluctuation-Dissipation Ratio as an out-of-equilibrium effective temperature is discussed. These ideas are applied to different spin models. First, one-dimensional systems with the Ising symmetry are considered. The equivalence of the KDH model with a gas of immobile particles subjected to pair-annihilation is exploited to obtain new analytical results. The question of the universality of dynamical exponents and ratios is then addressed in the two-dimensional case. Several lattices and several models in different universality classes are compared. A new model with the same symmetry as the three-state Potts model but with an irreversible dynamics is introduced. Its phase diagram in the steady state is determined and its aging properties on the critical line are studied. Finally, the aging of the Fully-Frustrated Ising and XY models are examined. Emphasis is put on the presence of logarithmic corrections due to the existence of topological defects. Two applications of the Jarzynski relation to the Potts model are presented at the end of the chapter. A short third chapter introduces the numerical simulations employed to analyse different set of experimental data. Monte Carlo simulations were used to reproduced some magnetic phase transitions in layered nanostructures. Spectroscopic data of surface reconstructions were compared to the electronic band structure obtained by computing the first eigenvectors of the Bloch-Schrodinger equation with a projective technique combined with a multiscale approach." @default.
