Finite-temperature phase transition in ϕ6 potential
Keyword(s):
The temperature dependance of the action in thin-wall and thick-wall limits is obtained analytically for the ϕ6 scalar potential. The nature of the phase transition is investigated from the quantum tunnelling regime at low temperatures to the thermal hopping regime at high temperatures. It is first-order for the case of a thin wall while for the thick wall it is second- order. PACS Nos.: 10.10.Wx, 05.70.Fh, 10.10.Ef
