Oxygen Potential Transition in Mixed Conducting Oxide Electrolyte

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: It is generally assumed that oxygen potential in a thin oxide electrolyte follows a linear distribution between electrodes. Jacobsen and Mogensen have shown, however, that this is not the case for thin zirconia membranes in solid oxide electrochemical cells. Here we demonstrate that there is a ubiquitous oxygen potential transition rooted in the p-type/n-type transition of electronic conductivity inside mixed conducting oxides, and that the transition is extremely sensitive to electrode potential and current density. It is also remarkably sensitive to the conductivity ratio of electrons and holes, as well as their association with lattice oxygens and vacancies, which tends to increase the oxygen flow. Direct evidence of a sharp oxygen potential transition has been found in an equally sharp grain size transition in electrically loaded zirconia. More broadly speaking, the oxygen potential transition is akin to a first-order phase transition. Therefore, it will suffer interface instability, especially in high-current-density devices. These findings provide new opportunities to understand several disparate observations in the literature, from microstructural degradation and stress distribution in solid oxide fuel/electrolyzer cells, to field-assisted sintering, to conducting filaments in resistance memory, to dendrite formation in electrochemical cells.
title: Misesian Interventionism: the Text, the Aftermath and the Entangled Political Economy
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2020

description: In his magnum opus economic treatise Human Action, Ludwig von Mises makes thepeculiar prediction: “…yet the age of interventionism is reaching its end. Interventionism has exhausted all its potentialities and must disappear.” As this prediction bears no semblance to our current world, a thorough examination of the facts was in order. Chapter 1 serves as a history of thought on the Misesian critique of interventionism. In effect, what I develop is not simply a definition of Misesian interventionism, but a definition of the system of interventionism recognizable as Misesian. This chapter also follows the evolution of Mises’ critique of interventionism from some of his earliest writings through the publishing of Human Action in 1949. In order to understand and appreciate this evolution, both a biographical sketch and historical contextual elements are presented to situate Mises’ contributions in time and space, including establishing his lineage amongst classical liberal economists. In chapter two, I evaluate the accuracy of Mises’ claim (“the MisesianPrediction”) that the end of interventionism was near in 1949. In order to do this, I develop the Misesian facets of interventionism, and then explicate the mechanisms through which Mises believed these facets would lead either to the rejection or acceptance of socialism. Within this chapter, I introduce the theory of the Misesian Age of Interventionism, a temporal period that Mises loosely defines over the course of Human Action. To my knowledge, only one other pair of researchers has specifically developed the term “age of interventionism” in an economic context, describing roughly the same temporal period Mises was contemplating. I argue that not only is the Misesian Prediction often misinterpreted, but also that the perceived fragility of the “third way” often attributed to Mises is overstated. Chapter three reimagines some of the themes of the Misesian critique ofinterventionism, especially taxation and redistribution, within a Wagnerian Entangled Political Economy. The specific backdrop for my re-imagination is the electoral cycle for the present election year. I argue that the Wagnerian concept of the public policy shell game serves as an excellent model for explaining political candidate behavior. Within this chapter, I present two separate models, the Plausible Shell Game and the Preposterous Shell Game. By examining actual candidate statements, it becomes clear which type of game the candidate is engaged in, with preference granted (by voters) to those politicians that engage in games that plausibly may affect the macro-variables stated. The playing of such games leads to a discussion of perverse emergent orders and whether or not voters prefer individual freedom over collective action.

description: In a globalised world, a people’s self-determination is not primarily affected by policy-making in the national context but largely also by decisions made at the transnational level. Understanding self-determination as a human right and underlining the interdependencies between self-determination and participation, hence, 1) assuring self-determination is not only in the hands of the nation-states and 2) dealing with questions of participation is thus not only an issue to be solved at the national level. These circumstances hold also true for the case of the Sámi people as the only Indigenous people within the EU and policy-making at the level of the European Union (EU): EU policies are impacting Sámi livelihoods and not only the EU Member States but the EU itself has signed international standards on the rights of Indigenous peoples. Although both criteria, affectedness and the right to self-determination, would argue for Sámi participation at the EU level, I identify participation gaps in the analysis of the type of access Sámi organisation have to EU policy-making. Based on a qualitative case study design, I analyse different forms of participation and formalisation as well as their processes within Sámi-EU relations to address my research questions ‘To what extent and how do Sámi-EU relations enable Sámi participation in EU policy-making?’ With view to the population of cases of Indigenous peoples’ participation in transnational policy-making, I also draw broader conclusions beyond the case of Sámi-EU relations.
Solution-processed lead-free perovskite optoelectronics: fabrication, characterisation and routes towards higher stability
Creators: name: Lanzetta López, Luis Alejandro
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: Hybrid lead (Pb) halide perovskites have emerged as greatly promising materials for future optoelectronics, although the toxicity of Pb is currently a major roadblock to the commercialisation of this novel technology. For this reason, less toxic, lead-free perovskite alternatives are of great interest, being hybrid tin (Sn) halide perovskites the highest performing option. Nevertheless, Sn2+ spontaneously oxidises in air to Sn4+, which causes poor stability and excessive non-radiative recombination in these materials. Hence, addressing these issues is needed for further advances in Sn perovskite technologies. This thesis explores the fabrication and characterisation of solution-processed Sn perovskite thin films for light-emitting and photovoltaic applications. Particularly, this work aims to find routes towards higher stability, gain understanding of degradation processes and elucidate the charge separation and recombination dynamics in these systems. In the first part of this work, we report 2D (PEA)2SnIxBr4-x (PEA ≡ phenylethylammonium) tuneable visible emitters with higher intrinsic stability and superior photophysical properties than conventional 3D Sn perovskites. As a proof of principle, we achieve red electroluminescent devices based on (PEA)2SnI4, elucidating a viable path towards more stable Sn perovskite optoelectronics. Next, we reveal the link between SnI4 impurities in SnI2 perovskite precursors and the degradation of (PEA)0.2(FA)0.8SnI3 (FA ≡ formamidinium) films employed in solar cells. We show that SnI4, also a product of the O2-induced degradation of Sn perovskite, can quickly evolve in ambient conditions into I2, which is found to further oxidise perovskite to more SnI4 and establish a cyclic degradation mechanism. With this knowledge, we provide important solar cell design rules to contribute towards the stabilisation of Sn perovskite. Lastly, charge recombination dynamics in TiO2/Perovskite/Spiro-OMeTAD junctions is studied via Transient Absorption Spectroscopy by employing several 2D/3D Sn perovskite absorbers. Interfacial charge separation at these interfaces is found to be limited by the 2D character of the perovskite, which emphasises the impact of carefully controlling the 2D/3D ratio to achieve efficient Sn perovskite solar cells.

description: Kernel methods on discrete domains have shown great promise for many challenging data types, for instance, biological sequence data and molecular structure data. Scalable kernel methods like Support Vector Machines may offer good predictive performances but do not intrinsically provide uncertainty estimates. In contrast, probabilistic kernel methods like Gaussian Processes offer uncertainty estimates in addition to good predictive performance but fall short in terms of scalability. While the scalability of Gaussian processes can be improved using sparse inducing point approximations, the selection of these inducing points remains challenging. We explore different techniques for selecting inducing points on discrete domains, including greedy selection, determinantal point processes, and simulated annealing. We find that simulated annealing, which can select inducing points that are not in the training set, can perform competitively with support vector machines and full Gaussian processes on synthetic data, as well as on challenging real-world DNA sequence data.

description: We present ten high-precision light curves of four transits in the XO-1 planetary system, obtained using $u$, $g$, $r$, redshifted H$α$, $I$ and $z$ filters. We use these to measure the physical properties, orbital ephemeris, and a transmission spectrum of the planet covering the full optical wavelength range. We augment this with published HST/WFC3 observations to construct a transmission spectrum of the planet covering 0.37 to 1.65 $μ$m. Our best-fitting model to this spectrum is for a H$_2$/He-rich atmosphere containing water (3.05$σ$ confidence), nitrogen-bearing molecules NH$_3$ and HCN (1.5$σ$) and patchy cloud (1.3$σ$). We find that adding the optical to the near-infrared data does not lead to more precise constraints on the planetary atmosphere in this case. We conduct a detailed investigation into the effect of stellar limb darkening on our results, concluding that the choice of limb darkening law and coefficients is unimportant; such conclusions may not hold for other systems so should be reassessed for all high-quality datasets. The planet radius we measure in the $g$-band is anomalously low and should be investigated with future observations at a higher spectral resolution. From the measured times of transit we determine an improved orbital ephemeris, calculate a lower limit on the modified stellar tidal quality factor of $Q_\star^{\,\prime} > 10^{5.6}$, and rule out a previously postulated sinusoidal variation in the transit times.

Efficient, Scalable, and Resilient Vehicle-Centric Certificate Revocation List Distribution in VANETs

Subjects: subject: Cryptography and Security (cs.CR)

description: In spite of progress in securing Vehicular Communication (VC) systems, there is no consensus on how to distribute Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs). The main challenges lie exactly in (i) crafting an efficient and timely distribution of CRLs for numerous anonymous credentials, pseudonyms, (ii) maintaining strong privacy for vehicles prior to revocation events, even with honest-but-curious system entities, (iii) and catering to computation and communication constraints of on-board units with intermittent connectivity to the infrastructure. Relying on peers to distribute the CRLs is a double-edged sword: abusive peers could "pollute" the process, thus degrading the timely CRLs distribution. In this paper, we propose a vehicle-centric solution that addresses all these challenges and thus closes a gap in the literature. Our scheme radically reduces CRL distribution overhead: each vehicle receives CRLs corresponding only to its region of operation and its actual trip duration. Moreover, a "fingerprint" of CRL 'pieces' is attached to a subset of (verifiable) pseudonyms for fast CRL 'piece' validation (while mitigating resource depletion attacks abusing the CRL distribution). Our experimental evaluation shows that our scheme is efficient, scalable, dependable, and practical: with no more than 25 KB/s of traffic load, the latest CRL can be delivered to 95% of the vehicles in a region (50x50 KM) within 15s, i.e., more than 40 times faster than the state-of-the-art. Overall, our scheme is a comprehensive solution that complements standards and can catalyze the deployment of secure and privacy-protecting VC systems.

Rethinking market impact: quantitative analysis of trade execution costs
Creators: name: Capponi, Francesco
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: This thesis is a quantitative study of the notion of 'market impact' and develops a new quantitative framework to understand the main determinants of execution costs. In the first part, we develop a market-microstructure model in which the market impact of an order is a latent variable that depends on the aggregate activity of the order book, as summarised by the order flow imbalance. The model stems from the observation that at each point in time, the liquidity in the limit order book available for immediate execution is very small, and most of the liquidity remains hidden. We empirically test this model using the Kalman filter and show that it delivers good out-of-sample forecasts. The second part is devoted to the identification of the main determinants of execution costs. Using a large dataset of institutional investors' transactions in the US equity market, we find that, for orderly trade executions, the main determinant of execution costs is not the 'market impact' of trades but price volatility. Our causal analysis shows that price changes during execution are mainly driven by the aggregate order flow imbalance, rather then by the characteristics of individual trades, and that causal claims that directly relate individual trade characteristics with execution costs may be spurious. In the third part, we investigate the notion of cross-impact. We show that the observed correlation between the returns of an asset and the order flow of other assets is due to the presence of common components in order flow across stocks, which may naturally arise from multi-asset trading strategies. We provide empirical evidence from order flow and returns of NASDAQ-100 stocks to supports this explanation. This leads to a parsimonious approach for causal modelling of multi-asset impact, which does not require introducing any concept of cross impact.

The resulting vacuum moduli space of D-branes is a toric variety which turns out to be a resolved conifold, that is a nodal variety in $\C^4$. This has the implication that all the corresponding phases of Type--II string theory are geometrical and are accessible to the D-branes, since they are related by flops.

description: In this paper we will explain an interesting phenomenon which occurs in general nonassociative algebras. More precisely, we establish that any finite-dimensional commutative nonassociative algebra over a field satisfying an identity always contains $\frac12$ in its Peirce spectrum. We also show that the corresponding $\frac12$-Peirce module satisfies the Jordan type fusion laws. The present approach is based on an explicit representation of the Peirce polynomial for an arbitrary algebra identity. To work with fusion rules, we develop the concept of the Peirce symbol and show that it can be explicitly determined for a wide class of algebras. We also illustrate our approach by further applications to genetic algebras and algebra of minimal cones (the so-called Hsiang algebras).

Linear and nonlinear stability of a quasi-geostrophic mixing layer subject to a uniform background shear
Creators: name: Biancofiore, Luca

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)

description: The aim of this work is to shed light by revisiting - through the kernel-wave (KW) perspective - the breakdown of a quasi-geostrophic (QG) mixing layer (or vortex strip/filament) in atmosphere under the influence of a background shear. The QG mixing layer is modelled with a family of quasi-Rayleigh velocity profiles in which the potential vorticity (PV) is constant in patches. In the KW perspective a counter-propagating Rossby wave (CRW) is created at each PV edge, i.e. the edge where a PV jump is located. The important parameters of our study are (i) the vorticity of the uniform shear m and (ii) the Rossby deformation radius Ld, which indicates how far the pressure perturbations can vertically propagate. While an adverse shear (m < 0) stabilizes the system, a favorable shear (m > 0) strengthens the instability. This is due to how the background shear affects the two uncoupled CRWs by shifting the optimal phase difference towards large (small) wavenumber when m < 0 (m > 0). As the QG environment is introduced a general weakening of the instability is noticed, particularly for m > 0...
A geometrically nonlinear approach for the aeroelastic analysis of commercial transport aircraft
Creators: name: Cea Esteban, Alvaro
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: A new approach is proposed that seamlessly integrates with current industrial aeroelastic load analysis methods and aims to bring together the complexity of computational models in the production environment of aircraft (normally enhanced with experimental data) and the inherent difficulties associated with geometrically nonlinear analysis. Motivation stems from next-generation, ultra-efficient aircraft exhibiting high aspect-ratio wings. Efficient incorporation of geometrically-nonlinear effects to standard (linear) approaches –based on generic Finite-Element models and Aerodynamic Influence Coefficient matrices– is accomplished through a two-step process: firstly, a reduction of the structure through dynamic condensation techniques on nodes along the main load paths of the vehicle; and secondly, a manipulation of the resulting condensed stiffness and mass matrices, their linear normal modes, and the nodal coordinates provide the nonlinear modal coefficients of the intrinsic beam equations that describe the dynamics of these load paths. The original model is preserved and effectively augmented with geometric stiffening, variations to the inertia and shortening effects, and aerodynamic follower forces (which naturally rotate in a formulation cast in material coordinates). The approach further caters to multibody and trajectory constraints using Lagrange multipliers on the velocity level set. Structural and aeroelastic static and dynamic solutions are presented, including rigid-body and multibody dynamics, using the resulting nonlinear modal description. Comparison with full FE calculations of a representative wing illustrates both the accuracy and efficiency of the formulation. Excellent approximation of the flutter instability of a clamped wing is obtained under linear assumptions, while limit-cycle oscillations are found due to structural nonlinearities. Studies on a large transport aircraft configuration show the importance of nonlinear effects on the analysis of manoeuvres, trimmed flight, and dynamic gust loads. Moreover, the flutter speed of the airplane decreases as deflections from a steady angle-of-attack increase; and a first exploration into movable wing-tips is carried out within the multibody framework.

description: Earning a degree and playing at the NCAA Division I level are both incredible accomplishments and accolades. Both require hard work, dedication, and commitment. However at many institutions, athletics outweighs the value of academics, and student athletes succumb to their preferred degree being put on the backburner due to the high intensity and demand of their athletic schedule. With the use of Crawford, Jackson, and Godbey’s (1991) leisure constraint model and Raymore’s (2002) facilitator model, this study looked at constraining and facilitating factors that impacted Division I athletes’ decisions to major in their preferred academic area. This study used a mixed methods approach and looked at former Division I student athletes who participated in nonrevenue generating sports. The study found that the majority of Division I student athletes in non-revenue generating sports are majoring in their preferred choice of major; however there are multiple constraints that arose in their degree choice selection. Academic clustering was also found to be evident amongst seven schools within the Atlantic 10 Conference.

description: Weak vector boson scattering (VBS) at the LHC provides an excellent source of information on the structure of quartic gauge couplings and possible effects of physics beyond the SM in electroweak symmetry breaking. Parameterizing deviations from the SM within an effective field theory at tree level, the dimension-8 operators, which are needed for sufficiently general modeling, lead to unphysical enhancements of cross sections within the accessible energy range of the LHC. Preservation of unitarity limits is needed for phenomenological studies of the $VVjj$ events which signify VBS. Here we develop a numerical unitarization scheme for the full off-shell VBS processes and apply it to same-sign $W$ scattering, i.e. processes like $qq\to qqW^+W^+$. The scheme is implemented within the Monte Carlo program VBFNLO, including leptonic decay of the weak bosons and NLO QCD corrections. Distributions differentiating between higher dimensional operators are discussed.

Towards improved statistical analyses of the cosmic dawn and epoch of reionisation
Creators: name: Binnie, Thomas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: We are witnessing the evolution of cosmology into a precision science. When the universe cools after the big bang, hydrogen atoms eventually form releasing the cosmic microwave background. Measurements of this, combined with direct observations of fully formed galaxies through telescopes inform us about the seeding of structure across the cosmos. In-between these milestones there is little-to-no observational data, particularly regarding the first stars and their growth into mature galaxies. Primordial hydrogen must eventually progress into everything we see today, and we know from local observations of galaxies that the remaining hydrogen must also become ionised again. A new generation of radio telescopes aim to detect the cosmological 21cm line of these hydrogen atoms in order to observe these events directly. This will provide unmatched insight into the formation of the first stars and their progression into the early galaxies responsible for reionisation. As never seen before, these new instruments will provide tomographical maps of our universe that fill in a significant proportion of the unobserved universe. Scientists across the globe hope to witness the cosmic dawn within the next decade. This work is focused on improving the statistical analyses techniques that probe the first star formation and when the early universe is being reionised - the cosmic dawn and epoch of reionisation respectively. The majority of this work looks at Bayesian model selection, which is a robust method for quantifying how well models fit observations. We apply it within the context of high redshift 21cm power spectrum observations, comparing a variety of scale and morpho- logical implementations of the reionisation process. We also use it to look into distinguishing effects caused by the remnants of the first stars and the statistical benefits of including UV observations. We then turn to improving the likelihood statistic, required for Bayesian analyses. The Morlet transform is implemented as an alternative to the Fourier transform within the power spectrum to enable the whole observational light-cone to be analysed at once. Bayesian analyses are incredibly promising and with this work we are a step closer to statistical machinery that provides objective conclusions about the quality of models when presented with data. Synergy between observational methods is important to maximise the discerning power of any Bayesian method. Now that observations are becoming more precise within cosmology, we can begin to constrain primordial astrophysics.

description: Mass perturbations of the twisted N=4 supersymmetric gauge theory considered by Vafa and Witten to test S-duality are studied for the case of Kahler four-manifolds. It is shown that the resulting mass-perturbed theory can be regarded as an equivariant extension associated to a U(1) symmetry of the twisted theory, which is only present for Kahler manifolds. In addition, it is shown that the partition function, the only topological invariant of the theory, remains invariant under the perturbation.

Inclusive Sigma+ and Sigma0 Production in Hadronic Z Decays
Creators: name: L3 Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: We report on measurements of the inclusive production rate of Sigma+ and Sigma0 baryons in hadronic Z decays collected with the L3 detector at LEP. The Sigma+ baryons are detected through the decay Sigma+ -> p pi0, while the Sigma0 baryons are detected via the decay mode Sigma0 -> Lambda gamma. The average numbers of Sigma+ and Sigma0 per hadronic Z decay are measured to be: < N_Sigma+ > + < N_Sigma+~ > = 0.114 +/- 0.011 (stat) +/- 0.009 (syst), < N_Sigma0 > + < N_Sigma0~ > = 0.095 +/- 0.015 (stat) +/- 0.013 (syst). These rates are found to be higher than the predictions from Monte Carlo hadronization models and analytical parameterizations of strange baryon production.

The structural glass transition and the entropy of the metastable states
Creators: name: Monasson, R.
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)

description: The metastable states of a glass are counted by adding a weak pinning field which explicitly breaks the ergodicity. Their entropy, that is the logarithm of their number, is extensive in a range of temperatures $T_G < T < T_C$ only, where $T_G$ and $T_C$ correspond to the ideal calorimetric and kinetic glass transition temperatures respectively. An explicit self-consistent computation of the metastable states entropy for a non disordered model is given.

Drag enhancement and drag reduction in viscoelastic flow

description: Creeping flow of polymeric fluid without inertia exhibits elastic instabilities and elastic turbulence accompanied by drag enhancement due to elastic stress produced by flow-stretched polymers. However, in inertia-dominated flow at high $\mbox{Re}$ and low fluid elasticity $El$, a reduction in turbulent frictional drag is caused by an intricate competition between inertial and elastic stresses. Here, we explore the effect of inertia on the stability of viscoelastic flow in a broad range of control parameters $El$ and $(\mbox{Re}, \mbox{Wi})$. We present the stability diagram of observed flow regimes in $\mbox{Wi}-\mbox{Re}$ coordinates and find that instabilities' onsets show unexpectedly non-monotonic dependence on $El$. Further, three distinct regions in the diagram are identified based on $El$. Strikingly, for high elasticity fluids we discover a complete relaminarization of flow at Reynolds number of the order of unity, different from a well-known turbulent drag reduction. These counterintuitive effects may be explained by a finite polymer extensibility and a suppression of vorticity at high $\mbox{Wi}$. Our results call for further theoretical and numerical development to uncover the role of inertial effect on elastic turbulence in a viscoelastic flow.

The effectiveness of water treatment processes against schistosome cercariae
Creators: name: Braun, Laura
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Schistosomiasis is a water-based tropical disease that affects millions of people in marginalised communities. It is acquired through contact with freshwater that contains cercariae, the parasite larvae that lead to schistosomiasis. Whilst treatment with the drug praziquantel is effective, it does not prevent reinfection which is common among communities living in endemic regions. These often have no choice but to rely on cercaria-contaminated freshwater for their daily water activities. Water treatment for schistosomiasis control seeks to eliminate viable cercariae, thereby providing safe alternative water supplies for recreational and domestic activities. This research explored what is known about the effectiveness of water treatment processes against schistosome cercariae. A systematic review concluded that currently available information was insufficient for providing evidence-based water treatment design recommendations, and that standard protocols for assessing cercaria viability did not exist. Therefore, a novel fluorescence assay was developed that can determine the viability of cercariae in water with an accuracy of at least 92.2% and be used to quantify the effectiveness of water treatment processes. Furthermore, the effectiveness of chlorine against S. mansoni cercariae was tested in laboratory and field settings. The results have unveiled that cercariae are sensitive to chlorine (CT2-log of 30 mg·min/l) and that their sensitivity to chlorine increases with age, i.e. the time since being shed from the host snail. The research has documented the physical effect of chlorine on cercariae, shedding light on how these parasite larvae are inactivated. The recommended CT value can be used to disinfect cercaria-infested water in communities that lack safe alternative water sources, potentially after application of safety factors where needed. The design, implementation and sustainable use of safe water infrastructure will require strong interdisciplinary collaborations in the future, but if successful, has the potential for contributing towards the elimination of this disease as a public health concern.

The fully frustrated XY model revisited: A new universality class

description: The two-dimensional ($2d$) fully frustrated Planar Rotator model on a square lattice has been the subject of a long controversy due to the simultaneous $Z_2$ and $O(2)$ symmetry existing in the model. The $O(2)$ symmetry being responsible for the Berezinskii - Kosterlitz - Thouless transition ($BKT$) while the $Z_2$ drives an Ising-like transition. There are arguments supporting two possible scenarios, one advocating that the loss of $Ising$ and $BKT$ order take place at the same temperature $T_{t}$ and the other that the $Z_2$ transition occurs at a higher temperature than the $BKT$ one. In the first case an immediate consequence is that this model is in a new universality class. Most of the studies take hand of some order parameter like the stiffness, Binder's cumulant or magnetization to obtain the transition temperature. Considering that the transition temperatures are obtained, in general, as an average over the estimates taken about several of those quantities, it is difficult to decide if they are describing the same or slightly separate transitions. In this paper we describe an iterative method based on the knowledge of the complex zeros of the energy probability distribution to study the critical behavior of the system. The method is general with advantages over most conventional techniques since it does not need to identify any order parameter \emph{a priori}. The critical temperature and exponents can be obtained with good precision. We apply the method to study the Fully Frustrated Planar Rotator ($PR$) and the Anisotropic Heisenberg ($XY$) models in two dimensions. We show that both models are in a new universality class with $T_{PR}=0.45286(32)$ and $T_{XY}=0.36916(16)$ and the transition exponent $ν=0.824(30)$ ($\frac{1}ν=1.22(4)$).
