Abstract

An exactly solvable d-dimentional model of a structural phase transition, confined to a geometry Ld−d× ∞d are subjected to periodic boundary conditions, is considered in the low-temperature region. It is shown that in this region quantum effects are essential and that borderline dimensionalities between which finite-size scaling holds do not coincide with the lower and upper critical dimensionalities for the bulk system. A generalized version of the dimensional cross-over rule is established, i.e., the finite-size scaling behaviour of a d-dimensional system finite in d∗ = d−d' directions in the quantum limit is equivalent to the finite-size scaling behaviour of the classical (d + 1)-dimensional system, also finite in d∗ directions.
