When a particle of mass m moves on the x-axis in a potential of the form V(x) = kx2, it performs simple harmonic motion. The corresponding time period is proportional to , as can be seen easily using dimensional analysis. However, the motion of a particle can be periodic even when its potential energy increases on both sides of x = 0 in a way different from kx2 and its total energy is such that the particle does not escape to infinity. Consider a particle of mass m moving on the x-axis. Its potential energy is V(x) = x4 ( > 0) for | x | near the origin and becomes a constant equal to V0 for (see figure).

Electrical resistance of certain materials, known as superconductors, changes abruptly from a non-zero value to zero as their temperature is lowered below a critical temperature Tc(0). An interesting property of superconductors is that their critical temperature becomes smaller than Tc(0), if they are placed in a magnetic field, that is, the critical temperature Tc(B) is a function of the magnetic field strength B. The dependence of Tc(B) on B is shown in the figure.
