PHASE TRANSITIONS AT INTERFACES

open access: yesLe Journal de Physique Colloques, 1989
The interface between two phases may exhibit significant structural changes if one of them comes close to a phase transition in its bulk. Surface critical phenomena, critical adsorption, and wetting phenomena, like e.g. surface melting or surface induced disorder, can occur.

Quantum phase transitions

open access: yesPhysics World, 1999
Nature abounds with phase transitions. The boiling and freezing of water are everyday examples of phase transitions, as are more exotic processes such as superconductivity and superfluidity. The universe itself is thought to have passed through several phase transitions as the high-temperature plasma formed by the big bang cooled to form the world as ...

Fluctuations At Phase Transitions

open access: yes, 1994
We use the closed time-path formalism to calculate fluctuations at phase transitions, both in and out of equilibrium. Specifically, we consider the creation of vortices by fluctuations, of relevance to the early universe and to $^{4}He$ superfluidity. (Invited talk to Nato Advanced Research Workshop on Electroweak Physics and the Early Universe, Sintra

Chiral Phase Transitions

open access: yes, 2001
We show that melting the quark mass, the scalar $σ$ mass and the quark condensate leads uniquely to the quark-level SU(2) linear $σ$ model field theory. Upon thermalization, the chiral phase transition curve requires $T_c =2f^{CL}_π\approx 180 MeV$ when $μ= 0$, while the critical chemical potential is $μ_c =m_q\approx 325 MeV$.

Phases and phase transitions of the sphingolipids

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, 1995
LIPIDAT is a computerized database providing access to the wealth of information scattered throughout the literature concerning synthetic and biologically derived polar lipid polymorphic and mesomorphic phase behavior. Herein, we present a review of the LIPIDAT data subset referring to sphingolipids together with an analysis of these data.

Plasma phase transition

Physics-Uspekhi, 2021
Abstract Recently developed experimental methods for the generation and diagnostics of nonideal plasma and warm dense matter are reviewed. Modern theoretical methods applied to solve the problem of fluid–fluid phase transitions, including the plasma phase transition, are considered.

Phases and phase transitions of the glycoglycerolipids

Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 1994
LIPIDAT is a computerized database providing access to the wealth of information scattered throughout the literature concerning synthetic and biologically derived polar lipid polymorphic and mesomorphic phase behavior. The database is considered comprehensive for glycerophospholipids, glycoglycerolipids, sphingolipids and natural membrane extracts ...
