Convergent Approximation for the 2-Body Correlation Function in an Interface

Statistical Mechanics 2009-10-31 v1 Soft Condensed Matter

Abstract

A convergent approximation is proposed for a mean field density-density correlation function in a system with a two-phase interface. It is based on a fourth-order expansion of the Hamiltonian in terms of fluctuations around the equilibrium profile. The approach is illustrated by one and three dimensional calculations for systems characterized by the Ginzburg-Landau functional.
