Many materials containing colloids or polymers are polydisperse: They comprise particles with properties (such as particle diameter, charge, or polymer chain length) that depend continuously on one or several parameters. This review…
The climate system is a forced, dissipative, nonlinear, complex and heterogeneous system that is out of thermodynamic equilibrium. The system exhibits natural variability on many scales of motion, in time as well as space, and it is subject…
Using ultrashort laser pulses, it has become possible to probe the dynamics of long-range order in solids on microscopic timescales. In the conventional description of symmetry-broken phases within time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory, the…
A consistent perturbation theory expansion is presented for phase-ordering kinetics in the case of a nonconserved scalar order parameter. At zeroth order in this expansion one obtains the theory due to Ohta, Jasnow and Kawasaki (OJK). At…
We discuss a new mechanism of drop coarsening due to coalescence only, which describes the late stages of phase separation in fluids. Depending on the volume fraction of the minority phase, we identify two different regimes of growth, where…
Some of the most important theoretical and phenomenological aspects of the pinch technique are presented, and several recent developments are briefly reviewed.
We use extreme value statistics to study the dynamics of coarsening in aggregation-fragmentation models which form condensates in the steady state. The dynamics is dominated by the formation of local condensates on a coarsening length scale…
I review recent results concerning the shape of drifting subpulse patterns, and the relationship to model predictions. While a variety of theoretical models exist for drifting subpulses, observers typically think in terms of a…
Disordered systems have grown in importance in the past decades, with similar phenomena manifesting themselves in many different physical systems. Because of the difficulty of the topic, theoretical progress has mostly emerged from…
This chapter provides an introduction to collider phenomenology, explaining how theoretical concepts are translated into experimental analyses at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Beginning with the principles of collider operation and…
A new theory of edge waves over a slowly varying depth.
Localization phenomenon is an important research field in condensed matter physics. However, due to the complexity and subtlety of disordered syestems, new localization phenomena always emerge unexpectedly. For example, it is generally…
Brief introduction to the theory of surface phase transitions at planar interfaces, such as wetting phenomena (in Czech).
We provide a brief survey of quantum statistical characterisations of order, disorder and coherence in systems of many degrees of freedom. Here, order and coherence are described in terms of symmetry breakdown, while disorder is described…
The kinetic mechanisms underlying bottom-up assembly of colloidal particles have been widely investigated in efforts to control crystallization pathways and to direct growth into targeted superstructures for applications including photonic…
Periodically driven dynamics of a particle moving in the field Coulomb plus confining potential is treated for one and three dimensional cases. Critical value of the external field strength at which chaotization will occur is evaluated…
The general form of the amplitude equations for a hexagonal pattern including spatial terms is discussed. At the lowest order we obtain the phase equation for such patterns. The general expression of the diffusion coefficients is given and…
The deposition dynamics of particles (or the growth of a rigid crystal) on a disordered substrate at a finite deposition rate is explored. We begin with an equation of motion which includes, in addition to the disorder, the periodic…
This work is divided in two parts. In the first three sections we review the meson physics phenomenology, highlighting the history of the pseudoscalar multiplet mass spectra research. Then we propose a new approach for the mass mixing…
In this paper conceptual points regarding electrons elastic (Kapitza-Dirac effect) and inelastic diffraction effect on the different type slowed electromagnetic wave structures/light gratings are considered. From the unified point of view…
