There are only two ways for solid-state phase transitions to be compliant with thermodynamics: emerging of infinitesimal quantity of the new phase, or infinitesimal "qualitative" change occurring uniformly throughout the bulk at a time. The…
A simplified model is introduced and analysed to show, that for the Landau-Lifshitz equation stable, steady state solutions of domain type exist in ferromagnetic systems, strongly driven by external transverse fields. These dynamic domain…
Orbitally ordered states exhibit unique features which make them a promising platform for exploring the ultrafast dynamics of long-range order in solids: Their free energy typically has multiple discrete minima, and electric laser fields or…
We revisit the equilibrium one-dimensional $\phi^4$ model from the dynamical systems point of view. We find an infinite number of periodic orbits which are computationally stable. At the same time some of the orbits are found to exhibit…
Commensurate-incommensurate change on the one-dimensional S=1 bilinear-biquadratic model (${\cal H}(\alpha)=\sum_i \{{\bf S}_i\cdot {\bf S}_{i+1} +\alpha ({\bf S}_i\cdot{\bf S}_{i+1})^2\}$) is examined. The gapped Haldane phase has two…
We study the exactly solvable 1D model: the dimerized $XY$ chain with uniform and staggered transverse fields, equivalent upon fermionization to the noninteracting dimerized Kitaev-Majorana chain with modulation. The model has three known…
I review recent work on the ``phase diagram'' of the one-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation for system sizes at which chaos is extensive. Particular attention is paid to a detailed description of the spatiotemporally disordered…
A free-energy minimization approach is used to address the secular & dynamical instabilities & the bifurcations along sequences of rotating, self-gravitating fluid and stellar systems. Our approach stems from the Landau-Ginzburg theory of…

Phase transitions are ubiquitous phenomena, exemplified by the melting of ice and spontaneous magnetization of magnetic material. In general, a phase transition is associated with a symmetry breaking of a system; occurs due to the…
We study the nature of domain walls in an ordered phase in the phase-competing region of two Ising-type order parameters. Considering a two-component $\phi^4$ theory, we show that the domain wall of the ground-state (primary) order…
The order parameters of the magnetic, charge and structural orders at half-doped manganites are identified. A corresponding Landau theory of the phase transitions is formulated. Many structural and thermodynamical behaviors are accounted…
The intricate interplay of structural, charge and spin orders in layered cuprates leads to emergent phenomena, most notably high-temperature superconductivity. However, there is growing awareness that both the structure and electronic…
We study the thermodynamics of clean, layered superconductor/ferromagnet nanostructures using fully self consistent methods to solve the microscopic Bogoliubov-deGennes equations. From these self-consistent solutions the condensation free…
Two sorts of bosons in an optical lattice at commensurate filling factors can form five stable superfluid and insulating groundstates with rich and non-trivial phase diagram. The structure of the groundstate diagram is established by…
The mean-field phase diagram of antiferromagnetic order in t-J model has been examined, using the free energy obtained by Ginzburg-Landau (GL) expansion. We extended the usual GL theory in two ways: First, we have included higher order…
Almost all known high temperature superconductors are cuprates, which can be suitably modelled by the two dimensional Hubbard model. To understand the interplay of various long range properties as antiferromagnetism and superconductivity,…
Almost all normal-incommensurate phase transitions observed experimentally are continuous. We show that there is not any theoretical reason for this general behaviour in perfect crystals. A normal-incommensurate phase transition that is not…

We look at the influence of external fields on systems described by generic free energy functional of the order parameter. The external force may have arbitrary spatial dependence, and the order parameter coupling may be nonlinear. The…
