Thermal and magnetic effects in a system consisting of thin layers of coupled Ising spins with $S=1/2$ and $S=1$ are considered. The specific heat and the correlation length display maxima at two different temperatures. It is discussed in…

We study the ageing properties of the semi-infinite kinetic spherical model at the critical point and in the ordered low-temperature phase, both for Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. The surface fluctuation-dissipation ratio and…
For well-stirred multiphase fluid systems the mean interface area per unit volume, or "specific interface area" $S_V$, is a significant characteristic of the system state. In particular, it is important for the dynamics of systems of…
There are three fundamental physical processes that gives rise to the morphology of a surface: deposition, surface diffusion and desorption. The characteristics of the interfaces generated by the combination of deposition and surface…
Criticality of chiral phase transition at finite temperature is investigated in a soft-wall AdS/QCD model with $SU_L(N_f)\times SU_R(N_f)$ symmetry, especially for $N_f=2,3$ and $N_f=2+1$. It is shown that in quark mass plane($m_{u/d}-m_s$)…

The interface of two solids in contact introduces a thermal boundary resistance (TBR), which is challenging to measure from experiments. Besides, if the interface is reactive, it can form an intermediate recrystallized or amorphous region,…
