We present a field theoretic renormalization group study for the critical behaviour of a uniformly driven diffusive system with quenched disorder, which is modelled by different kinds of potential barriers between sites. Due to their…
Starting from an ideal crystalline state, we numerically study a nonequilibrium dynamical order- disorder transition promoted by the application of a periodic shearing protocol at low temperatures in model systems in two and three…
We investigate the shrinkage induced breakup of thin layers of heterogeneous materials attached to a substrate, a ubiquitous natural phenomenon with a wide range of potential applications. Focusing on the evolution of the fragment ensemble,…
Our previous molecular dynamic simulation studies of simple two-dimensional (2D) systems \cite{matt_big} suggested that both geometrical defects (localized, large-amplitude deviations from hexagonal ordering) and topological defects…
Disclinations, first observed in mesomorphic phases, are relevant to a number of ill-ordered condensed matter media, with continuous symmetries or frustrated order. They also appear in polycrystals at the edges of grain boundaries. They are…
Relaxation processes of dislocation systems are studied by two-dimensional dynamical simulations. In order to capture generic features, three physically different scenarios were studied and power-law decays found for various physical…
We analyze the critical gas-liquid phase behavior of arbitrary fluid mixtures in their coexistence region. We focus on the setting relevant for polydisperse colloids, where the overall density and composition of the system are being…
A surface layer ("skin") that is functionally and structurally different from the bulk was found in single crystals of BiFeO3. Impedance analysis indicates that a previously reported anomaly at T* ~ 275 \pm 5 ^/circC corresponds to a phase…
Topological defects are the key feature mediating 2D phase transitions. However, both resolution and tunability have been lacking to access the dynamics of the transitions. With dynamic Kerr microscopy, we directly capture the melting of a…
Using a simple analytic approach, we study the universal properties of second-order phase transition in holographic superconductor models. We explore a general model in arbitrary dimensions in which the condensation occurs via the…
We present a general scaling theory for the surface critical behavior of non-equilibrium systems with phase transitions into absorbing states. The theory allows for two independent surface exponents which satisfy generalized hyperscaling…
Order parameter fluctuations for the two dimensional Ising model in the region of the critical temperature are presented. A locus of temperatures T*(L) and of magnetic fields B*(L) are identified, for which the probability density function…
The temperature dependence of the diffuse scattering fine structure from disordered equiatomic CuAu was studied using {\it in situ} x-ray scattering. In contrast to Cu$_3$Au the diffuse peak splitting in CuAu was found to be relatively…
Deformation band patterning in single crystals is investigated using a finite strain crystal viscoplasticity model based on the evolution of dislocation densities. In the presence of strong latent hardening and weak rate dependence, the…
For systems exhibiting a second-order phase transition with a spontaneously broken continuous O(N)-symmetry at low temperature, we give a criterion for judging at which temperature T_K long-range directional fluctuations of the order field…
We discuss deep inelastic scattering at low $x$ as a critical phenomenon in 2+1 space-time dimensions. QCD (SU2) near the light cone becomes a critical theory in the limit of $\lim x \to 0$ with a correlation mass $m(x) \propto x^{\nu/2}$.…
We numerically investigate the meniscus-guided coating of a binary fluid mixture containing a solute and a volatile solvent that phase separates via spinodal decomposition. Motivation is the evaporation-driven deposition of material during…
We characterize the order-disorder transition in a model lipid bilayer using molecular dynamics simulations. We find that the ordered phase is hexatic. In particular, in-plane structures possess a finite concentration of 5-7 disclination…
Motivated by the interplay between 2D and 3D scaling signatures observed in unconventional layered superconductors, we present a systematic Monte Carlo study of the three-dimensional classical XY model with anisotropic in-plane…
These notes are devoted to the statistical mechanics of directed polymers interacting with one-dimensional spatial defects. We are interested in particular in the situation where frozen disorder is present. These polymer models undergo a…
