We investigate the irreversible growth of $(2+1)-$dimensional magnetic thin films under the influence of a transverse temperature gradient, which is maintained by thermal baths across a direction perpendicular to the direction of growth.…
An exhaustive numerical investigation of the growth of magnetic films in confined $(d+1)$-dimensional stripped geometries ($d=1,2$) is carried out by means of extensive Monte Carlo simulations. Thin films in contact with a thermal bath are…
The irreversible growth of magnetic films is studied in three-dimensional confined geometries of size $L\times L\times M$, where $M\gg L$ is the growing direction. Competing surface magnetic fields, applied to opposite corners of the…
We investigate the dissipative dynamics of a quantum critical system in contact with a thermal bath. In analogy with the standard protocol employed to analyze aging, we study the response of a system to a sudden change of the bath…
We investigate the details of pattern formation and transitions between different modulated phases in ultra-thin Fe films on Cu(001). At high temperature, the transitions between the uniform saturated state, the bubble state and the striped…
Generic far-away-from-equilibrium many-body dynamics involve entropy production, and hence are thermodynamically irreversible. Near quantum critical points, an emergent conformal symmetry can impose strong constraints on entropy production…
Structure formation in non-equilibrium steady state conditions is poorly understood. Non-equilibrium steady state can be achieved in a system by maintaining temperature gradient. A class of cross-linked micro-gel particles,…
We study the effects of time-dependent substrate/film temperature in the deposition of a mesoscopically thick film using a statistical model that accounts for diffusion of adatoms without lateral neighbors whose coefficients depend on an…
We study the far-from-equilibrium dynamics of a (2+1)-dimensional superfluid at finite temperature and chemical potential using its holographic description in terms of a gravitational system in 3+1 dimensions. Starting from various initial…
The irreversible growth of a magnetic film with spins having two possible orientations is studied in three-dimensional confined geometries of size $L\times L\times M$, where $M\gg L$ is the growing direction. A competing situation with two…
Recent experiments have demonstrated that the glass transition temperature of thin polymer films can be shifted as compared to the same polymer in the bulk, the amplitude and the sign of this effect depending on the interaction between the…
Nonthermal fixed points are paradigmatic far-from-equilibrium phenomena of relevance to high-energy physics, cosmology, and cold atomic gases. We propose that, despite their intrinsically nonequilibrium nature, nonthermal fixed points give…
Thin superconducting films form a unique platform for geometrically-confined, strongly-interacting electrons. They allow an inherent competition between disorder and superconductivity, which in turn enables the intriguing…
We apply a previously developed asymptotic model (J. Fluid. Mech. 915, A133 (2021)) to study instabilities of free surface films of nanometric thickness on thermally conductive substrates in two and three spatial dimensions. While the…
When applied to binary solutions, thermal gradients lead to the generation of concentration-gradients and thus to inhomogeneous systems. While being known for more than 150 years, the molecular origins for this phenomenon are still debated,…
Recent spin-Seebeck experiments on thin ferromagnetic films apply a temperature difference $\Delta T_{x}$ along the length $x$ and measure a (transverse) voltage difference $\Delta V_{y}$ along the width $y$. The connection between these…
The irreversible growth of a binary mixture under far-from-equilibrium conditions is studied in three-dimensional confined geometries of size $L_x \times L_y \times L_z$, where $L_z \gg L_x = L_y$ is the growing direction. A competing…
A combination of experiments and numerical modeling was used to study the spatial evolution of the ferromagnetic phase transition in a thin film engineered to have a smooth gradient in exchange strength. Mean-field simulations predict, and…
Suppression of the critical temperature in homogeneously disordered superconducting films is a consequence of the disorder-induced enhancement of Coulomb repulsion. We demonstrate that for the majority of thin films studied now this effect…
In this paper we present a mathematical analysis of thin film flow and heat transfer to a laminar liquid film from a horizontal stretching sheet. The flow of thin liquid film and subsequent heat transfer from the stretching surface is…
