We discuss fluctuation-induced forces in a system described by a continuous Landau-Ginzburg model with a quenched disorder field, defined in a $d$-dimensional slab geometry $\mathbb R^{d-1}\times[0,L]$. A series representation for the…
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…
Fluctuation-induced forces occur generically when long-ranged correlations (e.g., in fluids) are confined by external bodies. In classical systems, such correlations require specific conditions, e.g., a medium close to a critical point. On…
Thermal fluctuations in non-equilibrium steady states generically lead to power law decay of correlations for conserved quantities. Embedded bodies which constrain fluctuations in turn experience fluctuation induced forces. We compute these…
We calculate thermal fluctuation properties: volume-averaged order parameter, Helmholtz free and internal energies, and their variances of a supersaturated disordered phase in the Gibbs canonical ensemble for an asymmetric (third-order…
Landau theory relates phase transitions to the minimization of the Landau functional (e.g., free energy functional), which is expressed as a power series of the order parameter. It has been shown that the critical behavior of certain…
Surface and size effect on the order parameter fluctuations and critical phenomena in the intensively studied 3D-confined nanosized systems with long-range order was not considered theoretically, while the calculations for bulk samples and…
The effect of thermally generated bulk stochastic forces on the statistical growth dynamics of forwards bifurcating propagating macroscopic patterns is compared with the influence of fluctuations at the boundary of a semiinfinite system,…
Mixed order transitions are those which show a discontinuity of the order parameter as well as a divergent correlation length. We show that the behaviour of the order parameter correlation function along the transition line of mixed order…
Non-equilibrium stationary fluctuations may exhibit a special symmetry called fluctuation relations (FR). Here, we show that this property is always satisfied by the subtraction of two random and independent variables related by a…
The quench dynamics of systems exhibiting cooperative or almost competitive orders in equilibrium are explored using Ginzburg-Landau theory plus fluctuations. We show that when the renormalization of the free energy by fluctuations is taken…
We investigate the dynamics of superconducting fluctuations in the attractive three-dimensional Hubbard model after a quench from the disordered phase to the ordered regime. While the long time evolution is well understood in terms of…
Within the Ginzburg-Landau functional framework for the superconducting transition, we analyze the fluctuation-driven shift of the critical temperature. In addition to the order parameter fluctuations, we also take into account the…
We investigate a boundary-driven Ginzburg-Landau dynamics with long-range interactions. In the hydrodynamic limit, the macroscopic evolution is governed by a fractional heat equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions, while the…
We study a quasi-2D classical Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson effective field theory in the presence of quenched disorder in which incommensurate charge-density wave and superconducting orders are intertwined. The disorder precludes long-range…
The paper assesses stationary probability distributions in out of equilibrium systems. In the phenomenology proposed, no free energy can be well defined. Fluctuations of Landau free energy couplings arise when the intrinsic chemical…
We expose the theoretical mechanisms underlying disorder-induced nematicity in systems exhibiting strong fluctuations or ordering in the nematic channel. Our analysis consists of a symmetry-based Ginzburg-Landau approach and associated…
The dynamical phase transition of a system with two coexisting competing order parameters is studied using the time-dependent-Ginzburg-Landau framework. The dynamics are induced by parameters capturing the physics of driving the system with…
Motivated by a number of recent experimental and computational studies of the dynamics of fluids plunged in quenched-disordered external fields, we report on a theoretical investigation of this topic within the framework of the…
We address a mean-field zero-temperature Ginzburg-Landau, or \phi^4, model subjected to quenched additive noise, which has been used recently as a framework for analyzing collective effects induced by diversity. We first make use of a…
