We consider fluid wetting on a corrugated substrate using effective interfacial Hamiltonian theory and show that breaking the translational invariance along the wall can induce an 'unbending' phase transition in addition to unbinding. Both…
A biologically motivated model for spatio-temporal coexistence of two competing species is studied by mean-field theory and numerical simulations. In d>1 dimensions the phase diagram displays an extended region where both species coexist,…
We propose a method to describe the short-distance behavior of an interface fluctuating in the presence of the wedge-shaped substrate near the critical filling transition. Two different length scales determined by the average height of the…
A two-temperature lattice gas model with repulsive nearest-neighbour interactions is studied using Monte Carlo simulations and dynamical mean-field approximation. The evolution of the two-dimensional, half-filled system is described by an…
We report results of wetting on non-planar and heterogeneous surfaces calculated from an effective interfacial Hamiltonian model. The lack of translational invariance along the substrate induces a series of structural changes on the…
We show how a broad class of two-component square-gradient models of wetting may be solved exactly for the surface tensions and density profile paths, and clarify how the presence or absence of critical point wetting, in binary and ternary…
Nonequilibrium phase transitions are routinely observed in both natural and synthetic systems. The ubiquity of these transitions highlights the conspicuous absence of a general theory of phase coexistence that is broadly applicable to both…
We study the effect of thermal fluctuations on the wetting phase transitions of infinite order and of continuously varying order, recently discovered within a mean-field density-functional model for three-phase equilibria in systems with…
Multicomponent phase separation is a routine occurrence in both living and synthetic systems. Thermodynamics provides a straightforward path to determine the phase boundaries that characterize these transitions for systems at equilibrium.…
We investigate phase transitions in the nonequilibrium dynamics of power-law interacting spin-1/2 bilayer XXZ models, which have recently been shown to allow generation of entanglement in the form of two-mode squeezing. We find a transition…
We introduce a simple continuous model for nonequilibrium surface growth. The dynamics of the system is defined by the KPZ equation with a Morse-like potential representing a short range interaction between the surface and the substrate.…
The steady state properties of an interface in a stationary Couette flow are addressed within the framework of fluctuating hydrodynamics. Our study reveals that thermal fluctuations are driven out of equilibrium by an effective shear rate…
Recent work on the complete wetting transition has emphasized the role played by the coupling of fluctuations of the order parameter at the wall and at the depinning fluid interface. Extending this approach to the wetting transition itself…
Nonequilibrium phenomena of the phase transitions are studied. It is shown that due to finite relaxation time of the particle distributions, the use of scalar background dependent distribution functions is inconsistent.This observation may…
Fluid three-phase equilibria, with phases $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$, are studied close to a tricritical point, analytically and numerically, in a mean-field density-functional theory with two densities. Employing Griffiths' scaling for the…
For the two dimensional Ising model, we construct the adequate surface tension near criticality. The latter quantity has been shown to play a central role in the study of phase coexistence in a joint limit where the temperature approaches…
Fluctuating hydrodynamics provides a model for fluids at mesoscopic scales where thermal fluctuations can have a significant impact on the behavior of the system. Here we investigate a model for fluctuating hydrodynamics of a single…
We derive generic properties of nonequilibrium phase transitions in all-to-all Ising models placed in contact with two thermal reservoirs, in which parameters (temperatures, interactions and field parameters) assume arbitrary values…
Using a Ginzburg-Landau model, we study the phase transition behavior of compressible Ising systems at constant volume by varying the temperature $T$ and the applied magnetic field $h$. We show that two phases can coexist macroscopically in…
Nonequilibrium thermodynamics has shown its applicability in a wide variety of different situations pertaining to fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering. As successful as it is, however, its current formulation…
