We study a Ginzburg-Landau model of structural phase transition in two dimensions, in which a single order parameter is coupled to the tetragonal and dilational strains. Such elastic coupling terms in the free energy much affect the phase…

The magnetization in the domain walls (DWs) formed inside the inner core of the amorphous ferromagnetic microwire is studied within a simple analytical model proposed. The influence of the ordering in the internal-stress created outer shell…

The appearance of a convex dip in the microcanonical entropy of finite systems usually signals a first order transition. However, a convex dip also shows up in some systems with a continuous transition as for example in the Baxter-Wu model…

In pattern-forming systems, competition between patterns with different wave numbers can lead to domain structures, which consist of regions with differing wave numbers separated by domain walls. For domain structures well above threshold…

In binary alloys, domain walls play a central role not only on the phase transitions but also on their physical properties and were at the heart of the 70's metallurgy research. Whereas it can be predicted, with simple physics arguments,…

We prove a rigidity result for the anisotropic Laplacian. More precisely, the domain of the problem is bounded by an unknown surface supporting a Dirichlet condition together with a Neumann-type condition which is not translation-invariant.…

A cubic structure of polymer colloid complexes is studied. The technique of the research includes i) an analysis of well-known literature SAXS data; on this base, at some assumptions, ii) constructing a simple model to estimate geometric…

Temporal evolution of Langmuir waves is presented with two-dimensional electrostatic Vlasov simulations. In a mutiwavelength system, trapped electrons can generate sidebands including longitudinal, transverse and oblique sidebands. We…

We introduce functional Wulff shapes based on the classical construction for compact convex sets. With this new tool, we establish a functional version of Aleksandrov's variational lemma in the family of convex functions with compact…

Langmuir monolayers are advantageous systems used to investigate how lipid membranes get involved in the physiology of many living structures, such as collapse phenomena in alveolar structures. Much work focuses on characterizing the…

A warped product with a spherical factor and a logarithmically concave warping function satisfies a scalar curvature rigidity of the Llarull type. We develop a scalar curvature rigidity of the Llarull type for a general class of domains in…

A multiple-time scaling analysis of the dissipative, transversely driven Landau-Lifshitz equation in presence of exchange, shape demagnetisation and week anisotropy fields is performed for a dynamic domain state. Stationary solutions of the…

Using computer simulation, we have studied the random sequential adsorption of stiff linear $k$-mers onto a square lattice. Each such particle occupies $k$ adjacent lattice sites. During deposition, the two mutually perpendicular…

Ordering of mobile defects in functional materials can give rise to fundamentally new phases possessing ferroic and multiferroic functionalities. Here we develop the Landau theory for strain induced ordering of defects (e.g. oxygen…

Inequalities are derived for Wilson loops generalizing the well-known Bachas inequality for rectangular contours. The inequalities are compatible with the area law for large contours. The Polyakov cusp anomalous dimension of Wilson lines…

We develop a theory of anomalous elasticity in disordered two-dimensional flexible materials with orthorhombic crystal symmetry. Similar to the clean case, we predict existence of infinitely many flat phases with anisotropic bending…

Evolution of composition patterns in the annealed, single-crystal surface alloy film is considered in the presence of the spinodal decomposition, the compositional stress and the diffusion anisotropy. While the former two effects contribute…

The combined effect of disorder and symmetry-breaking fields on the two-dimensional XY model is examined. The study includes disorder in the interaction among spins in the form of random phase shifts as well as disorder in the local…

Domains of condensed-phase monolayers of chiral molecules exhibit a variety of interesting nonequilibrium structures when formed via pressurization. To model these domain patterns, we add a complex field describing the tilt degree of…

The ordering of scalar fields after a phase transition in which a group $G$ of global symmetries is spontaneously broken to a subgroup $H$ provides a possible explanation for the origin of structure in the universe, as well as leading to…
