Inhomogeneous systems with unusual critical behaviour
The phase transitions and critical properties of two types of inhomogeneous systems are reviewed. In one case, the local critical behaviour results from the particular shape of the system. Here scale-invariant forms like wedges or cones are considered as well as general parabolic shapes. In the other case the system contains defects, either narrow ones in the form of lines or stars, or extended...
متن کاملDynamical systems with time-dependent coupling: Clustering and critical behaviour
We study the collective behaviour of an ensemble of coupled motile elements whose interactions depend on time and are alternatively attractive or repulsive. The evolution of interactions is driven by individual internal variables with autonomous dynamics. The system exhibits different dynamical regimes, with various forms of collective organization, controlled by the range of interactions and t...
متن کاملCritical Behaviour of Irreversible Reaction Systems
An introductory review on the critical behaviour of some irreversible reaction systems is given. The study of these systems has attracted great attention during the last decades due to, on the one hand, the rich and complex underlying physics, and on the other hand, their relevance for numerous technological applications in heterogeneous catalysis, corrosion and coating, development of microele...
متن کاملAsymptotic Behaviour of Inhomogeneous String Cosmologies
The asymptotic behaviour at late times of inhomogeneous axion-dilaton cosmologies is investigated. The space-times considered here admit two abelian space-like Killing vectors. These space-times evolve towards an anisotropic universe containing gravitational radiation. Furthermore, a peeling-off behaviour of the Weyl tensor and the antisymmetric tensor field strength is found. The relation to t...
متن کاملBrownian systems with spatially inhomogeneous activity.
We generalize the Green-Kubo approach, previously applied to bulk systems of spherically symmetric active particles [J. Chem. Phys. 145, 161101 (2016)JCPSA60021-960610.1063/1.4966153], to include spatially inhomogeneous activity. The method is applied to predict the spatial dependence of the average orientation per particle and the density. The average orientation is given by an integral over t...
