Dynamics of Weak First Order Phase Transitions.
The dynamics of weak vs. strong first order phase transitions is investigated numerically for 2+1 dimensional scalar field models. It is argued that the change from a weak to a strong transition is itself a (second order) phase transition, with the order parameter being the equilibrium fractional population difference between the two phases at the critical temperature, and the control parameter...
متن کاملPrimordial Magnetic Fields from Cosmological First Order Phase Transitions
We give an improved estimate of primordial magnetic elds generated during cosmological rst order phase transitions. We examine the charge distribution at the nucleated bubble wall and its dynamics. We consider instabilities on the bubble walls developing during the phase transition. It is found that damping of these instabilities due to viscosity and heat conductivity caused by particle di usio...
متن کاملAccelerated dynamics in simulations of first-order phase transitions.
We show that the method of Fourier acceleration can be used to speed up tunnelling between degenerate and near-degenerate minima of the e ective action in Langevin simulations of statistical systems. Acceleration factors of two orders of magnitude are attained. Such improvement is important for the study of weak rst-order phase transitions, for simulations of spin glasses, and for the method of...
متن کاملFluctuations and Bubble Dynamics in First-Order Phase Transitions
We numerically examine the effect of thermal fluctuations on a first-order phase transition in 2+1 dimensions. By focusing on the expansion of a single bubble we are able to calculate changes in the bubble wall’s velocity as well as changes in its structure relative to the standard case where the bubble expands into a homogeneous background. Not only does the wall move faster, but the transitio...
متن کاملQuantum first order phase transitions
The scaling theory of critical phenomena has been successfully extended for classical first order transitions even though the correlation length does not diverge in these transitions. In this paper we apply the scaling ideas to quantum first order transitions. The usefulness of this approach is illustrated treating the problems of a superconductor coupled to a gauge field and of a biquadratic H...
