چکیده

At first order phase transitions the transition proceeds through droplet nucleation and growth. We discuss a lattice method for calculating the droplet nucleation rate, including the complete dynamical factors. The method is especially suitable for very strongly suppressed droplet nucleation, which is often the case in physically interesting transitions. We apply the method to the 3-dimensional cubic anisotropy model in a parameter range where the model has a radiatively induced strong first order phase transition, and compare the results with analytical approaches.

The Exact Renormalization Group and First-order Phase Transitions

Studies of first-order phase transitions through the use of the exact renormalization group are reviewed. In the first part the emphasis is on universal aspects: We discuss the universal critical behaviour near weakly first-order phase transitions for a three-dimensional model of two coupled scalar fields – the cubic anisotropy model. In the second part we review the application of the exact re...

How to Calculate the Bubble Nucleation Rate in First Order Transitions Non-perturbatively

Electroweak baryogenesis in the Standard Model (or extensions of it) happens on or near the surface of the bubbles which nucleate and subsequently grow during the first order Electroweak phase transition. In this case, it is very difficult to compute the bubble nucleation rate analytically with sufficient accuracy: since the transition is radiatively generated, no classical bubble solution exis...

Availability Analysis For Heterogeneous Nucleation In A Uniform Electric Field

Industrial demands for more compact heat exchangers are a motivation to find new technology features. Electrohydrodynamics (EHD) is introduced as a promising phenomenon for heat transfer enhancement mechanisms. Similar to any new technology, EHD has not been understood completely yet and requires more fundamental studies. In boiling phase change phenomena, nucleation is the dominant mechanism i...

Domain wall nucleation in epitaxial exchange-biased Fe/IrMn bilayers with highly misaligned anisotropies

The angular dependence of the magnetization reversal in epitaxial Fe/IrMn bilayers with collinear and non-collinear cubic and unidirectional anisotropies is investigated. Multistep loops with different magnetization reversal processes are observed for either positive or negative angles with respect to the Fe easy axis. The angular dependence of the switching fields displays the broken symmetry ...
