Thermal fluctuations at second order phase transitions
We construct a new coarse-grained effective potential which enables us to estimate the probabilities of thermal fluctuations above an arbitrary threshold at different length scales.

متن کاملThermal phase mixing during first-order phase transitions.
The dynamics of first order phase transitions are studied in the context of (3+1)-dimensional scalar field theories. Particular attention is paid to the question of quantifying the strength of the transition, and how ‘weak’ and ‘strong’ transitions have different dynamics. We propose a model with two available low temperature phases separated by an energy barrier so that one of them becomes met...
متن کاملRenormalization-Group Study of Weakly First-Order Phase Transitions
We study the universal critical behavior near weakly first-order phase transitions for a three-dimensional model of two coupled scalar fields – the cubic anisotropy model. Renormalization-group techniques are employed within the formalism of the effective average action. We calculate the coarse-grained free energy and deduce the universal ratio of susceptibilities on either side of the phase tr...
متن کاملClusters, Metastability, and Nucleation: Kinetics of First-Order Phase Transitions
We describe and interpret computer simulations of the time evolution of a binary alloy on a cubic lattice, with nearest neighbor interactions favoring like pairs of atoms. Initially the atoms are arranged at random; the time evolution proceeds by random interchanges of nearest neighbor pairs, using probabilities compatible with the equilibrium Gibbs distribution at temperature T. For temperatur...
متن کاملThermal fluctuations of gauge fields and first order phase transitions in color superconductivity
We study the effects of thermal fluctuations of gluons and the diquark pairing field on the superconducting-to-normal state phase transition in a three-flavor color superconductor, using the Ginzburg-Landau free energy. At high baryon densities, where the system is a type I superconductor, gluonic fluctuations, which dominate over diquark fluctuations, induce a cubic term in the Ginzburg-Landau...
