Finite-temperature dislocation interactions

Finite Temperature QCD Interfaces Out of Equilibrium

The properties of interfaces in non-equilibrium situations are studied by constructing a density matrix with a space-dependent temperature. The temperature gradient gives rise to new terms in the equation for the order parameter. Surface terms induced in effective actions by abrupt temperature changes provide a natural theoretical framework for understanding the occurence of both continuous and...

Magnetic Screening at Finite Temperature

It is shown that at finite temperature and in the presence of magnetic sources magnetic fields are screened. This is proven within the framework of classical transport theory both for the Abelian and non-Abelian plasmas. Magnetic screening arises in this formalism as a consequence of polarization effects occurring in the plasmas, and it is non-perturbative in the gauge coupling constant. It is ...

Chiral Symmetry Breaking in QED in a Magnetic Field at Finite Temperature

The catalysis of chiral symmetry breaking in the massless weakly coupled QED in a magnetic field at finite temperature is studied. The temperature of the symmetry restoration is estimated analytically as Tc ≈ mdyn, where mdyn is the dynamical mass of a fermion at zero temperature. PACS number(s): 11.30Rd, 11.30Qc, 12.20Ds Typeset using REVTEX 1 Recently it has been shown that a constant magneti...

Magnetic Catalysis of Chiral Symmetry Breaking in QED at Finite Temperature

The catalysis of chiral symmetry breaking by a magnetic field in the massless weakcoupling phase of QED is studied. The dynamical mass of a fermion (energy gap in the fermion spectrum) is shown to depend essentially nonanalytically on the renormalized coupling constant α in a strong magnetic field. The temperature of the symmetry restoration is calculated analytically as Tc ≈ mdyn, where mdyn i...
