Landau Ginzburg theory of thed-wave Josephson junction

(0,2) Landau-ginzburg Theory ⋆

A large class of (0,2) Calabi-Yau σ-models and Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds are shown to arise as different “phases” of supersymmetric gauge theories. We find a phenomenon in the Landau-Ginzburg phase which may enable one to understand which Calabi-Yau σ-models evade destabilization by worldsheet instantons. Examples of (0,2) LandauGinzburg vacua are analyzed in detail, and several novel features ...

Superconductivity: Ginzburg-Landau Theory

Ginzburg-Landau theory of aqueous surfactant solutions

A simple two order-paraIneter Ginzburg-Landau theory for binary mixtures of water and amphiphile is introduced. The amphiphile concentration is described by a scalar, the orientational degrees of freedom of the amphiphile by a vector order parameter. Phase diagrams are calculated by minimizing the free energy functional. Several ordered lyotropic phases of lamellar, hexagonal, inverse hexagonal...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we obtain exact solutions involving parameters of some nonlinear PDEs in mathmatical physics; namely the one-‎dimensional modified complex Ginzburg-Landau equation by using the $ (G'/G) $ expansion method‎, homogeneous balance method, extended F-expansion method‎. ‎By ‎using homogeneous balance principle and the extended F-expansion, more periodic wave solutions expressed by j...

Fluctuations in Superconductors using Landau-Ginzburg Theory

In this paper, we study the fluctuations in superconductors in the framework of Landau-Ginzurg theory. First, we review the formulation of LG theory and derive the LG equations. The we calculate the fluctuation contribution to the saddle point heat capacity, both inside and outside the immediate vicinity of the transition point. Outside the immediate vicinity, we follow the Gaussian integral ca...
