Nucleation rates in flat and curved space.
Nucleation rates for tunneling processes in Minkowski and de Sitter space are investigated, taking into account one loop prefactors. In particular, we consider the creation of membranes by an antisymmetric tensor field, analogous to Schwinger pair production. This can be viewed as a model for the decay of false (or true) vacuum at zero temperature, in the thin wall limit. Also considered is the...
متن کاملHeterogeneous nucleation and crystal growth on curved surfaces observed by real-space imaging.
We present a real-space imaging study of homogeneous and heterogeneous crystal nucleation and growth in colloidal suspensions of slightly charged and polydisperse particles. Heterogeneous crystallization is observed close to curved surfaces with radii of curvature, R, in the range from 4 to 40 particle diameters, d. Close to a curved surface, we find crystal nucleation and growth to be suppress...
متن کاملD-Branes in Curved Space
We review recent work on the structure of the action forN D0-branes in a curved background, with emphasis on the meaning of space-time diffeomorphism invariance. Talk given at the Francqui Colloquium, 2001, “Strings and Gravity: Tying the Forces Together.” E-mail: jdeboer@science.uva.nl Since their introduction in 1995 [1], D-branes have played a tremendously important role in string theory. It...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium phase stabilization versus bubble nucleation at a nanoscale-curved interface
Using continuum dynamic van der Waals theory in a radial 1D geometry with a Lennard-Jones fluid model, we investigate the nature of vapor bubble nucleation near a heated, nanoscale-curved convex interface. Vapor bubble nucleation and growth are observed for interfaces with sufficiently large radius of curvature while phase stabilization of a superheated fluid layer occurs at interfaces with sma...
متن کاملD-Branes in Curved Space
We obtain actions for N D-branes occupying points in a manifold with arbitrary Kähler metric. In one complex dimension, the action is uniquely determined (up to second order in commutators) by the requirement that it reproduce the masses of stretched strings and by imposing supersymmetry. These conditions are very restrictive in higher dimensions as well. The results provide a noncommutative ex...
