Gradient Flow in Logarithmic Conformal Field Theory
We establish conditions under which the worldsheet β-functions of logarithmic conformal field theories can be derived as the gradient of some scalar function on the moduli space of running coupling constants. We derive a renormalization group invariant version of this function and relate it to the usual Zamolodchikov C-function expressed in terms of correlation functions of the worldsheet energ...
متن کاملMean-field theory of nucleation and growth on strained surfaces
Mean-field nucleation and growth modeling is important for understanding various adsorbatesubstrate systems, particularly in the context of epitaxial growth. Conventional mean-field theory does not take into account non-local interactions, but adparticles may interact with strained islands via long range elastic interactions mediated by the substrate. We show that recent extensions of mean-fiel...
متن کاملSelf-consistent field theory for the nucleation of micelles
We report the first molecular model for the transition states ~critical nuclei! that determine the rate of micelle formation and breakdown. These processes, and homogeneous nucleation of macroscopic phase separation are handled in a unified way. It turns out that with micelle-forming amphiphiles several new features appear that do not occur with ordinary phase separation. We predict that the ac...
متن کاملDensity functional theory of inhomogeneous liquids. IV. Squared-gradient approximation and classical nucleation theory.
The squared-gradient approximation to the modified-core Van der Waals density functional theory model is developed. A simple, explicit expression for the SGA coefficient involving only the bulk equation of state and the interaction potential is given. The model is solved for planar interfaces and spherical clusters and is shown to be quantitatively accurate in comparison to computer simulations...
متن کاملAvailability 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...
