In the course of a nonequilibrium continuous phase transition, the dynamics ceases to be
adiabatic in the vicinity of the critical point as a result of the critical slowing down (the …

This work reports new exact solutions for domain-wall (DW) states produced by a system of
coupled real Ginzburg-Landau (GL) equations which model patterns in thermal convection …

Topological defects shape the material and transport properties of physical systems.
Examples range from vortex lines in quantum superfluids, defect-mediated buckling of …

When applying two counterpropagating laser beams to a cold cloud of rubidium atoms, we
observe the spontaneous formation of intensity patterns associated with a spatial …

We investigate the critical phenomena emerging from a statistical mechanics model of
musical harmony on a three-dimensional (3D) lattice, and the resulting structure of the …

The Kibble-Zurek mechanism demands an initial adiabatic stage before an impulse stage to
have a frozen correlation length that generates topological defects in a cooling phase …

Kibble-Zurek scaling is the scaling of the density of the topological defects formed via the
Kibble-Zurek mechanism with respect to the rate at which a system is cooled across a …

Thermal convection of binary mixtures in a porous medium is studied with stress-free
boundary conditions. The linear stability analysis is studied by using the normal mode …

Since R. Peierls [1, 2] and LD Landau [3] first discussed the effect of dimensionality on the
existence of phase transitions and order in general, much attention has come to the explicit …
