Laserlight — first example of a second-order phase transition far away from thermal equilibrium

We solve the functional Fokker-Planck equation established in a previous paper in the vicinity of laser threshold. The stationary solution is obtained explicitly in the formP=N exp [??({ū, ū*})]. ? has exactly the same form as the Ginzburg-Landau expression for the free energy of a superconductor, if the pair wave function is replaced by the electromagnetic field amplitudeū. This gives us the key for a thermodynamic reinterpretation of all laser phenomena. In particular the laser threshold appears as a second-order phase transition in all details. It is indicated that our theory provides a new formalism also for the Ginzburg-Landau theory.     

Stabilization of Pattern in Complex Ginzburg-Landau Equation with Spatial Perturbation Scheme

In this paper, a new scheme of spatial perturbation is proposed to stabilize the pattern in the oscillatory media, which could be described with the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. The numerical simulation results confirm that the spiral wave, antispiral wave and spatiotemporal chaos in the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation could be suppressed, and the scheme is also discussed with the conservative field theory. Furthermore, the spatiotemporal noise is also introduced into the whole media, it just confirms that it is robust to the spatiotemporal noise.     

Exact homoclinic wave and soliton solutions for the 2D Ginzburg-Landau equation

New exact wave solutions including homoclinic wave, kink wave and soliton solutions for the 2D Ginzburg-Landau equation are obtained using the auxiliary function method, generalized Hirota method and the ansatz function technique under the certain constraint conditions of coefficients in equation, respectively. The result shows that there exists a kink-wave solution which tends to one and the same periodic wave solution as time tends to infinite.     

Slowly varying fully nonlinear wavetrains in the Ginzburg-Landau equation

Following the ideas of Howard and Kopell [9] a perturbation theory is developed for slowly varying fully nonlinear wavetrains (i.e. solutions which appear locally as travelling waves, but with frequencies and wavelengths which may vary widely on long length and time scales). This perturbation theory is applied to the Ginzburg-Landau equation. The motion and stability of slowly varying wavetrains is shown to be governed by a simple wave equation which can develop shocks corresponding to rapid changes in wavenumber. Numerical results supporting this theory are presented. A shock structure is proposed and numerically verified. These results together with a winding invariant valid in the limit of slow variation suggest that over a large range of parameters many initial conditions relax to uniform wavetrains. The evolution of a marginally diffusively stable wavetrain is also examined; it is argued that the evolution is governed by a perturbed Korteweg-de Vries equation.     

Drift of Spiral Waves in Complex Ginzburg-Landau Equation

The spontaneous drift of the spiral wave in a finite domain in the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation is investigated numerically. By using the interactions between the spiral wave and its images, we propose a phenomenological theory to explain the observations.     

Evolution of the order parameter in situations with broken rotational symmetry

We describe the evolution of the envelope of a wavetrain which, at a critical value of the stress parameter, breaks the rotational symmetry of the governing equations. The new envelope equation is a generalization to wavelike disturbances of the Newell-Whitehead-Segel equation and the one-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. The most novel prediction of the new theory is that spatially uniform envelopes are rarely stable and that the dynamics is dominated by terms which c...onserve phase space volume. In particular, it turns out that the strongest spatial modulation takes place along the wave crests, perpendicular to the direction of the propagation. We also discuss mean drift effects and in particular their consequences near lateral boundaries.     

Topological Aspects of Superconductors at Dual Point

We study the properties of the Ginzburg-Landau model at the dual point for the superconductors. By making use of the U（1） gauge potential decomposition and the φ-mapping theory, we investigate the topological inner structure of the Bogomol＇nyi equations and deduce a modified decoupled Bogomol＇nyi equation with a nontrivial topological term, which is ignored in conventional model. We find that the nontrivial topological term is closely related to the N-vortex, which arises from the zero points of the complex scalar field, Furthermore, we establish a relationship between Ginzburg Landau free energy and the winding number.     

Aperiodic behaviour of baroclinic wave packets

The amplitude evolution equation for weakly non-linear wave packets in a continuously stratified and sheared baroclinic flow, in which both dissipation and dispersion effects are strong, is shown to be the generalised time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation. This equation possesses both periodic and aperiodic solutions, depending critically on parameter values.     

Spiral Solutions of the Two-Dimensional Complex Ginzburg-Landau Equation

The multi-order exact solutions of the two-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation are obtained by making use of the wave-packet theory. In these solutions, the zeroth-order exact solution is a plane wave, the first-order exact solutions are shock waves for the amplitude and spiral waves both between the amplitude and the shift of phase and between the shift of phase and the distance.     

Modulated Wave Packets in DNA and Impact of Viscosity

We study the nonlinear dynamics of a DNA molecular system at physiological temperature in a viscous media by using the Peyrard-Bishop model. The nonlinear dynamics of the above system is shown to be governed by the discrete complex Cinzburg-Landau equation. In the non-viscous limit, the equation reduces to the nonlinear Schroedinger equation. Modulational instability criteria are derived for both the cases. On the basis of these criteria, numerical simulations are made, which confirm the analytical predictions. The planar wave solution used as the initial condition makes localized oscillations of base pairs and causes energy localization. The results also show that the viscosity of the solvent in the surrounding damps out the amplitude of wave patterns.

About the local Curie temperature distribution of Invar alloys

Strongly disordered ferromagnetic alloys which exhibit magnetic inhomogeneities are described in the frame of a generalized Ginzburg-Landau theory by averaging the Ginzburg-Landau energy of a subsystem with a definite Curie temperature over the Curie temperature of all subsystems of the inhomogeneous magnetic system. It is shown that this leads to the rough scaling of a smooth phase transition. Furthermore the distribution function of the Curie temperature is derived from the experimental data of the specific heat, the volume thermal expansion coefficient and the compressibility.     

On exact solutions of modified complex Ginzburg-Landau equation

The one-dimensional modified complex Ginzburg-Landau equation has been studied by the use of the Conte and Musette method. This method permits us to derive all the known exact solutions in a unified natural scheme. These solutions are expressed in terms of solitary wave, periodic unbounded wave, and shock type wave. We also find previously unknown exact propagating hole. The degeneracies of modified complex Ginzburg-Landau equation have also been examined as well as several of their solutions.     

On Asymptotic Stability of Moving Kink for Relativistic Ginzburg-Landau Equation

We prove the asymptotic stability of the moving kinks for the nonlinear relativistic wave equations in one space dimension with a Ginzburg-Landau potential: starting in a small neighborhood of the kink, the solution, asymptotically in time, is the sum of a uniformly moving kink and dispersive part described by the free Klein-Gordon equation. The remainder decays in a global energy norm. Our recent results on the weighted energy decay for the Klein-Gordon equations play a crucial role in the proofs.     

Quasiclassical approach to kinetic equations for superfluid 3hellum: General theory and application to the spin dynamics

Using the method of the quasiclassical Green function, we derive a set of kinetic equations which describe general nonequilibrium situations in the quasiclassical regime, i.e., when the external frequency and wave vector, ω and q are small compared to the atomic scale (ω ? μ, ∥ q ∥ ? pf. The equations consist of a Boltzmann equation for the quasiparticle distribution function, labeled by the energy and the direction of the momentum (particle representation), coupled to a time dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation for the order parameter. We discuss extensively the properties of these equations, and apply them to orbital and spin dynamics. Solving the Boltzmann equation in a well defined approximation, we are able to derive the expressions for the linewidths for all temperatures, with the correct identification of the phenomenological relaxation times. Furthermore, we discuss the connection between various relaxation times used in non-equilibrium situations, and we give a detailed comparison of the particle representation with the excitation representation which is used frequently in other work on non-equilibrium phenomena in superfluid ³He and in superconductors.

Mesoscopic samples: the superconducting condensate via the Gross-Pitaevskii scenario

Mesoscopic superconductors are routinely investigated with the Ginzburg-Landau equations, whereby the confinement is taken into account by imposing that the normal component of the superconducting current vanishes through the sample boundary. We argue that this approach gives misleading results when applied to micron- and submicron-sized devices, and we introduce modified Ginzburg-Landau equations that take the confinement potential into account on the level of the free energy functional. For devices much larger than the Ginzburg-Landau coherence length, both approaches agree, but deviations appear for samples of the scale of the coherence length. In the absence of a magnetic field, the modified Ginzburg-Landau equation for the order parameter reduces to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation.     

Symmetry-breaking solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equation

We consider the question of the existence of nonradial solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equation. We present results indicating that such solutions exist. We seek such solutions as saddle points of the renormalized Ginzburg-Landau free-energy functional. There are two main points in our analysis: searching for solutions that have certain point symmetries and characterizing saddle-point solutions in terms of critical points of certain intervortex energy function. The latter critical points correspond to forceless vortex configurations.     

Global existence via Ginzburg-Landau formalism and pseudo-orbits of Ginzburg-Landau approximations

The so-called Ginzburg-Landau formalism applies for parabolic systems which are defined on cylindrical domains, which are, close to the threshold of instability, and for which the unstable Fourier modes belong to non-zero wave numbers. This formalism allows to describe an attracting set of solutions by a modulation equation, here the Ginzburg-Landau equation. If the coefficient in front of the cubic term of the formally derived Ginzburg-Landau equation has negative real part the method allows to show global existence in time in the original system of all solutions belonging to small initial conditions, inL . Another aim of this paper is to construct a pseudo-orbit of Ginzburg-Landau approximations which is close to a solution of the original system up tot=. We consider here as an example the socalled Kuramoto-Shivashinsky equation to explain the methods, but it applies also to a wide class of other problems, like e.g. hydrodynamical problems or reaction-diffusion equations, too.     

Effect of electrodes on the properties of a thin ferroelectric film

The effect of various metal electrodes on the properties of thin ferroelectric films is considered using the phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau theory. The electric field produced by charges on electrodes is taken into account (with allowance for the screening of the charges in the metals) in the free energy functional and in the Euler-Lagrange equation for the film polarization. This equation is solved using the variational method, and the free energy functional is reduced to the conventional free energy with a renormalized coefficient of P ². This coefficient is dependent on the properties and thickness of the film and the properties of the electrode. Therefore, the physical characteristics of the size effect can be found by merely substituting the renormalized coefficient into the usual formulas from phenomenological theory. The calculations are shown to be in good agreement with the experimental data for Pt, Ir, IrO₂, and SrRuO₃.
