We study the effects of rapid periodic and stochastic modulations of parameters in systems described by the complex parametric Ginzburg-Landau equation. Amplitude equations, which govern the dynamics of the field averaged over the rapid modulations, are derived. For temporal modulations of the linear detuning the threshold for the transition from Ising to Bloch walls is shifted depending on the strength of the perturbation. In contrast to this, rapid perturbations of the linear gain lead only to a decrease of the amplitude of both wall types leaving the bifurcation point of the Ising-Bloch transition unchanged. Stochastic perturbations of the detuning lead to a Brownian motion of the Bloch wall beyond bifurcation where the velocity is given analytically. All theoretical predictions are confirmed by numerical simulations of the full stochastic Ginzburg-Landau equation.

Surface-induced crystallization/amorphization of a Germanium-antimony-tellurium nanolayer is investigated using the phase field model. A Ginzburg-Landau (GL) equation introduces an external surface layer (ESL) within which the surface energy and elastic properties are adequately distributed. Next, the coupled GL and elasticity equations for the crystallization/ amorphization are solved.

In this paper, using hydrodynamic entropy, we quantify multiscale disorder in Euler and hydrodynamic turbulence. These examples illustrate that the hydrodynamic entropy is not extensive because it is not proportional to the system size. Consequently, we cannot add hydrodynamic and thermodynamic entropies, which measure disorder at macroscopic and microscopic scales, respectively.

In the domain growth process, small structures gradually vanish, leaving behind larger ones. We investigate spectral energy transfers in two standard models for domain growth: (a) the Cahn-Hilliard (CH) equation with conserved dynamics and (b) the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) equation with nonconserved dynamics. The nonlinear terms in these equations dissipate fluctuations and facilitate energy transfers among Fourier modes.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers have explored how chiral liquid crystal droplets can form self-organizing vortex clusters similar to Abrikosov lattices found in other materials.
- The study uses a Ginzburg-Landau-like equation to explain the interaction dynamics that lead to these clusters, revealing a balance between repulsive forces and confinement within the droplets.
- Findings contribute to a deeper theoretical understanding of vortex organization in liquid crystals and suggest new ways to manipulate these topological defects for potential applications.
