Chapter
Thermal Conductivity
Most polymers are insulating systems, therefore, any electronic effects are absent in them and heat conduction occurs as a result of lattice vibrations. Theoretical consideration of the thermal conductivity of...

Experimental Methods and Instrumentation
Two methods are usually used for the determination of the heat capacity of polymers over a wide temperature range: adiabatic calorimetry and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

Comparison of the sulfurization of CoMoK/Al2O3 catalyst with H2S and CS2
Only H2S consumption and H2O formation was found in the sulfurization of CoMoK/Al2O3 water gas shift catalyst with H2S/H2, but CO2 was formed first, then CH4, H2O and H2S appeared in the later part of TPS with CS

Visualization and Identification of Vortex Structures in Stratified Wakes
Isolated eddies and coherent structures (vortex arrays) effect the drag and lift acting upon obstacles in a flow, energy and contaminants transfer, flow structure and stability. They are widely studied in phys...

Ionization Radiation Effects and Mechanisms
A systematic approach for predicting radiation stability of materials and devices is presented. The conceptual basis is a consideration of the radiolysis potentially occurring in x-ray-irradiated materials as ...

The Ginzburg-Landau Functional
In this chapter we consider derivation of the Ginzburg-Landau functional (GLF) from different microscopic Hamiltonians. The words “microscopic Hamiltonian” mean that we start from some plausible representation...

Field Theoretical RG
The field theoretical RG, developed to eliminate divergences in relativistic quantum field theories, has been a very effective calculational tool in critical thermodynamics. Usually, a thermodynamic system can...

Chapter
RG Study of Particular Systems
Any of the general methods introduced in the previous chapters can be applied to analyses of particular systems. In this chapter we consider application of the SE method to some simple examples. The central po...

Chapter
Exactly Solvable Models and RG
In previous chapters we have shown that fluctuations lead to a peculiar picture of phase transitions in systems with competing interactions. This picture may be qualitatively different from predictions of the ...

Classical Approach
At present it is difficult to trace the beginning of research in the field of phase transition physics. It might have been started by the experimental work by Andrews (1869) in which he studied the liquid-vapo...

Wilson’s Renormalization Scheme
At present there is a diversity of formulations for the Renormalization Group (RG) approach to the theory of critical behavior. Analysis of different methods can be found in the review articles by Fisher (1974...

Chapter
Generalized RG Approach
In Chapters 3 and 4, two ideologically different RG approaches have been considered. In Wilson’s approach one deals with the Hamiltonian Eq. (3.24) which includes all imaginable vertexes complying with the sym...

Chapter
Competing Interactions
In practically every physical system undergoing a phase transition we encounter a situation where the equilibrium can only be reached with the balance of competing forces. For instance, in order to describe th...

Application to Copper Oxides
In this chapter we demonstrate how the methods described in this book can be applied to materials used in experiment using the example of copper oxide systems. The interest in the study of oxides was ignited b...

Bragg Reflection and Phonon Folding Effects on Hop** Magnetoconductance in Superlattices
Transport in quantum microstructures (QMS) manifests such fundamental phenomena as quantum interference and electron localization. QMS can be designed to achieve arbitrary spectra of electronic states and are ...
