Mesoscopic Phase Fluctuations: General Phenomenon in Condensed Matter
arXiv:cond-mat/0308127 · doi:10.1142/S0217979203018259
Abstract
General conditions for the occurrence of mesoscopic phase fluctuations in condensed matter are considered. The description of different thermodynamic phases, which coexist as a mixture of mesoscopically separated regions, is based on the {\it theory of heterophase fluctuations}. The spaces of states, typical of the related phases, are characterized by {\it weighted Hilbert spaces}. Several models illustrate the main features of heterophase condensed matter.
