Landau, Ginzburg, Devonshire and others
Arkady P. Levanyuk, I. Burc Misirlioglu, M. Baris Okatan
Macroscopic modelling of ferroelectric properties refers usually to Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire theory. This paper questions the meaningfulness of this term, discussing contribution…
A glass-like behavior in the low-temperature specific heat is a natural property of any real crystal
A. Cano, A. P. Levanyuk, S. A. Minyukov
We provide a rigorous calculation of the free energy of a non-metallic crystal containing a small concentration of defects. The low-temperature leading contribution is found to be…
Universal features of the defect-induced damping of lattice vibrations
A. Cano, A. P. Levanyuk, S. A. Minyukov
It is shown that any defect gives an Ohmic contribution to the damping of any normal mode of the crystal lattice with nonzero wavevector which does not vanish at zero temperature.…
Elasticity-driven interaction between vortices in type-II superconductors
A. Cano, A. P. Levanyuk, S. A. Minyukov
The contribution to the vortex lattice energy which is due to the vortex-induced strains is calculated covering all the magnetic field range which defines the vortex state. This co…
Elasticity-driven attraction between Abrikosov vortices in high- superconductors: Leading role of a non-core contribution
A. Cano, A. P. Levanyuk, S. A. Minyukov
We show that the strain-induced attraction between Abrikosov vortices has a non-core contribution overlooked up until now. This contribution is an example of the universal mechanis…
Universal mechanism of discontinuity of commensurate-incommensurate transitions in three-dimensional solids: Strain dependence of soliton self-energy
A. P. Levanyuk, S. A. Minyukov, A. Cano
We show that there exists a universal mechanism of long-range soliton attraction in three-dimensional solids and, therefore, of discontinuity of any commensurate-incommensurate (C-…
