Glassy behavior in systems with Kac-type step-function interaction
Kok-Kiong Loh, Kyozi Kawasaki, Alan R. Bishop +4
We study a system with a weak, long-range repulsive Kac-type step-function interaction within the framework of a replicated effective -theory. The occurrence of extensive conf…
Phase transition induced hydrodynamic instability and Langmuir-Blodgett Deposition
Kok-Kiong Loh, Avadh Saxena, Turab Lookman +1
We propose a model to understand periodic oscillations relevant to the origin of mesoscopic channels formed during a Langmuir-Blodgett deposition observed in recent experiments \{M…
Numerical studies of domains and bubbles of Langmuir monolayers
Kok-Kiong Loh, Joseph Rudnick
A numerical algorithm based on the finite element methods has been developed to accurately determine the shape of the boundary of a domain containing ``boojum'' textures. Within th…
Chiral hedgehog textures in 2D XY-like ordered domains
Kok-Kiong Loh, Isabelle Kraus, Robert B. Meyer
The textures associated with a point defect centered in a circular domain of a thin film with XY-like ordering have been analyzed. The family of equilibrium textures, both stable a…
Theory of monolayers with boundaries: Exact results and Perturbative analysis
Joseph Rudnick, Kok-Kiong Loh
Domains and bubbles in tilted phases of Langmuir monolayers contain a class of textures knows as boojums. The boundaries of such domains and bubbles may display either cusp-like fe…
Textures and the shapes of domains in Langmuir monolayers
Kok-Kiong Loh, Joseph Rudnick
Two-dimensional domains containing an XY-like order parameter exhibit non-trivial internal structure and take on shapes controlled by the configuration that the order parameter ado…
