Landau theory for smectic-A -- hexatic-B coexistence in smectic films
E. I. Kats, V. V. Lebedev, E. S. Pikina
We explain theoretically peculiarities of the smectic A -- hexatic B equilibrium phase coexistence in a finite temperature range recently observed experimentally in free standing s…
Landau theory for helical nematic phases
E. I. Kats, V. V. Lebedev
We propose Landau phenomenology for describing the phase transition from the conventional nematic into the conical helical orientationally non-uniform structure recently identified…
Passive scalar transport in peripheral regions of random flows
A. Chernykh, V. Lebedev
We investigate statistical properties of the passive scalar near boundaries (walls) in random (turbulent) flows assuming weakness of its diffusion. Then at advanced stages of the p…
Dynamic Fluctuation Phenomena in Double Membrane Films
E. I. Kats, V. V. Lebedev, S. V. Malinin
Dynamics of double membrane films is investigated in the long-wavelength limit including the overdamped squeezing mode. We demonstrate that thermal fluctuations essentially modify…
