Higher-order phase transitions with line-tension effect
Bernardo Galvao-Sousa
The behavior of energy minimizers at the boundary of the domain is of great importance in the Van de Waals-Cahn-Hilliard theory for fluid-fluid phase transitions, since it describe…

Thin film limits for Ginzburg--Landau with strong applied magnetic fields
Stan Alama, Lia Bronsard, Bernardo Galvão-Sousa
In this work, we study thin-film limits of the full three-dimensional Ginzburg-Landau model for a superconductor in an applied magnetic field oriented obliquely to the film surface…
