The kinetics of precipitation from supersaturated solid solutions

Evolution of networks

We review the recent fast progress in statistical physics of evolving\nnetworks. Interest has focused mainly on the structural properties of random\ncomplex networks in communic...

Effect of Mechanical Boundary Conditions on Phase Diagrams of Epitaxial Ferroelectric Thin Films

A phenomenological thermodynamic theory of ferroelectric thin films epitaxially grow on cubic substrates is developed using a new form of the thermodynamic potential. which corr...

Current-induced spin orientation of electrons in semiconductors

A General Theory of Heterophase Fluctuations and Pretransition Phenomena

The present paper is a generalization of a preceding note on the statistical theory of condensation phenomena. It is based on the idea that the macroscopic transition of a subst...

Coulomb gap in disordered systems: computer simulation

The density of states (DS) of a disordered system with localised electronic states is studied in the vicinity of the Fermi level with the Monte-Carlo computer simulation for the...

Interaction of silver atoms with iridium and with a two-dimensional graphite film on iridium: Adsorption, desorption, and dissolution

The initial stages in the interaction of silver with the (111)Ir surface and with a two-dimensional graphite film (2D GF) on (111)Ir were studied by high-resolution electron Aug...
