3D X-Y scaling of the specific heat of single crystals

N Overend, MA Howson, ID Lawrie - Physical review letters, 1994 - APS
The specific heat of a single crystal sample of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− δ has been measured with
magnetic fields up to 8 T applied parallel to the c axis of the crystal. The results provide strong …

Magnetic scaling in superconductors

ID Lawrie - Physical review letters, 1997 - APS
The Ginzburg-Landau-Wilson superconductor in a magnetic field B is considered in the
approximation that magnetic-field fluctuations are neglected. A formulation of perturbation theory …

Scaling in high-temperature superconductors

ID Lawrie - Physical Review B, 1994 - APS
A Hartree approximation is used to study the interplay of two kinds of scaling which arise in
high-temperature superconductors, namely critical-point scaling and that due to the …

Perturbative description of dissipation in nonequilibrium field theory

ID Lawrie - Physical Review D, 1989 - APS
Dissipative effects, such as the relaxation of quasiparticle occupation numbers, arise from
absorptive parts of Green’s functions, which typically appear first at the second order of …

Perturbative nonequilibrium dynamics of phase transitions in an expanding universe

ID Lawrie - Physical Review D, 1999 - APS
A complete set of Feynman rules is derived, which permits a perturbative description of the
nonequilibrium dynamics of a symmetry-breaking phase transition in λ φ 4 theory in an …
