Landau-Ginsburg free energy

Earlier, Homreich, Luban and Shtrikman had proposed a new type of higher order critical point, which they called the Lifshitz point, by considering a Landau-Ginsburg free energy expansion in terms of a scalar order parameter M for a magnetic system... [Pg.374]

Recently, a quantitative model for the size-dependent Curie temperature has been established based on mechanic and thermodynamic considerations using the Landau-Ginsburg-Devonshire (LGD) phenomenological theory by equalizing free energies of the ferroelectrics and paraelectrics phases [1-4],... [Pg.377]

The smectic A free energy reduces to the Landau-Ginsburg superconductor free energy provided that = 0 for splay and kt = kb for twist and bend. The full extent of the relationships between liquid crystals and superconductors in the de Gennes analogy are summarized in Table 1 [23],... [Pg.98]
