Universality in Commensurate-Incommensurate Phase Transitions

  • Chapter
Phase Transitions and Relaxation in Systems with Competing Energy Scales

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 415))

Abstract

To investigate the problem of universality in commensurate-incommensurate phase transitions, we have studied certain generalized Frenkel-Kontorova models with different interparticle and external potentials. Many new and interesting features have been found.
