Application of the dynamic renormalization group to non-equilibrium instabilities: Thek=0 hard mode transition

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

The behaviour of correlation functions of a complex fieldW close to thek=0 hard mode transition of a non-equilibrium system are investigated using the dynamic renormalization group. The Langevin equation forW is closely related to then=2 time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation, but in this case one finds two relevant scaling fields. This leads to a behavior which is more closely related to that expected at tricritical points.
