We investigate the existence of nontranslation invariant (periodic) density profiles, for systems interacting via translation invariant long-range potentials, as minimizers of local mean field free energy functionals. The existence of a second-order transition from a uniform to a nonuniform density at a specified temperature beta(-1)(0) is proven for a class of model systems.

Abstract
We investigate the existence of nontranslation invariant (periodic) density profiles, for systems interacting via translation invariant long-range potentials, as minimizers of local mean field free energy functionals. The existence of a second-order transition from a uniform to a nonuniform density at a specified temperature beta(-1)(0) is proven for a class of model systems.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
