How do I use this calendar?

You can click on an event to display further information about it.

The toolbar above the calendar has buttons to view different events. Use the left and right arrow icons to view events in the past and future. The button inbetween returns you to today's view. The button to the right of this shows a mini-calendar to let you quickly jump to any date.

The dropdown box on the right allows you to see a different view of the calendar, such as an agenda or a termly view.

If this calendar has tags, you can use the labelled checkboxes at the top of the page to select just the tags you wish to view, and then click "Show selected". The calendar will be redisplayed with just the events related to these tags, making it easier to find what you're looking for.

Theory group seminar on "The effect of defects on magnetic droplet nucleation", SPEAKER: Federico ETTORI, AFFILIATION: Politecnico di Milano, Italy.
PS 128

ABSTRACT:

Defects and impurities strongly affect the timing and the character of the (re)ordering or disordering transitions of thermodynamic systems captured in metastable states. In this talk, we analyse the case of two-dimensional magnetic systems. We adapt the classical JMAK theory to account for the effects of defects on the free energy barriers, the critical droplet area and the associated metastable time. The resulting predictions are successfully tested against the Monte-Carlo simulations performed by adopting Glauber dynamics, to obtain reliable time-dependent results during the out-of-equilibrium transformations. We also focus on finite-size effects and study how the spinodal line (separating the single-droplet from the multi-droplet regime) depends on the system size, the defect fraction, and the external field.
