Explores renormalization, scaling, critical points, exponents, and phase transitions in conformal field theory and quantum gravity.
Explores the physical chemistry of polymeric materials, emphasizing concentrated solutions and phase separation behavior.
Introduces the Potts model, a generalization of the Ising model used in statistical mechanics to study phase transitions.
Explores nucleation, growth, Ostwald ripening, LaPlace pressure, Kelvin equation, phase equilibrium, size dependence of phase transitions, critical micelle concentration, self-assembly, temperature dependence of nucleation rate, heterogeneous nucleation, and melting point depression.
