Langevin model for nonconserved order parameter systems
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Although the microscopic Hamiltonian contains all of the information needed to describe phase separation kinetics, in practice the large number of degrees of freedom in the system makes it necessary to construct reduced descriptions. Generally a subset of slowly varying macrovariables, such as the hydrodynamic modes, is a useful starting point for theoretical models. The equations of motion of the macrovariables can be derived from the microscopic Hamiltonian, but in practice one often begins with a phenomenological description. The set of macrovariables is chosen to include the order parameter and all other slow variables to which it is coupled. Such slow variables are typically obtained from consideration of the conservation laws and broken symmetries of the system. The remaining degrees of freedom are assumed to vary on a much faster time scale and enter the phenomenological description as random thermal noise. The resulting coupled nonlinear stochastic differential equations for such a chosen “relevant” set of macrovariables are collectively referred to as the Langevin field theory description. In two of the simplest Langevin models, the order parameter ø is the only relevant macrovariable; in model A (introduced in this chapter) it is nonconserved and in model B (described in the next chapter) it is conserved. The labels A, B, etc. have an historical origin from the Langevin models of critical dynamics. The scheme is often referred to as the Hohenberg-Halperin classification scheme (Hohenberg and Halperin, 1977). Langevin model A For model A the Langevin description assumes that, on average, the time rate of change of the order parameter is proportional to the thermodynamic force that drives the phase transition.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
