• Heuristic model for the energy spectrum of phase turbulence 

      Medeiros, Joacir Thadeu Nascimento; Simões, Acirete Souza da Rosa (2001) [Artigo de periódico]
      We present a heuristic model for the energy spectrum of the one-dimensional phase turbulence in the steady state of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. Our model contains an energy transfer mechanism from low- to high-wave-vector ...
    • Melting transition of two-dimensional crystals 

      Holz, Arno; Medeiros, Joacir Thadeu Nascimento (1978) [Artigo de periódico]
      The solíd-liquíd phase transítíon (PT) in two-dímensional crystals is studied under the assumption that it ís driven by the díssocíation of elastic dípoles. It ís shown that thís PT ís of tirst-order and corresponds to a ...
