Phase transitions of the first kind as radiation processes

Abstract Crystallization and vapor condensation are considered as the processes of sequential penetration of single atoms/molecules into condensate. In the course of these transitions the transitive radiation must be generated, which would carry away the liberated latent heat by photons of characteristic frequencies. The transient radiation is examined by the general Ginzburg–Frank theory. The emission of defined frequencies determined by the values of liberated latent heat is confirmed by analyses of several experiments of authors and other researchers.

Near field in quantum electrodynamics: Green functions, Lorentz condition, “nonlocality in the small”, frustrated total reflection

Investigation of near field in QED requires the refuse from an averaging of the Lorentz condition that smooths out some field peculiarities. Instead of it the Schwinger decomposition of 4-potential with the Bogoliubov method of interaction switching in time and in space regions is considered. At such approach near field is describable by the part of covariant Green function of QED, the fast-damping Schwinger function is formed by longitudinal and scalar components of Aμ none restricted by light cone. This description reveals possibility of superluminal phenomena within the near field zone as a “nonlocality in the small”. Some specification of the Bogoliubov method allows, as examples, descriptions of near fields of point-like charge and at FTIR phenomena. Precisely such possibilities of nonlocal interactions are revealed in the common QED expressions for the Van-der-Waals and Casimir interactions and in the Forster law.

To the theory of unstable states

Deviations of the decay law from exponents are discussing for a long time, however, experimental proofs of such deviations are absent. Here in the general form is shown that the conclusions about non-exponential contributions are due to the disregarding of advanced interactions, i.e. at principally non-relativistic considerations. We consider decay processes in the frame of interactions duration of the quantum field theory. We show that at this basis the usual exponential decay has place.
