Dynamics and disorder at the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition
This thesis describes theoretical investigations into the dynamics of superfluid films and the effects of disorder on the roughening transition of crystal surfaces. The dynamic theory of superfluid helium films, due to Ambegaokar et al., is refined to improve the precision of the predictions made. A...
