Active emulsions, i.e., emulsions whose droplets perform self-propelled motion, are of tremendous interest for mimicking collective phenomena in biological populations such as phytoplankton and bacterial colonies, but also for experimentally studying rheology, pattern formation, and phase transitions in systems far from thermal equilibrium.

Abstract The Peierls-Boltzmann transport equation for phonons, which was re-formulated and modified in a previous paper, is extended to be applicable to arbitrary interactions and phonon processes. As a rule, it turns out that only two types of steady state solutions are possible: hysteresis and threshold. These two solutions reveal the possibility of “transport phase transitions”, i. e. a transition from the “thermodynamic” branch to a “nonthermodynamic” one via a cumulative excitation. It is shown that both the threshold and the hysteresis situation exhibit pronounced analogies to phase transi­tions in thermal equilibrium. The dependence of the steady states from the relevant parameters is discussed.

We investigated the thermo- and photo-induced phase transitions between low spin (LS) and high spin (HS) states of the molecular crystal of [Fe(PM-BiA)2(NCS)2] in the orthorhombic form, by using X-ray diffraction. The structure of the photoinduced HS state, generated from the LS state at low temperature, is compared to the structures of the HS and LS phases at thermal equilibrium and to the thermally trapped HS state. The preliminary results presented here show that the structural reorganization is similar in the different HS states.

This chapter shows that a baryon asymmetry can be generated only if the Sakharov conditions are satisfied. The required departure from thermal equilibrium can be realised either in first-order phase transitions or in out-of-equilibrium decays. Sphaleron transitions as a possible way to transfer a lepton into a baryon asymmetry are covered and the Boltzmann equation governing the baryon asymmetry generated in particle decays is derived. A brief review of baryogenesis during the electroweak phase transition is presented.
