In this article we consider a critical thermodynamic system with the shape of a thin film confined between two parallel planes. It is assumed that the state of the system at a given temperature and external ordering field is described by order-parameter profiles, which minimize the one-dimensional counterpart of the standard ϕ4 Ginzburg–Landau Hamiltonian and meet the so-called Neumann – Neumann boundary conditions. We give analytic representation of the extremals of this variational problem in terms ofWeierstrass elliptic functions. Then, depending on the temperature and ordering field we determine the minimizers and obtain the phase diagram in the temperature-field plane.

The influence of free surface and depolarizing field on structural phase transitions in thin ferroelectric films from an ordered state to a disordered one is investigated. The dependences of the order parameter on the distance from the free film surface are calculated. It is shown that with the presence of the depolarizing field and in its absence, the effective thickness of the surface layer depends on the temperature. Nearby the phase transition point, the thickness increases indefinitely. Calculations considering depolarizing field showed that the phase transition points for the bulk ferroelectrics and the film under given boundary conditions coincide. Also shown that in the absence of depolarizing field with mixed boundary conditions, the film thickness does not affect the order parameter, and in presence of the field, this influence is observed.

The paper presents the results of a study of the properties of long cylindrical superconductors with a diameter of the order of coherence length ξ, performed in the framework of the Ginzburg-Landau theory (GL). Boundary conditions of general form are used for solution of the GL equa-tion for superconducting order parameter. Using such boundary conditions allows us to take into account the influence of the cylinder boundary on its superconducting properties. This ap-proach is important for small-diameter cylinders, whose properties significantly depend on the properties of their boundaries.

The kernel of the linearized integral equation for the order parameter Δ (r) was shown] by DE GENNES to be the solution of a diffusion equation in the case of a very impure superconductor. On the basis of the method of the correlation function originating from DE GENNES and further developed by LÜDERS, boundary conditions to the diffusion equation are derived for surfaces and for interfaces between different conductors. In the case of good electrical contact, our results are identical with those given by DE GENNES.
