We provide a discussion of the bulk viscosity of two-flavor quark plasma, described by the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model, within the framework of Kubo-Zubarev formalism. This discussion, which is complementary to our earlier study, contains a new, detailed derivation of the bulk viscosity in the case of multiple conserved charges. We also provide some numerical details of the computation of the bulk viscosity close to the Mott transition line, where the dissipation is dominated by decays of mesons into quarks and their inverse processes. We close with a summary of our current understanding of this quantity, which stresses the importance of loop resummation for obtaining the qualitatively correct result near the Mott line.

Non-equilibrium phase transitions in semiconductors due to impact ionization from traps have been obtained theoretically, and are discussed in detail. They include first and second order phase transitions, and develop previous work, which was restricted to second order phase transitions involving band-band processes. The models include switching transitions from non-conducting to conducting states, and from n- to p-type states. They furnish simple illustrations of the general principle that a system which is driven far from equilibrium can exhibit new stable steady states.
