First Order Phase

In a recent paper we have reported the existence of a first-order phase transition which occurs at a characteristic distance of separation between two adsorbing walls. In this paper we discuss some of the thermodynamic properties of this new transition.

Abstract We study the stochastic background of gravitational waves which accompany the sudden freeze-out of dark matter triggered by a cosmological first order phase transition that endows dark matter with mass. We consider models that produce the measured dark matter relic abundance via (1) bubble filtering, and (2) inflation and reheating, and show that gravitational waves from these mechanisms are detectable at future interferometers.
