dc.descriptionHigh derivative terms do not play a major role in field theories because of the associated complexity and inherent difficulty in connecting these terms to physically measurable quantities. A role for higher derivative terms is analyzed for the case of field theories used to describe phase separated systems. In these theories, higher derivative terms are directly connected to an interfacial free energy which contains the mean and the Gaussian curvature and are shown to determine explicitly the shape of the interface.
