  We study the effective behavior of random, heterogeneous, anisotropic, second
order phase transitions energies that arise in the study of pattern formations
in physical-chemical systems. Specifically, we study the asymptotic behavior,
as $\epsilon$ goes to zero, of random heterogeneous anisotropic functionals in
which the second order perturbation competes not only with a double well
potential but also with a possibly negative contribution given by the first
order term. We prove that, under suitable growth conditions and under a
stationarity assumption, the functionals $\Gamma$-converge almost surely to a
surface energy whose density is independent of the space variable. Furthermore,
we show that the limit surface density can be described via a suitable cell
formula and is deterministic when ergodicity is assumed.
