This is an erratum to our previously published paper.
This is a comment on the preprint arXiv:1809.07771v2 by W. Ji and X.-G. Wen.
I point out the incorrect statement of the recent manuscript by K.Penc and B.S.Shastry.
Experiments and computer simulations have established that liquid water's surfaces can deviate in important ways from familiar bulk behavior. Even in the simplest case of an air-water interface, distinctive layering, orientational biases,…
There are two prominent applications of the mathematical concept of topology to the physics of materials: band topology, which classifies different topological insulators and semimetals, and topological defects that represent immutable…
Zhao et al. [Phys.Rev.B 58, 13824 (1998)] depicted several atomic structures of domain boundaries on a Si(111) surface and criticized the article by the present author and the co-workers. I will point out that their criticism is incorrect…
Liquids in contact with solids are submitted to intermolecular forces making liquids heterogeneous and stress tensors are not any more spherical as in homogeneous bulks. The aim of this article is to show that a square-gradient functional…
Comment on X.-L. Wang et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 253602 (2010).
An emended and improved version of the present paper has been archived in math-ph/0505057, and a preliminary account of its content has been published in Phys.Rev.Lett. 92, 60601, (2004). Moreover, in order to prove the relevance of…
This paper is a comment to M Wilkinson, EPL 106 (2014) 40001, arXiv:1401.4620 [physics.ao-ph,cond-mat.soft], which draws conclusion from our data that are at variance with our observations.
In this perspective, we discuss the unique electronic properties of helical liquids appearing at the boundaries of time-reversal-invariant topological materials and highlight the key challenges impeding progress in this field. We advocate…
This article is a short nontechnical survey of recent progresses in fluid dynamics and differential geometry, relating a conjecture of Lars Onsager to the work of Nash on isometric embeddings.
Controlling the spatial distribution of liquid droplets on surfaces via surface energy patterning can be used to control material delivery to specified regions via selective liquid/solid wetting. While studies of the equilibrium shape of…
It is shown that the interpretation of quasielastic scattering experiments on droplet microemulsions in the paper by T. Hellweg et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2000, 2, 5168, contains serious shortcomings and should be revised.
Recent probing of H2O-D2O mixtures by various means (neutron deep-inelastic scattering, Raman absorption, electrical H+/D+ conductivity) revealed an unexpected dependence of the relevant physical quantities on the isotopic composition of…
We present an extensive but concise review of our present understanding, largely based on theory and simulation work from our group, on the equilibrium behavior of solid surfaces and nanosystems close to the bulk melting point. In the first…
Liquid crystals generally support orientational singularities of the director field known as topological defects. These latter modifiy transport properties in their vicinity as if the geometry was non-Euclidean. We present a state of the…

We comment on the paper `UCN anomalous losses and the UCN capture cross section on material defects' by A. Serebrov et al., Phys. Lett. A 335 (2005) 327 - 336. Data presented do not originate from these authors alone but were taken in…
This note describes a correct way to perform the inflation procedures claimed in the papers on embedding ellipsoids, Journ. Top. 2 (2009), 1-22 and 589-623. The idea is to inflate along a collection of transversally and positively…
