We address problems arising in supersaturated systems of small atomic particles in solids. Nucleation processes in such systems do not seem to follow the classical interpretation but may be indicative of quantal nucleation partucularly at…
The possibility of fundamental theories with very many ground states, each with different physical parameters, changes the way that we approach the major questions of particle physics. Most importantly, it raises the possibility that these…
The paper contains a development of the previously proposed generalized lattice model (GLM). In contrast to usual lattice models, the difference of the specific atomic volumes of the components is taken in account in GLM. In addition to…
Many problems in physics, material sciences, chemistry and biology can be abstractly formulated as a system that navigates over a complex energy landscape of high or infinite dimensions. Well-known examples include phase transitions of…
After a brief introduction to the concept of entanglement in quantum systems, I apply these ideas to many-body systems and show that the von Neumann entropy is an effective way of characterising the entanglement between the degrees of…
This review gives a brief introduction to the chiral effective field theory of nuclear forces and atomic nuclei. We discuss the status of the nuclear Hamiltonian derived in this framework and some recent applications in few-nucleon systems.…

By critically examining the traditional theory of homogeneous nucleation of precipitates in solid solutions, it is revealed that the theory's assertion regarding an increase in the nucleation free energy due to elastic strain associated…
A comprehensive assessment of theoretical uncertainties defines an important frontier in nuclear structure research. Ideally, theory predictions include uncertainty estimates that take into account truncation effects from both the…
Non-equilibrium and equilibrium thermodynamics of an interacting component in a relativistic multi-component system is discussed covariantly by exploiting an entropy identity. The special case of the corresponding free component is…
We review recent theoretical developments in understanding the intermittency phenomenon observed in high-energy leptonic, hadronic and nuclear collisions. In particular, we discuss self-similar cascading and QCD parton showers, models with…
Electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom in atom-cluster collisions are treated simultaneously and self-consistently by combining time-dependent density functional theory with classical molecular dynamics. The gradual change of the…
As we search for an ever deeper understanding of the structure of hadronic matter one of the most fundamental questions is whether or not one can make a connection to the underlying theory of the strong interaction, QCD. We build on recent…
This presentation reports on recent developments concerning basic aspects of low-energy QCD as they relate to the understanding of the nucleon mass and the nuclear many-body problem.
Total reaction cross sections are predicted for nucleons scattering from various nuclei. Projectile energies to 300 MeV are considered. So also are mass variations of those cross sections at selected energies. All predictions have been…
Nucleation at large metastability is still largely an unsolved problem, although is a problem of tremendous current interest, with wide practical value. It is well-accepted that the classical nucleation theory (CNT) fails to provide a…
I summarize recent results and discuss upcoming and planned experiments that attempt to elucidate how the structure of nucleons might be modified by nuclear binding.
Heterogeneous nucleation on catalytic surfaces plunged into a fluid is described through a stochastic model. To generate this non-equilibrium process we assume that the turn on of a electrostatic potential triggers a complex dynamics that…
Various modern nucleon-nucleon (NN) potentials yield a very accurate fit to the nucleon-nucleon scattering phase shifts. The differences between these interactions in describing properties of nuclear matter are investigated. Various…
The nuclear evaporation process is reformulated by taking into account simultaneous multiparticle emission from a hot compound nucleus appearing as an intermediate state in many nuclear reaction mechanisms. The simultaneous emission of many…
