The formation of crystals has proven to be one of the most challenging phase transformations to quantitatively model - let alone to actually understand - be it by means of the latest experimental technique or the full arsenal of enhanced…
We prove that at all positive temperatures in the bulk of a classical two-dimensional one-component plasma (also called Coulomb or log-gas, or jellium) the variance of the number of particles in large disks grows (strictly) more slowly than…
First-order phase transitions that proceed via nucleation of bubbles are described by the homogeneous nucleation theory of Langer. The nucleation rate is one of the most interesting parameters of these transitions. In previous works we have…

In this manuscript, we undertake an examination of a classical plasma deployed on two finite co-planar surfaces: a circular region $\Omega_{in}$ into an annular region $\Omega_{out}$ with a gap in between. It is studied both from the point…
In the past decade, coupled-cluster theory has seen a renaissance in nuclear physics, with computations of neutron-rich and medium-mass nuclei. The method is efficient for nuclei with product-state references, and it describes many aspects…

A neutron star is born as a hot, lepton-rich protoneutron star (PNS) and cools via neutrino emission, eventually allowing heavy ions in the outer layers to crystallize into a solid crust. We develop a simple analytic estimate for the onset…
