A theory is constructed for dense ionic solutions near charged planar walls that is valid for strong inter-ionic correlations. This theory predicts a fluctuation-induced, first-order transition and spontaneous charge density ordering at the…
We consider a Hamiltonian system made of $N$ classical particles moving in two dimensions, coupled via an {\it infinite-range interaction} gauged by a parameter $A$. This system shows a low energy phase with most of the particles trapped in…
The formation of bulk metallic glass requires the constituent elements to have a negative heat of mixing but has no restrictions on its magnitude. An understanding of this issue is lacking due to the absence of a valid method for describing…
Finite Bose systems cannot display a genuine Bose-Einstein condensate with infinite long-range order. But, if the number of trapped atoms is sufficiently large, a kind of Bose-Einstein condensation does occur, with the properties of the…

Extending earlier work on a vibronic theory of the FA centers in alkali halides, the reorientation is now considered of an off-center Li+ impurity, either isolated or near an F center. We derive analytically periodic potential energy…
Crystal structures play a vital role in determining materials properties. In Li-ion cathodes, the crystal structure defines the dimensionality and connectivity of interstitial sites, thus determining Li-ion diffusion kinetics. While a…

To describe chemical ordering in solid solutions systems Warren-Cowley short-range parameters are ordinarily used. However, they are not directly suited for application to long-range ordered systems, as they do not converge to zero for…
