The structural properties of fluids whose molecules interact via potentials with a hard-core plus n piece-wise constant sections of different widths and heights are derived using a (semi-analytical) rational-function approximation method.…
Gauge/gravity duality applied to strongly interacting systems at finite density predicts a universal intermediate energy phase to which we refer as a semi-local quantum liquid. Such a phase is characterized by a finite spatial correlation…
Thermodynamics and dynamics of a classical two-dimensional system with dipole-like isotropic repulsive interactions are studied systematically using extensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations supplemented by appropriate theoretical…
We studied the correlated quasi-one-dimensional systems by one-loop renormalization group techniques in weak coupling. In contrast to conventional g-ology approach, we formulate the theory in terms of bilinear currents and obtain all…
We provide a consistent statistical-mechanical treatment for describing the thermodynamics and the structure of fluids embedded in the hyperbolic plane. In particular, we derive a generalization of the virial equation relating the bulk…
A continuous unitary transformation is introduced which realizes Landau's mapping of the elementary excitations (quasi-particles) of an interacting Fermi liquid system to those of the system without interaction. The conservation of the…
We introduce a construction to embed a quasiperiodic lattice of obstacles into a single unit cell of a higher-dimensional space, with periodic boundary conditions. This construction transparently shows the existence of channels in these…
We propose a microscopic translationally invariant glass model which exhibits two level tunneling systems with a broad range of asymmetries and barrier heights in its glassy phase. Their distribution is qualitatively different from what is…
It is well known that the similar universal behavior of infinite-size (bulk) systems of different nature requires the same basic conditions: space dimensionality; number components of order parameter; the type (short- or long-range) of the…
We find that a system of particles interacting through a simple isotropic potential with a softened core is able to exhibit a rich phase behavior including: a liquid-liquid phase transition in the supercooled phase, as has been suggested…
We show that a set is almost periodic if and only if the associated exponential sum is concentrated in the minor arcs. Hence binary additive problems involving almost periodic sets can be solved using the circle method.
The quasi-chemical organization of the potential distribution theorem -- molecular quasi-chemical theory (QCT) -- enables practical calculations and also provides a conceptual framework for molecular hydration phenomena. QCT can be viewed…
One distinctive and pervasive aspect of social systems is the fact that they comprise several kinds of agents. Thus, in order to draw parallels with physical systems one is lead to consider binary (or multi-component) compounds. Recent…
Dissipative self-assembly is a recently proposed concept in the field of non-equilibrium systems. This concept catches the reader's attention owing to its relationship with life phenomena. Recently, Credi's group has reported the behavior…
Landau-Fermi liquid theory is conventionally believed to hold whenever the interacting single-particle density of states develops a $\delta$-like component at the Fermi surface, which is associated with quasiparticles. Here we show that a…
We study a class of one-dimensional classical fluids with penetrable particles interacting through positive, purely repulsive, pair-potentials. Starting from some lower bounds to the total potential energy, we draw results on the…
The concept of quasiparticles -- long-lived low-energy particle-like excitations -- has become a keystone of condensed quantum matter, where it explains a variety of emergent many-body phenomena, such as superfluidity and superconductivity.…
A new approach to thermodynamics of simple fluids is presented. The partition function is first expressed in the reciprocal space, it is argued that the links (p,q) between 2 molecules can reasonably in the thermodynamical limit be…
Universality aids consistent understanding of physical properties. This includes understanding the states of matter where a theory predicts how a property of a phase (solid, liquid, gas) changes with temperature or pressure. Here, we show…
The screening of plate-plate interactions by counterions is an age-old problem. We revisit this classic question when counterions exhibit a distribution of charges. While it is expected that the long-distance regime of interactions is…
