Many-body interactions can play a relevant role in water properties. Here we study by Monte Carlo simulations a coarse-grained model for bulk water that includes many-body interactions associated to water cooperativity. The model is…
The nature of the globule-coil transition of surface-confined polymers has been an issue of debate. Here this 2D collapse transition is studied through a partially directed lattice model. In the general case of polymers with positive…
When a hydrophilic solute in water is suddenly turned into a hydrophobic species, for instance, by photoionization, a layer of hydrated water molecules forms around the solute on a time scale of a few picoseconds. We study the dynamic…
Dynamical quantities such as the diffusion coefficient and relaxation times for some glass-formers may depend on density and temperature through a specific combination, rather than independently, allowing the representation of data over…
We propose a model for addressing the superfluidity of two different Fermi species confined in a bilayer geometry of square optical lattices. The fermions are assumed to be molecules with interlayer s-wave interactions, whose dipole moments…
Because of the negative inclination of the solid-liquid phase separation line in water, ice Ih melts on compression. On further increase in pressure the liquid water transforms into a high density metastable glassy state, characterized by a…
We consider a superfluid transition in two-component dipolar Fermi gases in a two-dimensional lattice with a weak on-site disorder. The momentum dependent dipole-dipole interaction amplitude violates the Anderson theorem and in the weakly…
The Adam-Gibbs view of the glass transition relates the relaxation time to the configurational entropy, which goes continuously to zero at the so-called Kauzmann temperature. We examine this scenario in the context of a dimer model with an…

The critical point of the condensation transition for linear molecules adsorbed on square lattices, was studied by using an adaptation of the Histogram Reweighting technique. The results were obtained by means of grand canonical Monte Carlo…
We report large scale Monte Carlo simulations of the equilibrium discrete Laplacian roughening (dLr) model, originally introduced as the simplest one accommodating the hexatic phase in two-dimensional melting. The dLr model is also relevant…

We propose a unified model combining the first-order liquid-liquid and the second-order ferroelectric phase transitions models and explaining various features of the $\lambda$-point of liquid water within a single theoretical framework. It…
We present a path-integral Monte Carlo study of dissociation in dense hydrogen ($1.75 \leq r_s \leq 2.2$, with $r_s$ the Wigner sphere radius). As temperature is lowered from $10^5$ to 5000 K, a molecular hydrogen gas forms spontaneously…
Many predictions of Doppler cooling theory of two-level atoms have never been verified in a three-dimensional geometry, including the celebrated minimum achievable temperature $\hbar \Gamma/2 k_B$, where $\Gamma$ is the transition…
Using a combination of Monte Carlo techniques, we locate the liquid--vapor critical point of adhesive hard spheres. We find that the critical point lies deep inside the gel region of the phase diagram. The (reduced) critical temperature and…

We investigate the geometry of typical equilibrium configurations for a lattice gas in a finite macroscopic domain with attractive, long range Kac potentials. We focus on the case when the system is below the critical temperature and has a…
We present a theory that explains the experimentally observed crystallisation of a dilute dysprosium condensate into a lattice of droplets. The key ingredient of our theory is a conservative three-body interaction which stabilises the…
