The investigation of water's glass transition and a possible liquid-liquid transition within its supercooled state is hampered by its inevitable crystallization in a temperature range, termed "no-man's land". Here we report…
In relativistic heavy-ion collisions, the system has gone through a series of evolution, almost at every stage of its evolution it leaves behind footprints in flow observable. Those footprints contain valuable information of the bulk…
Although medium chain length insoluble amphiphiles are well known to form gaseous and liquid expanded phases on an air/water interface, the situation for the soluble case is less clear. We perform molecular dynamics simulations of model…
Recent findings on the displacements in the surroundings of isotropic flow events in viscous liquids [Phys. Rev. E, to appear Feb. 1999] are generalized to the anisotropic case. Also, it is shown that a flow event is characterized by a…
The concept of a Luttinger liquid has recently been established as a fundamental paradigm vital to our understanding of the properties of one-dimensional quantum systems, leading to a number of theoretical breakthroughs. Now theoretical…
A longstanding question in water research is the possibility that supercooled liquid water can undergo a liquid-liquid phase transition (LLT) into high- and low-density liquids. We used several complementary molecular simulation techniques…
In equilibrium and supercooled liquids, polymorphism is manifested by thermodynamic regions defined in the phase diagram, which are predominantly of different short- and medium-range order (local structure). It is found that on the phase…
We review recent experiments that provide evidence for a transition to a conducting phase in two dimensions at very low electron densities. The nature of this phase is not understood, and is currently the focus of intense theoretical and…
Extensions of a previously presented Landau-de Gennes type liquid crystalline phase transition model for the direct isotropic/smectic-A (lamellar) a phase transition to the direct isotropic/smectic-C (tilted lamellar) transition are…
For the past decade, intense experimental effort has been devoted to the search for a liquid-gas phase transition in highly excited nuclei. Now, synthesis of the large body of existing multifragmentation data provides a strong case for…
These lecture notes discuss classical models of liquid crystals, and the different ways in which defects are described according to the different models.
Active matter is not only indispensable to our understanding of diverse biological processes, but also provides a fertile ground for discovering novel physics. Many emergent properties impossible for equilibrium systems have been…
We review some recent developments in mathematical aspects of relativistic fluids. The goal is to provide a quick entry point to some research topics of current interest that is accessible to graduate students and researchers from adjacent…
An introductory survey of the theoretical ideas and calculations and the experimental results which depart from Landau Fermi-liquids is presented. Common themes and possible routes to the singularities leading to the breakdown of Landau…
First principles molecular dynamics simulations reveal a liquid-liquid phase transition in supercooled elemental silicon. Two phases coexist below $T_c\approx 1232K$. The low density phase is nearly tetra-coordinated, with a pseudogap at…
Building upon the classical chemo-mechanical theory of Larch{\'e} and Cahn for equilibrium, numerous studies have investigated the transport of species in solids, with or without trapping phenomena. In most applications -- such as the…
We present a review of the current experimental and theoretical understanding of electron transport in noble liquids. Special attention is given to recent measurements that coincide with the development of time projection chambers (TPCs)…
We present a non-isothermal mesoscopic model for investigation of the phase transition dynamics of thermoresponsive polymers. Since this model conserves energy in the simulations, it is able to correctly capture not only the transient…
Despite of remarkable successes the theory of superfluidity, until now we have no a physical explanation of an opportunity of existence of viscousless flow of liquid helium in viscous medium. The existence of superfluid flow becomes…
Liquids flowing against solid surfaces experience friction. While solid friction is familiar to anyone with a sense of touch, liquid friction is much more exotic. At macroscopic scales indeed, the assumption of inifinite friction, i.e. that…
