The viscosity of glass-forming liquids increases by many orders of magnitude if their temperature is lowered by a mere factor of 2-3 [1,2]. Recent studies suggest that this widespread phenomenon is accompanied by spatially heterogeneous…
The concept of negative temperature (T < 0) is unique to quantum physics and describes systems that are hotter than any positive temperature system. For decades negative temperatures have been shown in a number of spin systems, but…

Isolated quantum many-body systems with integrable dynamics generically do not thermalize when taken far from equilibrium. As one perturbs such systems away from the integrable point, thermalization sets in, but the nature of the crossover…

Near 20.48K and in the temperature range 60--70K, anomalous behavior of thermodynamic, spectral, plastic, elastic and other properties of solid methane is observed. The anomalies in the vicinity of 20.48K are due to the phase $\alpha-\beta$…
We modeled the change in the temperature of maximum density (TMD) of a water-like solvent when small amounts of solute are added to the mixture. The solvent is modeled as a two length scales potential, which is known to exhibit water-like…

Certain alloys of iron and nickel (so-called 'Invar' alloys) exhibit almost no thermal expansion over a wide range of temperature. It is clear that this is the result of an anomalous contraction upon heating which counteracts the normal…
