The transitions in disordered substances are discussed briefly: liquid--liquid phase transitions, liquid--glass transition and the transformations of one amorphous form to another amorphous form of the same substances. A description of…
It is difficult to derive the solid-fluid transition theoretically from microscopic models, although this phenomenon itself has been investigated for a long time. We previously constructed an exactly-solvable model with the solid-fluid…

The phase diagram of the prototypical two-dimensional Lennard-Jones system, while extensively investigated, is still debated. In particular, there are controversial results in the literature as concern the existence of the hexatic phase and…
We find that a Lennard-Jones mixture displays a dynamic phase transition between an active regime and an inactive one. By means of molecular dynamics simulations and of a finite-size study, we show that the space time dynamics in the…
It is demonstrated that the crossover between gas- and liquid-like regions on the phase diagram of the Lennard-Jones system occurs at a fixed value of the density divided by its value at the freezing point, $\rho/\rho_{\rm fr}\simeq 0.35$.…

We perform Monte-Carlo simulations to analyse the structure and microscopic dynamics of a viscous Lennard-Jones liquid coupled to a quenched reference configuration of the same liquid. The coupling between the two replicas is introduced via…
