We argue that the inhomogeneous A-phase in aerogel is energetically more preferable than the "robust" phase suggested by I. A. Fomin, JETP Lett. 77, 240 (2003); cond-mat/0302117 and cond-mat/0401639.

In series of papers Fomin introduced and discussed the so-called robust phases in a system with frozen orientational disorder (with application to superfluid 3He in aerogel). We show that his consideration is based on the erroneous…

We explain why the objections raised by Golubev et al. in a comment on cond-mat/0111398 are not valid.

The argument of V.P.Mineev and M.E.Zhitomirsky is based on unjustified omission of contribution of fluctuations to the free energy of superfluid 3He in aerogel.

It is shown that the existence of single critical point of the fluid described by van der Waals equation of state is not the hypothesis and it is the consequence of the thermodynamic conditions of liquid-vapor phase equilibrium. It is also…

We report on an investigation of various problems related to the theory of the electroweak phase transition. This includes a determination of the nature of the phase transition, a discussion of the possible role of higher order radiative…

We refute the arguments by Anton in cond-mat/0004390, which set out to disprove the existence of a collapse transition for a randomly forced inelastic particle.

Colloidal particles are not simple rigid particles, in general an isolated particle is a system with many degrees of freedom in its own right, e.g., the counterions around a charged colloidal particle.The behaviour of model colloidal…

Recent work on charged colloidal suspensions with very low levels of added salt has suggested that although pairs of the colloidal particles repel, clusters of the particles attract. Motivated by this, we study simple model particles which…

Rely to the comment by Doering et al. in Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 259401 (2019)

In a recent publication (D. Bolmatov et al. Sci.Rep. 5, 15850 (2015)) the experimental observation of structural transformations on crossing the Frenkel line in supercritical argon is claimed. Here we show that no experimental evidence of…

We develop a thermodynamic description of particles held at a fixed surface potential. This system is of particular interest in view of the continuing controversy over the possibility of a fluid-fluid phase separation in aqueous colloidal…

The claim by He et al. [Physical Review Letters 108, 024502 (2012)] that their experiment reached the 'ultimate' regime of turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection is not justified by their data.

When a rigid object approaches a soft material in a viscous fluid, hydrodynamic stresses arise in the lubricated contact region and deform the soft material. The elastic deformation modifies in turn the flow, hence generating a…

The Comment by Duval et al. [PRL 96, 099701 (2006)] addresses an important, but not the main, result of our Letter [PRL 95, 137204 (2005)]. It does not contradict our results in substance, and the only objection is really on the style of…

In recent work it was shown that new anisotropic p-wave states of superfluid 3He can be stabilized within high porosity silica aerogel under uniform positive strain [1]. In contrast, the equilibrium phase in an unstrained aerogel, is the…

Yagasaki et al. present results from a molecular dynamics trajectory illustrating coarsening of ice, which they interpret as evidence of transient coexistence between two distinct supercooled phases of liquid water. We point out that…

We present a comment on a recent letter by B. Edwards, N.W. Ashcroft, Nature 388 (1997) 652, in which the dielectric instabilty of the phase III of the solid molecular hydrogen system is suggested on the basis of electrostatics.

The Comment criticizes the bifurcation analysis performed in the original paper on a Vlasov equation. This criticism can be traced back to a discrepancy in the definition of the paramagnetic phase. Apart from this discrepancy, there is no…

We study the stability of the ordinary Landau Fermi liquid phase for interacting, spinless electrons. We require causality and demand that the Pauli principle be obeyed. We find a phase diagram determined by two parameters: the particle…
