A percolation argument and a dilute compressible random field Ising model are used to present a simple model for mixed cyanide crystals. The model reproduces quantitatively several features of the phase diagrams altough some crude…
Mixed-order phase transitions display a discontinuity in the order parameter like first-order transitions yet feature critical behavior like second-order transitions. Such transitions have been predicted for a broad range of equilibrium and…
Baryon fluctuations exceeding Poisson expectations can signal a nearly first order phase transition at RHIC. We show how these fluctuations can be measured, and apply a dissipative-hydrodynamic formulation used in condensed matter physics…

The high-pressure properties of fluorine and chlorine are not yet well understood because both are highly reactive and volatile elements, which has made conducting diamond anvil cell and x-ray diffraction experiments a challenge. Here we…

The interplay of charge, spin, and lattice degrees of freedom in matter leads to various forms of ordered states through phase transitions. An important subclass of these phenomena of complex materials is charge ordering (CO), mainly driven…
Employing the Polyakov extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, we determine the net-baryon number fluctuations of magnetized three-flavor quark matter. We show that the magnetic field changes the nature of the strange quark transition from…
Rare-earth (RE) based compounds and alloys are of great interest both for their fundamental physical properties and for applications. In order to tailor the required compounds for a specific task, one must be able to predict the energy…
We investigate the dynamics of a first order transition when the order parameter field undergoes resonant oscillations, driven by a periodically varying parameter of the free energy. This parameter could be a background oscillating field as…
Despite the interest in MXenes in the last decade, all of the MXenes reported have a random mixture of surface terminations (-O, -OH, -F). In addition, restacked films have turbostratic disorder and often contain ions, solvent, and other…
We consider the (3+1) dimensional expansion and cooling of the chirally-restored and deconfined matter at finite net-baryon densities as expected in heavy-ion collisions at moderate energies. In our approach, we consider chiral fields and…
