More than 20 crystalline and amorphous phases have been reported for ice so far. This extraordinary polymorphism of ice arises from the geometric flexibility of hydrogen bonds and hydrogen ordering, and makes ice a unique presence with its…

We studied the O-bearing molecule HCOOCH3 to characterize the physical conditions of the different molecular source components in Orion-KL. We identify 28 methyl formate emission peaks throughout the 50" field of observations. The two…

The stable isotopologues of water have been used in atmospheric and climatic studies for over fifty years, because the temperature-dependent preferential condensation of heavy isotopologues during phase changes makes them useful diagnostics…

Elastic and inelastic neutron scattering studies have been carried out on the pyrochlore magnet Ho2Ti2O7. Measurements in zero applied magnetic field show that the disordered spin ice ground state of Ho2Ti2O7 is characterized by a pattern…

Theoretical model is presented to describe the anomalous ordered phase of Pr ions in PrBa_2Cu_3O_(6+x) below T_Pr = 12-17 K. The model considers the Pr multipole degrees of freedom and coupling between the Cu and Pr subsystems. We identify…

The critical fluctuations in SrTiO$_3$ near its $105 K$ structural phase transition were studied with triple axis diffractometry using high energy ($\ge 100 keV$) synchrotron radiation in different SrTiO$_3$ crystals with different oxygen…

The critical properties at the ferromagnetic - paramagnetic transition have been analysed from data of static magnetization measurements on single crystals of Pr1-xPbxMnO3, for x = 0.23 and x = 0.30. In Pr1-xPbxMnO3 the ferromagnetic…

A combination of variable-temperature neutron scattering, reverse Monte Carlo analysis and direct Monte Carlo simulation is used to characterise the emergence of magnetic order in the metal--organic framework (MOF) Tb(HCOO)$_3$ over the…

We report pressure broadening coefficients for the 21 electric-dipole transitions between the eight lowest rotational levels of ortho-H$_2$O and para-H$_2$O molecules by collisions with He at temperatures from 20 to 120 K. These…

Gauge theories broken by a single Higgs field are known to have first-order phase transitions in temperature if $\lambda/g^2 \ll 1$, where $g$ is the gauge coupling and $\lambda$ the Higgs self-coupling. If the theory is extended from one…

Gas hydrates are systems of prime importance. In particular, hydrogen hydrates are potential materials of icy satellites and comets, and may be used for hydrogen storage. We explore the H2O-H2 system at pressures in the range 0-100 GPa with…

The equation of state for the pion gas is analyzed within the third virial approximation. The second virial coefficient is found from the pion-pion- scattering data, while the third one is considered as a free parameter. The proposed model…

We present the results of magnetic measurements on Nd6Co(1.67)Si3, a compound recently reported to crystallize in a hexagonal structure (space group P6_3/m) and to undergo long range magnetic ordering below 84 K. The results reveal that the…

We investigate superfluid phase transitions of asymmetric nuclear matter at finite temperature ($T$) and density ($\rho$) with a low proton fraction ($Y_{\rm p} \le 0.2$) which is relevant to the inner crust and outer core of neutron stars.…

We present a measurement of H2O ice crystallinity on the surface of trans-neptunian objects (TNOs) with near-infrared narrow-band imaging. The newly developed photometric technique allows us to efficiently determine the strength of an…

The origin of ferroelectricity in KH_2PO_4 (KDP) is studied by first-principles electronic structure calculations. In the low-temperature phase, the collective off-center ordering of the protons is accompanied by an electronic charge…

We present high-resolution capacitance dilatometry studies from 5 - 500 K of untwinned YBa2Cu3Ox (Y123) single crystals for x ~ 6.95 and x = 7.0. Large contributions to the thermal expansivities due to O-ordering are found for x ~ 6.95,…

We discuss the scenario of two-step magnetic ordering in layered high temperature superconductors after charge ordering. As the temperature decreases, the transition from 3D Heisenberg spin behavior to 2D XY coupling of the Cu spins occurs…

Studies of liquid water in its supercooled region have led to many insights into the structure and behavior of water. While bulk water freezes at its homogeneous nucleation temperature of approximately 235 K, for protein hydration water,…

We have probed the low temperature magnetic behavior of the ordered spin ice material Tb2Sn2O7 through ac magnetic susceptibility measurements of both the pure material and samples with small percentages of Ti substituted on the Sn…
