By the adoption of a quaternion orientational order parameter to describe solidification, the topological origins of the thermal transport properties of crystalline and non-crystalline solid states are considered herein. Global…

Superconducting transition temperatures Tc of the YBCO film surface and of the YBCO film/substrate interface were measured inductively. It was observed that the interface- Tc is always higher then the surface - Tc. However deposition of…

Further development of nuclear power plant technology relies heavily on materials durability under operating conditions. Estimating the materials performance in the operando tests is crucial. In this paper, the mechanical behavior of thin…

In this paper, we report the measurements of specific heat of an amorphous $Ti_{9.5}Si_{90.5}$ alloy located very close to the critical point of the metal-insulator transition. In the presence of a magnetic field, the specific heat is…

A simple monatomic system in two dimensions with a double-well interaction potential is investigated in a wide range of temperature by molecular dynamics simulation. The system is melted and equilibrated well above the melting temperature,…

Supercooled liquids and dense colloids exhibit anomalous behaviour known as "spatially heterogeneous dynamics" (SHD), which becomes increasingly pronounced with approach to the glass transition. Recently, SHD has been observed in confined…

Using holographic duality, we investigate the impact of finite temperature on the instability and splitting patterns of quadruply quantized vortices, providing the first-ever analysis in this context. Through linear stability analysis, we…

We deposit intrinsic hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin films by reactive pulsed laser deposition, for various hydrogen pressures in the 0-20 Pa range, at a low deposition temperature of 120C, and investigate the hydrogen…

Low-temperature properties of crystalline solids can be understood using harmonic perturbations around a perfect lattice, as in Debye's theory. Low-temperature properties of amorphous solids, however, strongly depart from such descriptions,…

Isotopically layered amorphous solid water films were used to measure the diffusivity of deeply supercooled liquid water near the glass transition. The films, composed of separate layers of oxygen 16 and oxygen 18 labeled water, were grown…

Strongly disordered superconductors in a magnetic field display many characteristic properties of type-II superconductivity--- except at low temperatures where an anomalous linear $T$-dependence of the resistive critical field $B_{c2}$ is…

The electron and phonon spectra, as well as the density of electron and phonon states of the stable orthorhombic structure of hydrogen sulfide (SH2) at pressures 100-180 GPa have been calculated. It is found that the set of parallel planes…

Taking the mass, charge, hair parameter, and cosmological constant of the 5-dimensional de Sitter hairy spacetime as the state variables of a thermodynamic system, and based on the satisfaction of the universal first law of thermodynamics,…

Based on accurate Lennard-Jones type interaction potentials, we derive a closed set of state equations for the description of warm atomic gases in the presence of ionization processes. The specific heat is predicted to exhibit peaks in…

Here we present an analysis of the mobility-limiting mechanisms of a two-dimensional hole gas on hydrogen-terminated diamond surfaces. The scattering rates of surface impurities, surface roughness, non-polar optical phonons, and acoustic…

Si deposition on H terminated Si(100)-2x1 and 3x1 surfaces at temperatures 300-530 K is studied by scanning tunneling microscopy. Hydrogen apparently hinders Si adatom diffusion and enhances surface roughening. The post-growth annealing…

The temperature dependence of heat capacity for the samples of 90 K phase of YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+x} with x = 0.85, 0.90 and 0.95 was investigated above T_c. For separating the heat capacity into regular and anomalous contributions the special…

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon microspheres feature a pronounced phononic peak around 2000 cm-1 when they are thermally excited by means of a blue laser. This phononic signature corresponds to vibrational modes of silicon-hydrogen bonds and…

We construct a 2+1 dimensional model that sustains superconductivity at all temperatures. This is achieved by introducing a Chern Simons mixing term between two Abelian gauge fields A and Z. The superfluid is described by a complex scalar…

Using isothermal and temperature-dependent electrical measurements, we investigated the resistive switching mechanism of amorphous titanium oxide thin films deposited by a plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition method between two aluminum…
