The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) at the center of our Galaxy is the best template to study star formation processes under extreme conditions, similar to those in high-redshift galaxies. We observed on-the-fly maps of para-H$_{2}$CO…

We investigate the finite-temperature phase diagram of polar molecules confined in a quasi-two-dimensional geometry by a harmonic potential along the polarization axis. We employ Quantum Monte Carlo simulations to explore the strongly…

Among all the properties required for the design of the next generation of PCM (density, heat capacity, thermal expansion, latent energy, volume change upon melting, corrosion rate, etc.) the thermal transport properties are by far the…

Measurements of the heat capacity C(T,H) of the one-dimensional quantum magnet TiOCl are presented for temperatures 2K < T < 300K and magnetic fields up to 5T. Distinct anomalies at 91K and 67K signal two subsequent phase transitions. The…

Until now, gels have been formed of multicomponent soft matter systems, consisting of a solvent and one or more macromolecular or colloidal species. Here we show that, for sufficient quench rates, the Girifalco model of C60 can form gels…

Surface energies and surface elasticity largely affect the mechanical response of nanostructures as well as the physical phenomenon associated with surfaces such as evaporation and adsorption. Studying surface energies at finite…

We have designed and constructed a compact rotary substrate heater for the temperature range from 25 $^\circ$C to 700 $^\circ$C. The heater can be implemented in any deposition system where crystalline samples are needed. Its main function…

We have carried out torsional oscillator experiments on solid $^4$He at temperatures between 1.3K and 1.9K. We discovered phenomena similar to those observed at temperatures below 0.2K, which currently are under debate regarding their…

In this paper we describe a new model for solidification with heat flux using the phase field crystal (PFC) framework. The equations are thermodynamically consistent, in the sense that the time rate of change of the entropy density is…

First principles calculations are performed to investigate the thermodynamical stability, dynamical, mechanical, electronic and magnetic properties of CrTiCoZ (Z= Al/Si) novel quaternary Heusler alloys. Y-type III atomic configuration is…

Phase I of hydrogen has several peculiarities. Despite having a close-packed crystal structure, it is less dense than either the low temperature Phase II or the liquid phase. At high pressure, it transforms into either phase III or IV,…

The vortex correlation along the c-axis in high quality single crystals of YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{4}$O$_{8}$ has been investigated as a function of temperature T in different magnetic fields, using the quasi-flux transformer configuration. A…

Molecular dynamics simulations are utilized to study the microwave heating of methane hydrate by the five-body rotation coordinate system with the TIP5P-Ewald model. The structure I of methane hydrate is constructed, and the ice and free…

We have studied single crystals of $C_{70}$ by Raman scattering and photoluminescence in the pressure range from 0 to 31.1 GPa. The Raman spectrum at 31.1 GPa shows only a broad band similar to that of the amorphous carbon without any trace…

Low-temperature (below 60K) phase changes of free clusters containing 50, 137, and 229 methane molecules have been observed in isoenergetic Molecular Dynamics computations. Bulk solid methane exhibits structural phase transformation at 20.4…

These days, as high energy particle colliders become unavailable for testing speculative theoretical ideas, physicists are looking to other environments that may provide extreme conditions where theory confronts physical reality. One such…

Alpha S8 is the most stable crystalline form, at ambient pressure and temperature (STP), of elemental sulfur. In this paper we analyze the zero pressure low temperature part of the phase diagram of this crystal, in order to test a simple…

A significant deviation from the Debye model of rotational diffusion in the dynamics of orientational degrees of freedom in an equimolar mixture of ellipsoids of revolution and spheres is found to begin precisely at a temperature at which…

We investigate to what extent the specific heat of amorphous silica can be calculated within the harmonic approximation. For this we use molecular dynamics computer simulations to calculate, for a simple silica model (the BKS potential),…

At high dissipation levels, vortex motion in a superconducting film has been observed to become unstable at a certain critical vortex velocity v*. At substrate temperatures substantially below Tc, the observed behavior can be accounted for…
