Guided by the analogy to the Bose-Einstein condensation of the ideal Bose gas (IBG) we propose a new model for the lambda transition of liquid helium. Deviating from the IBG our model uses phase ordered and localized single-particle…

Percolation theory is applied to the phase-transition dynamics of domain pattern formation in segregating binary Bose--Einstein condensates in quasi-two-dimensional systems. Our finite-size-scaling analysis shows that the percolation…

We propose a mathematical model describing the process of filling the pores of a building material with lime water solution with the goal to improve the consistency of the porous solid. Chemical reactions produce calcium carbonate which…

We report the structure of transient fluctuations in the liquid phase of a two-dimensional system that exhibits several ordered phases with different symmetries. The density-temperature phase diagram of the system studied, composed of…

The one-dimensional kinetic contact process with parallel update is introduced and studied by the mean-field approximation and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. Contrary to a more conventional scenario with single active phase for 1d models…

Determining the onset of rigidity in gels is a fundamental challenge with significant practical implications across different applications. Limited-valence, or patchy-particle systems have proven to be a valuable model to study the…

Upon intense femtosecond photo-excitation, a many-body system can undergo a phase transition through a non-equilibrium route, but understanding these pathways remains an outstanding challenge. Here, we use time-resolved second harmonic…

Lead titanate (PbTiO3) is a classical example of a ferroelectric perovskite oxide illustrating a displacive phase transition accompanied by a softening of a symmetry-breaking mode. The underlying assumption justifying the soft-mode theory…

A simple, discrete, parametric model is proposed to describe conditional (correlated) deposition of particles on a surface and formation of a connecting (percolating) cluster. The surface changes spontaneously its properties (phase…

We present diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) results on a new metastable, superfluid phase above the crystal ground state in two-dimensional 4He at densities > 0.065 1/A^2. The state is anisotropic with hexatic orbital order. This implies that…

We analyze in detail the electronic properties of high pressure hydrogen around the liquid-liquid phase transition based on Coupled Electron-Ion Monte Carlo calculations. Computing the off-diagonal single particle density matrix and the…

Using Shapefinders, which are ratios of Minkowski functionals, we study the morphology of neutral hydrogen (HI) density fields, simulated using semi-numerical technique (inside-out), at various stages of reionization. Accompanying the…

Employing Monte-Carlo simulation techniques we investigate the statistical properties of equally charged particles confined in a one-dimensional box trap and detect a crossover from a crystalline to a cluster phase with increasing…

High and low temperature relaxation of crystal steps are described in a unified picture, using a continuum model based on a modified expression of the step free energy. Results are in agreement with experiments and Monte Carlo simulations…

I report on the experimental confirmation that critical percolation statistics underlie the ordering kinetics of twisted nematic phases in the Allen-Cahn universality class. Soon after the ordering starts from a homogeneous disordered phase…

Numerical simulations for a number of water models have supported the possibility of a metastable liquid-liquid critical point (LLCP) in the deep super-cooled region. Here we consider a theoretical model for a supercooled liquid water…

Based on ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the low temperature crystal structure of Li2NH which in spite of its great interest as H-storage material is still matter of debate. The dynamical simulations reveal a…

Controlled experimental studies of percolation are challenging due to difficulties in tuning site connectivity, isolating local interactions, and mitigating finite-size effects. In this work, we experimentally investigate percolation with a…

Synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements have been conducted on liquid phosphorus trichloride, tribromide and triiodide. Molecular Dynamics simulations for these molecular liquids were performed with a dual purpose: (1) to establish…

X-ray diffraction studies showed that the structure of (Sr$_{1-x}$Pr$_x$)TiO$_3$ solid solutions at 300 K changes from the cubic $Pm3m$ to the tetragonal $I4/mcm$ with increasing $x$. The analysis of XANES and EXAFS spectra of the solid…
