We demonstrate that the thermal Casimir-Polder forces on molecules near a conducting surface whose transition wavelengths are comparable to the molecule-surface separation are dependent on the ambient temperature and molecular polarization…

The temperature dependence of the band gap is crucial to a semiconductor. Bulk black phosphorus (BP) is known to exhibit an anomalous behavior. Through optical spectroscopy, here we show that the temperature effect on BP band gap gradually…

The origin of predicted and observed anomalies in caloric curves of nuclei and other mesoscopic systems is investigated. It is shown that a straightforward thermodynamical treatment of an evaporating liquid drop leads to a backbending in…

We consider the behavior of the Gr\"{u}neisen parameter, the ratio between thermal expansion and specific heat, at pressure-tuned infinite-randomness quantum-critical points and in the associated quantum Griffiths phases. We find that the…

I study a thermodynamical approach to scalar metric perturbations during the inflationary stage. In the power-law expanding universe here studied, I find a negative heat capacity as a manifestation of superexponential growing for the number…

We show that for any liquid or solid with strong correlation between its $NVT$ virial and potential-energy equilibrium fluctuations, the temperature is a product of a function of excess entropy per particle and a function of density,…

We have performed high-resolution powder x-ray diffraction measurements on a sample of $^{242}$PuCoGa$_{5}$, the heavy-fermion superconductor with the highest critical temperature $T_{c}$ = 18.7 K. The results show that the tetragonal…

We show that the $T \bar T$ deformation of conformal field theories whose entropy grows as $S(E) \sim E^\gamma$ for $\gamma > 1/2$ exhibits negative specific heat in its microcanonical thermodynamic function $S({\cal E})$. We analyze the…

We derive finite temperature expansions for relativistic fermion systems in the presence of background magnetic fields, and with nonzero chemical potential. We use the imaginary-time formalism for the finite temperature effects, the…

Time evolution of a perturbed thermal state is studied in a quantum-mechanical system with O(N) symmetry. In the limit of large N, time dependence of O(N)-singlet expectation values can be described by classical equations of motion in a…

The anyon fields have trivial $\alpha$-commutator for $\alpha$ not integer. For integer $\alpha$ the commutators become temperature-dependent operator valued distributions. The $n$-point functions do not factorize as for quasifree states.

A basic feature of the nuclear equation of state is not yet understood: the dependence of the nuclear caloric curve on the neutron-proton asymmetry. Predictions of theoretical models differ on the magnitude and even the sign of this…

Thermal expansion in materials can be accurately modeled with careful anharmonic phonon calculations within density functional theory. However, because of interest in controlling thermal expansion and the time consumed evaluating thermal…

The thermal expansion coefficients of $\mathrm{Na}_{N}$ clusters with $8 \le N \le 40$ and $\mathrm{Al}_{7}$, $\mathrm{Al}_{13}^-$ and $\mathrm{Al}_{14}^-$ are obtained from {\it ab initio} Born-Oppenheimer LDA molecular dynamics. Thermal…

There has been significant progress in our understanding of finite-temperature field theory over the past decade. In this paper, we review the progress in perturbative thermal field theory focusing on thermodynamic quantities. We first…

We report measurements of the coefficient of linear thermal expansion, $\alpha (T)$, of the superconducting ferromagnet UCoGe. The data taken on a single-crystalline sample along the orthorhombic crystal axes reveal a pronounced anisotropy,…

The empty perovskite ScF3 exhibits negative thermal expansion up to 1100 K. We demonstrate that ab-initio calculations of temperature-dependent effective phonon spectra allow to quantitatively describe the behavior of this compound and the…

In this work, we develop a generalisation of the thermal entropy to complex inverse temperatures, which we call the thermal pseudo-entropy. We show that this quantity represents the pseudo-entropy of the transition matrix between…

We use holographic techniques to study the zero-temperature limit of dissipation for a Brownian particle moving in a strongly coupled CFT at finite temperature in various space-time dimensions. The dissipative term in the boundary theory…

The influence of the thermal expansion of the Earth's atmosphere on the stability of vertical stratification of fluid density and temperature is studied. We show that such an influence leads to the instability of incompressible flows.…
