We introduce a general formalism to analyze nucleation phenomena in inhomogeneous media which considers the influence of the metastable phase, which is treated as a heat bath in which clusters are embedded, in the dynamics of the nucleation…

The problem of hadronic cluster production in heavy-ion collisions is studied in search for an observable signature of first-order quark-hadron phase transition. The study is carried out by cellular automata in a two-dimensional model of…

We carry out generalized-ensemble molecular dynamics simulations of the formation of small Helium (He) clusters in bulk Tungsten (W), a process of practical relevance for fusion energy production. We calculate formation free energies of…

Extensive Path Integral Monte Carlo simulations of condensed para-Hydrogen in two dimensions at low temperature have been carried out. In the zero temperature limit, the system is a crystal at equilibrium, with a triangular lattice…

Phase transitions of a finite-size two-dimensional quantum fluid of bosons in presence of impurities are studied by using the truncated Gross-Pitaevskii model. Impurities are described with classical degrees of freedom. A spontaneous…

We report successful growth of flux free large single crystals of superconducting FeSe1/2Te1/2 with typical dimensions of up to few cm. The AC and DC magnetic measurements revealed the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) value of…

Time-dependent nuclear network calculations at constant temperature show that for zero-metal stars >= 20 Msun (i) beta-decay reactions and (ii) the 13N(p,gamma)14O reaction must be included. It is also shown that the nuclear timescale in…

The molecular dynamics of solid benzene are extremely complex; especially below 77 K, its inner mechanics remain mostly unexplored. Benzene is also a prototypical molecular crystal that becomes energetically frustrated at low temperatures…

When the density of a nuclear system is decreased, homogeneous states undergo the so-called Mott transition towards clusterised states, e.g. alpha clustering, both in nuclei and in nuclear matter. Here we investigate such a quantum phase…

We report a sequence of continuous phase transformations in iron telluride, Fe1+yTe (y~0.1), which is observed by combining neutron diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat measurements on single crystal samples. While a…

The molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo studies of the thermal stability of C20, C36, and C60 fullerenes and the methane molecule are reported. It has been shown that the heat transfer between the atomic cluster and the external heat…

We present thermodynamic crystallization and melting models and calculate phase change velocities in $Ge_2 Sb_2 Te_5$ based on kinetic and thermodynamic parameters. The calculated phase change velocities are strong functions of grain size,…

The insulator-metal transition in hydrogen is one of the most outstanding problems in condensed matter physics. The high-pressure metallic phase is now predicted to be liquid atomic from T=0 K to very high temperatures. We have conducted…

Microcanonical statistics can be well applied to non-extensive systems like nuclei, atomic clusters and systems at phase transitions of first order with inhomogeneous configurations like phase separation. No thermodynamic limit has to be…

Various definitions of the symmetry energy are introduced for nuclei, dilute nuclear matter below saturation density and stellar matter, which is found in compact stars or core-collapse supernovae. The resulting differences are exemplified…

The results of computer simulation of the dynamics of fullerene C_20 at different temperatures are presented. It is shown that, although it is metastable, this isomer is very stable with respect to the transition to a lower energy…

Full evolutionary models have been built to follow the phases of asymptotic giant branch evolution with mass loss for metal mass fractions from Z=0.0002 to Z=0.004. For the first time, we find that temperatures close to or even larger than…

In a finite temperature Thomas-Fermi framework, we calculate density distributions of hot nuclei enclosed in a freeze-out volume of few times the normal nuclear volume and then construct the caloric curve, with and without inclusion of…

The process of homogeneous crystal nucleation has been considered in a model liquid, where the interparticle interaction is described by a short-range spherical oscillatory potential. Mechanisms of initiating structural ordering in the…

We study the dynamics of inorganic antiferroelectric nanoclusters formed during an order-disorder transition and demonstrate the coexistence of the two phases in a region of 2-3 K around the transition temperature TN~215 K. Single crystals…
