The structural transformations accompanying the low-temperature phase transition (PT) β´→γ in the argyrodite Ag8SnSe6 characterized by mixed electron-ionic conductivity, have been studied using nuclear gamma resonan...

Liquid crystalline polyurethanes (LCPUs), having azobenzene mesogenic groups, formed a nematic phase on heating and cooling processes. Liquid crystalline binary mixtures were obtained by mixing LCPUs and strongly polar c...

Methanol, water, and their mixtures in the interparticle gaps of wetting-drying methyl silica AM-1 were studied using low-temperature 1H NMR spectroscopy. The bulk density of the samples in the wet state was 200-300 mg/c...

We study the irreversible growth of magnetic thin films under the influence of spatially periodic fields by means of extensive Monte Carlo simulations. We find first-order pseudo-phase transitions that separate a dynamic...

We report on the fact that microscopically enforcing fulfillment of thermodynamics' third law on a system of fermions automatically yields the values of the external parameter (here coupling strengths in the pertinent Ha...

Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling analysis have been carried out to study the critical behavior in a submonolayer lattice-gas, which mimics a nanoporous environment. In this model, one-dimensional chains of...

First- and second-order topological phases, capable of inherent protection against disorder of materials, have been recently experimentally demonstrated in various artificial materials through observing the topologically...

We explore how the quantum geometric properties of the Bloch wave function, characterized by the Hilbert-Schmidt quantum distance, impact magnetic phases in solid-state systems. To this end, we investigate the spin susce...

The possible different phases of homogeneous cold quark matter in the presence of a finite magnetic field and chemical potential are obtained within the SU(3) NJL model for two parameter sets often used in the literature...

In cosmological first-order phase transitions, the microscopic interaction of the phase transition fronts with non-equilibrium plasma particles manifests itself macroscopically as friction forces. In general, it is a non...

We report on a reversible structural phase transition of a two-dimensional system that can be locally induced by an external electric field. Two different structural configurations may coexist within a CO monolayer on Cu...

Topological charges of nodal lines in a multigap system are represented by non-Abelian numbers, and the Euler class, a topological invariant, can be used to explain their topological phase transitions, such as pair-annih...
