Soft matter crystallography—Complex, diverse, and new crystal structures in condensed materials on the mesoscale [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Physics, 2021
An increasing variety of crystal structures has been observed in soft condensed matter over the past two decades, surpassing most expectations for the diversity of arrangements accessible through classical driving forces.

Superconducting Quantum Metamaterials from Convergence of Soft and Hard Condensed Matter Science

open access: yesAdvances in Materials, 2021
Superconducting quantum metamaterials are expected to exhibit a variety of novel properties, but have been a major challenge to prepare as a result of the lack of appropriate synthetic routes to high‐quality materials.

Axion/Hidden-Photon Dark Matter Conversion into Condensed Matter Axion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The QCD axion or axion-like particles are candidates of dark matter of the universe. On the other hand, axion-like excitations exist in certain condensed matter systems, which implies that there can be interactions of dark matter particles with condensed matter axions. We discuss the relationship between the condensed matter axion and a collective spin-

Field Theoretic Aspects of Condensed Matter Physics: An Overview [PDF]

open access: yesEncyclopedia of Condensed Matter Physics (Second Edition) Volume 1, 2024, Pages 27-131 (2024), 2023
In this chapter I discuss the impact of concepts of Quantum Field Theory in modern Condensed Physics. Although the interplay between these two areas is certainly not new, the impact and mutual cross-fertilization has certainly grown enormously with time, and Quantum Field Theory has become a central conceptual tool in Condensed Matter Physics.

Yield Stress Materials in Soft Condensed Matter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A comprehensive review is presented of the physical behavior of yield stress materials in soft condensed matter, which encompasses a broad range of materials from colloidal assemblies and gels to emulsions and non-Brownian suspensions.

Combining Soft with Hard Condensed Matter for Circular Polarized Light Sensing and Logic Operations

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, 2021
The study shows the incorporation of chiral nematic photonic cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) films, well known for their adaptive character of selective reflection of circular polarized light (CPL), and silicon‐based thin‐film photodiodes, thus achieving a ...

Accurate background correction in neutron reflectometry studies of soft condensed matter films in contact with fluid reservoirs.

open access: yesJournal of Applied Crystallography, 2020
Neutron reflectometry (NR) is a powerful method for looking at the structures of multilayered thin films, including biomolecules on surfaces, particularly proteins at lipid interfaces.

Soft matter roadmap

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Materials, 2023
Soft materials are usually defined as materials made of mesoscopic entities, often self-organised, sensitive to thermal fluctuations and to weak perturbations. Archetypal examples are colloids, polymers, amphiphiles, liquid crystals, foams.

Planetary Atmospheres as Non-Equilibrium Condensed Matter [PDF]

open access: yesAnnu. Rev. Condens. Matter Phys. 3, 285 - 310 (2012), 2011
Planetary atmospheres, and models of them, are discussed from the viewpoint of condensed matter physics. Atmospheres are a form of condensed matter, and many interesting phenomena of condensed matter systems are realized by them. The essential physics of the general circulation is illustrated with idealized 2-layer and 1-layer models of the atmosphere.
