Soft condensed matter physics [PDF]
Solid State Communications, 1997 Soft condensed matter physics is the study of materials, such as fluids, liquid crystals, polymers, colloids, and emulsions, that are ``soft" to the touch. This article will review some properties, such as the dominance of entropy, that are unique to soft materials and some properties such as the interplay between broken-symmetry, dynamic mode ...

THE CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS OF QCD [PDF]
, 2001 Important progress in understanding the behavior of hadronic matter at high density has been achieved recently, by adapting the techniques of condensed matter theory. At asymptotic densities, the combination of asymptotic freedom and BCS theory make a rigorous analysis possible. New phases of matter with remarkable properties are predicted.

Viruses and the physics of soft condensed matter [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2004 Almost 50 years ago, Francis Crick and James Watson observed that “almost all small viruses are either spheres or rods” and put forth the hypothesis that such viruses were symmetrical arrays of subunits (1). In the following paper in that issue of Nature , Donald Caspar demonstrated that tomato bushy stunt virus had at least cubic symmetry and provided

Computational condensed matter physics
Bulletin of Materials Science, 1999 In the high pressure laboratory at BARC, we are pursuing a program to study the behaviour of materials under static and dynamic pressures. Theoretical component has been an integral part for guiding and interpreting new experiments. The initial phase of such efforts was devoted to the development of equation of state models at arbitrary temperatures ...

Strong field physics in condensed matter [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 There are deep similarities between non-linear QFT studied in high-energy and non-equilibrium physics in condensed matter. Ideas such as the Schwinger mechanism and the Volkov state are deeply related to non-linear transport and photovoltaic Hall effect in condensed matter. Here, we give a review on these relations.

Condensed matter physics in time crystals [PDF]
New Journal of Physics, 2020 Abstract Time crystals are physical systems whose time translation symmetry is spontaneously broken. Although the spontaneous breaking of continuous time-translation symmetry in static systems is proved impossible for the equilibrium state, the discrete time-translation symmetry in periodically driven (Floquet) systems is allowed to be ...

Condensed Matter Physics - Biology Resonance [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics B, 2000 The field of condensed matter physics had its genesis this century and it has had a remarkable evolution. A closer look at its growth reveals a hidden aim in the collective consciousness of the field - a part of the development this century is a kind of warm up exercise to understand the nature of living condensed matter, namely the field of biology ...

A class of solvable models in Condensed Matter Physics [PDF]
Condensed Matter Physics, 2007 In this paper, we show that there is a large class of fermionic systems for which it is possible to find, for any dimension, a finite closed set of eigenoperators and eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian. Then, the hierarchy of the equations of motion closes and analytical expressions for the Green's functions are obtained in terms of a finite number of ...
