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.

The Onset of Phase Transitions in Condensed Matter and Relativistic QFT [PDF]

arXiv, 2000
Kibble and Zurek have provided a unifying causal picture for the appearance of topological defects like cosmic strings or vortices at the onset of phase transitions in relativistic QFT and condensed matter systems respectively.

Amplitude/Higgs Modes in Condensed Matter Physics [PDF]

Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics, 2015
The order parameter and its variations in space and time in many different states in condensed matter physics at low temperatures are described by the complex function Ψ(r, t). These states include superfluids, superconductors, and a subclass of antiferromagnets and charge density waves.

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 underst and the nature of living condensed matter, namely the field of biology,

Particle physics and condensed matter: the saga continues [PDF]

Physica Scripta, 2016
Ideas from quantum field theory and topology have proved remarkably fertile in suggesting new phenomena in the quantum physics of condensed matter. Here I'll supply some broad, unifying context, both conceptual and historical, for the abundance of results reported at the Nobel Symposium on "New Forms of Matter, Topological Insulators and ...

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 ...

Machine learning for condensed matter physics [PDF]

Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2020
Abstract Condensed matter physics (CMP) seeks to understand the microscopic interactions of matter at the quantum and atomistic levels, and describes how these interactions result in both mesoscopic and macroscopic properties. CMP overlaps with many other important branches of science, such as chemistry, materials science, statistical ...

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

Encyclopedia 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.
