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. There is no direct experimental evidence in QFT, but in condensed matter the predictions are largely, but not wholly ...

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 ...

Superfluid Helium 3: Link between Condensed Matter Physics and Particle Physics
, 2000 The discovery of the superfluid phases of Helium 3 in 1971 opened the door to one of the most fascinating systems known in condensed matter physics. Superfluidity of Helium 3, originating from pair condensation of Helium 3 atoms, turned out to be the ...

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

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.
