The reversibility and first-order nature of liquid-liquid transition in a molecular liquid [PDF]
Nature Communications 7, 13438 (2016), 2016 Liquid-liquid transition is an intriguing phenomenon in which a liquid transforms into another liquid via the first-order transition. For molecular liquids, however, it always takes place in a supercooled liquid state metastable against crystallization, which has led to a number of serious debates concerning its origin: liquid-liquid transition vs ...

Electrically driven three-dimensional solitary waves as director bullets in nematic liquid crystals
Nature Communications, 2018 Solitary waves which maintain their shape have many fascinating physical and mathematical properties. Here the authors observe waves trapped along three spatial dimensions in nematic liquid crystals due to an electric field and show that these director ...

The Freedericksz Transition in a Spatially Varying Magnetic Field
Crystals, 2021 Much is known about the Freedericksz transition induced by uniform electric and magnetic fields in nematic liquid crystals. In this work, we are interested in the effects of a spatially varying field on the transition. Specifically, we study the director

The effect of the interphase kinetics on the motion of a quantum crystal in superfluid liquid [PDF]
Journal of Low Temperature Physics, 2019, Vol.195, No.1,
pp.153-164, 2018 The fall of a quantum crystal in the state of "burst-like growth" in a superfluid liquid is considered. The experimental data of the pressure variation in the container during the fall of a crystal are discussed. The model of the motion of the crystal is suggested taking the interface dynamics into account.

The Putative Liquid-Liquid Transition is a Liquid-Solid Transition in Atomistic Models of Water [PDF]
D. T. Limmer and D. Chandler, J. Chem. Phys. 135, 134503 (2011), 2011 We use numerical simulation to examine the possibility of a reversible liquid-liquid transition in supercooled water and related systems. In particular, for two atomistic models of water, we have computed free energies as functions of multiple order parameters, where one is density and another distinguishes crystal from liquid.
