Phases of Matter

2021
The objective of statistical physics is to derive the macroscopic (thermodynamic) properties of matter from the laws of mechanics that govern the motion of its microscopic constituents. Note that in this context microscopic may have different meanings. Indeed, although it is common to consider that matter is made of atoms or molecules (something known ...

A phase diagram for jammed matter

Nature, 2008
The problem of finding the most efficient way to pack spheres has a long history, dating back to the crystalline arrays conjectured by Kepler and the random geometries explored by Bernal. Apart from its mathematical interest, the problem has practical relevance in a wide range of fields, from granular processing to fruit packing.

On the phases of compressed matter [PDF]

open access: possibleJETP Letters, 2008
It is shown that matter during the process of compression under the conditions of complete thermodynamic equilibrium at low temperatures should sequentially pass through 14 monoisotopic phase states. The nuclear subsystem is a Wigner crystal in almost all phases and is a quantum liquid at the maximum pressure.

Phase structure of strange matter

Physical Review D, 1993
We present a detailed discussion of the phase structure of hadronic matter with finite strangeness content and discuss the thermodynamic conditions for the formation of metastable strange quark droplets ( strangelets'') in relativistic nuclear collisions.

Phase transition in supersymmetric matter

Physical Review D, 1986
We consider a supersymmetric U(1) gauge model at high temperature. It is shown that the gauge symmetry is restored at high temperature while supersymmetry remains broken. The fermionic partner of the supersymmetric matter exhibits a first-order discontinuous behavior at the critical temperature as the gauge symmetry shows a smooth or discontinuous ...
