Theory of liquids: from excitations to thermodynamics
K. Trachenko
Of the three basic states of matter, liquid is perhaps the most complex. While its flow properties are described by fluid mechanics, its thermodynamic properties are often neglecte…
Constraints on fundamental physical constants from bio-friendly viscosity and diffusion
K. Trachenko
The problem of understanding fundamental physical constants was discussed in particle physics, astronomy and cosmology. Here, I show that a new insight comes from condensed matter…
Transition in the supercritical state of matter: experimental evidence
Cillian Cockrell, Vadim V. Brazhkin, Kostya Trachenko
A large and mostly unexplored part of the phase diagram lies above the critical point. The supercritical matter was traditionally believed to be physically homogeneous with no disc…
Universal finite-size effects in the viscoelasticity of confined amorphous systems
A. E. Phillips, M. Baggioli, T. W. Sirk +2
We present a theory of viscoelasticity of amorphous media, which takes into account the effects of confinement along one of three spatial dimensions. The framework is based on the…
Explaining the low-frequency shear elasticity of confined liquids
Alessio Zaccone, Kostya Trachenko
Experimental observations of unexpected shear rigidity in confined liquids, on very low frequency scales on the order of 0.01-0.1 Hz, call into question our basic understanding of…
Collective modes and gapped momentum states in liquid Ga: experiment, theory and simulation
Ramil M. Khusnutdinoff, Cillian Cockrell, Oliver A. Dicks +7
Collective excitations in liquids are important for understanding liquid dynamical and thermodynamic properties. Gapped momentum states (GMS) are a notable feature of liquid dynami…
