Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is one of the most important techniques for
microstructure determination, being utilized in a wide range of scientific disciplines, such as …

We discuss the weak crystallization of a liquid or a liquid crystal which is a first-order phase
transition close to a continuous one. Such a phase transition is accompanied by the …

Phase behaviour near the order–disorder transition (ODT) of 58 model hydrocarbon diblock
copolymers, representing four different systems, is summarized. Six distinct ordered-state …

Two centuries of research on phase transitions have repeatedly highlighted the importance
of critical fluctuations that abound in the vicinity of a critical point. They are at the origin of …

The phase behavior of polyisoprene-polystyrene (PI-PS) diblock copolymers near the order-
disorder transition was investigated using dynamic mechanical measurements, transmission …

We review the available experimental information on the thermodynamic properties of
supercooled water and demonstrate the possibility of modeling these thermodynamic …

Small-angle neutron scattering experiments have revealed an epitaxial relationship
between the hexagonal cylinder phase, and a bicontinuous cubic phase with Ia 3 d space …

MnSi is an itinerant magnet which at low temperatures develops a helical spin-density wave.
Under pressure it undergoes a transition into an unusual partially ordered state whose …

Two intermediate phases have been observedupon heating an asymmetric poly
(ethylenepropylene)-poly (ethylethylene) diblock copolymer between lamellar and …

The microphase separation transition for asymmetric triblock and (AB) m star copolymer
melts is investigated following a mean-field approach proposed by Leibler for diblock …
