There are at least three fundamental states of matter, depending upon temperature and
pressure: gas, liquid, and solid (crystal). These states are separated by first-order phase …

Two or more liquid states may exist even for single-component substances, which is known
as liquid polymorphism, and the transition between them is called liquid–liquid transition …

Some low-coordination materials, including water, silica, and silicon, exhibit polyamorphism,
having multiple amorphous forms. However, the microscopic mechanism and kinetic …

Molecular glasses prepared by vapor deposition have been revealed in recent years to have
properties which the glasses prepared by ordinary liquid-quenching methods do not have …

Phase transitions in the liquid state can be related to pressure-driven fluctuations developed
in the density (ie, the inverse of the molar volume; ρ= 1/V) or the entropy (S (T)) rather than …

A liquid–liquid transition (LLT) is a transformation from one liquid to another through a first-
order transition. The LLT is fundamental to the understanding of the liquid state and has …

Liquid-to-liquid transition (LLT) refers to a first-order phase transition between two liquid
states. Here, the relationship between the liquid dynamics and LLT is studied by performing …

Liquids are often assumed to be homogeneous and isotropic at any lengthscale and
translationally invariant. The standard liquid-state theory is constructed on the basis of this …

An intermediate nematic phase is proposed for the interpretation of recent experimental
results on phase biaxiality in bent-core nematic liquid crystals. The phase is macroscopically …

Even a single-component liquid may have more than two liquid states. The transition
between them is called a'liquid–liquid transition'(LLT). Such LLTs have recently attracted …
