A vibrational model of transport properties of dense fluids assumes that solid-like oscillations
of atoms around their temporary equilibrium positions dominate the dynamical picture. The …

Viewed as one of the grandest questions in modern science, understanding fundamental
physical constants has been discussed in high-energy particle physics, astronomy and …

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 …

We present systematic investigation of sound velocities in various fluids at the fluid–solid
phase transition. First, theoretical estimates indicating that quasi-universal values of sound …

Universality aids consistent understanding of physical properties and states of matter where
a theory predicts how a property of a phase (solid, liquid, and gas) changes with …

It is demonstrated that the crossover between gas-and liquid-like regions on the phase
diagram of the Lennard-Jones system occurs at a fixed value of the density divided by its …

The suppression of CO 2-induced plasticization in polyimide membranes at supercritical
conditions up to 120 bar is investigated. Three approaches (polymer blending, thermal …

Fundamental physical constants play a profound role in physics. For example, they govern
nuclear reactions, formation of stars, nuclear synthesis and stability of biologically vital …

The Frenkel line has been proposed as a crossover in the fluid region of phase diagrams
between a “nonrigid” and a “rigid” fluid. It is generally described as a crossover in the …

Our understanding of the three basic states of matter (solids, liquids, and gases) is based on
temperature and pressure phase diagrams with three phase transition lines: solid-gas, liquid …
