Graphene is the name given to a two-dimensional sheet of sp2-hybridized carbon. Its
extended honeycomb network is the basic building block of other important allotropes; it can …

Graphene is a rapidly rising star on the horizon of materials science and condensed-matter
physics. This strictly two-dimensional material exhibits exceptionally high crystal and …

PHASE TRANSITIONS AND CRITICAL PHENOMENA Page 1 INTRODUCTION TO PHASE
TRANSITIONS AND CRITICAL PHENOMENA BY H. EUGENE STANLEY Boston University …

The modern formulation of the renormalization group is explained for both critical
phenomena in classical statistical mechanics and quantum field theory. The expansion in …

A thermodynamic theory of “weak” ferromagnetism of α-Fe 2 O 3, MnCO 3 and CoCO 3 is
developed on the basis of landau's theory of phase transitions of the second kind. It is shown …

The reductionist hypothesis may still be a topic for controversy among phi-losophers, but
among the great majority of active scientists I think it is accepted without question. The …

The recent discovery of graphene has sparked much interest, thus far focused on the
peculiar electronic structure of this material, in which charge carriers mimic massless …

Bond-orientational order in molecular-dynamics simulations of supercooled liquids and in
models of metallic glasses is studied. Quadratic and third-order invariants formed from bond …

Statistical Mechanics discusses the fundamental concepts involved in understanding the
physical properties of matter in bulk on the basis of the dynamical behavior of its microscopic …

In the past year it has become possible to fabricate ferroelectric thin-film memories onto
standard silicon integrated circuits that combine very high speed (30-nanosecond …
