theoretical status between gases and solids with the historical tradition of hydrodynamic …

Microscopic dynamics in liquid metals: The experimental point of view

T Scopigno, G Ruocco, F Sette - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2005 - APS

The Widom line as the crossover between liquid-like and gas-like behaviour in supercritical fluids

GG Simeoni, T Bryk, FA Gorelli, M Krisch, G Ruocco… - Nature Physics, 2010 - nature.com
According to textbook definitions, there exists no physical observable able to distinguish a
liquid from a gas beyond the critical point, and hence only a single fluid phase is defined …

Phonon interpretation of the 'boson peak'in supercooled liquids

TS Grigera, V Martín-Mayor, G Parisi, P Verrocchio - Nature, 2003 - nature.com
Glasses, are amorphous solids, in the sense that they display elastic behaviour. In
crystalline solids, elasticity is associated with phonons, which are quantized vibrational …

Is the fragility of a liquid embedded in the properties of its glass?

T Scopigno, G Ruocco, F Sette, G Monaco - Science, 2003 - science.org
When a liquid is cooled below its melting temperature, it usually crystallizes. However, if the
quenching rate is fast enough, the system may remain in a disordered state, progressively …

Detection of human influence on sea-level pressure

NP Gillett, FW Zwiers, AJ Weaver, PA Stott - Nature, 2003 - nature.com
Greenhouse gases and tropospheric sulphate aerosols—the main human influences on
climate—have been shown to have had a detectable effect on surface air temperature,,, the …

Anomalous properties of the acoustic excitations in glasses on the mesoscopic length scale

G Monaco, S Mossa - … of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009 - National Acad Sciences
The low-temperature thermal properties of dielectric crystals are governed by acoustic
excitations with large wavelengths that are well described by plane waves. This is the Debye …

Liquidlike behavior of supercritical fluids

F Gorelli, M Santoro, T Scopigno, M Krisch, G Ruocco - Physical review letters, 2006 - APS
The high frequency dynamics of fluid oxygen has been investigated by inelastic x-ray

Scaling of phononic transport with connectivity in amorphous solids

M Wyart - Europhysics Letters, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
The effect of coordination on transport is investigated theoretically using random networks of
springs as model systems. An effective medium approximation is made to compute the …
