Helium crystals exhibit faceting as do ordinary crystals, but no other crystals can grow and
melt sufficiently fast to make the propagation of crystallization waves possible at their …

The field of phase transitions and critical phenomena continues to be active in research,
producing a steady stream of interesting and fruitful results. It has moved into a central place …

The effect of weak impurity disorder on flux lattices at equilibrium is studied quantitatively in
the absence of free dislocations using both the Gaussian variational method and the …

The effect of weak impurity disorder on flux lattices at equilibrium is studied in the absence of
free dislocations using both the Gaussian variational method and, to O (ε= 4-d), the …

We study periodic structures, such as vortex lattices, moving in a random pinning potential
under the action of an external driving force. As predicted in T. Giamarchi and P. Le Doussal …

We study a periodic medium driven over a random or periodic substrate, characterizing the
nonequilibrium phases which occur by dynamic order parameters and their correlations …

We present experimental and theoretical studies of the effects of quenched disorder on one-
dimensional crystal ordering in three dimensions. This fragile smectic liquid crystal layering …

We study smectic liquid crystals in random environments, eg, aerogel. A low-temperature
analysis reveals that even arbitrarily weak quenched disorder (ie, arbitrarily low aerogel …

We revisit two-dimensional particle-hole symmetric sublattice localization problem, focusing
on the origin of the observed singularities in the density of states ρ (E) at the band center E …

We reexamine a long-standing problem of the finite-frequency conductivity of a weakly
pinned two-dimensional classical Wigner crystal. In this system an inhomogeneously …
