Strongly interacting, dynamically disordered and with no small parameter, liquids took a
theoretical status between gases and solids with the historical tradition of hydrodynamic …

At ambient conditions the great majority of the metallic elements have simple crystal
structures, such as face-centred or body-centred cubic, or hexagonal close-packed …

Thermoelectric devices that utilize the Seebeck effect convert heat flow into electrical energy
and are highly desirable for the development of portable, solid state, passively powered …

Elemental phosphorus is attracting growing interest across fundamental and applied fields
of research. However, atomistic simulations of phosphorus have remained an outstanding …

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 …

The liquid–liquid transition (LLT), in which a single-component liquid transforms into another
one via a first-order phase transition, is an intriguing phenomenon that has changed our …

We take familiar inorganic oxide glasses and non-oxide glasses and the liquids from which
they derive to review the current understanding of their atomic structure, ranging from the …

Bismuthene, the last and heaviest group-VA elemental two-dimensional material, has
received tremendous interests owing to its advantages in electronic-transport, semimetallic …

Our scanning tunneling microscopy and electron diffraction experiments revealed that a new
two-dimensional allotrope of Bi forms on the S i (111)-7× 7 surface. This pseudocubic {012} …

Contrary to the conventional wisdom that there is only one unique liquid state for any
material, recent evidence suggests that there can be more than two liquid states even for a …
