TLDR
Both simple and more complex adsorbates that are confined in various environments (slit or cylindrical pores and also disordered porous materials) are considered and how confinement affects the glass transition is addressed.Abstract:
We present a review of experimental, theoretical, and molecular simulation studies of confinement effects on freezing and melting We consider both simple and more complex adsorbates that are confined in various environments (slit or cylindrical pores and also disordered porous materials) The most commonly used molecular simulation, theoretical and experimental methods are first presented We also provide a brief description of the most widely used porous materials The current state of knowledge on the effects of confinement on structure and freezing temperature, and the appearance of new surface-driven and confinement-driven phases are then discussed We also address how confinement affects the glass transitionread more

Complex plasmas: An interdisciplinary research field
TL;DR: Complex (dusty) plasmas are composed of a weakly ionized gas and charged microparticles and represent the plasma state of soft matter as discussed by the authors, and they can be easily manipulated in different ways, also at the level of individual particles.

The Physics of the Colloidal Glass Transition
Gary L. Hunter,Eric R. Weeks +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the current state of understanding of the colloidal glass transition, with an emphasis on experimental observations, is given in this paper, where the authors describe features of colloidal systems near and in glassy states, including increases in viscosity and relaxation times, dynamical heterogeneity and ageing.

Introduction to Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena
TL;DR: There has been a lot of experimental and theoretical work on the nature of critical phenomena in the neighbourhood of second order phase transitions as discussed by the authors, but it has not been easy to get a good overall view of this work without digging through the rather complex original literature, although there are some good review articles covering particular aspects of the work.

The Sites of Premelting in Organic Compounds
Gilberte Dosseh,Alain H. Fuchs +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a theory which should allow to determine whether impurities or defects are responsible for the premelting phenomena in crystalline solids, and tested this model on several orientationally disordered molecular crystals studied by proton NMR spectroscopy.

Molecular dynamics study of the formation of small crystallites of Lennard-Jones particles in slit-like pores with (100) fcc walls
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of small crystallites in slit-like pores with crystalline walls of (100) fcc symmetry was investigated, and the influence of the pore width and the energetic parameters of the fluid particle-pore wall potential on the structure of the frozen droplets was analyzed.

Twenty-five years of thermochemistry research — a personal review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized and concisely reviewed significant advances have been made in the solution calorimetric determination of the standard formation enthalpies of coordination compounds, particularly metal dithiocarbamates, and the application of thermometric titrimetry as an analytical technique for the determination of metals in aqueous systems of environmental significance.
