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.

Dislocation-mediated melting in two dimensions
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory of dislocation-mediated melting in two dimensions is described in detail, with an emphasis on results for triangular lattices on both smooth and periodic substrates, and the behavior of the specific heat, structure factor, and various elastic constants near these transitions is worked out.
