The spontaneous polarization of smectic liquid crystals arises from sterically induced nearest neighbor interactions.

Electronic and collisional excitation of thin films of condensed molecular gases (H sub 2 O, O sub 2, N sub 2, CO sub 2, NH sub 3, SO sub 2, CH sub 4, etc.) by MeV and KeV ions results in sputterin

Various experimental approaches to measure molecular diffusion on surfaces are presented.

Exploratory molecular dynamics calculations have been carried out to clarify molecular processes involved in nonphotochemical hole-burning (NPHB) experiments.

We present the first direct calculation by simulation of the excess surface free energy of a crystal-liquid interface.

The excess free energy, entropy and energy have been obtained for crystal-vapor interfaces by molecular dynamics.

An obvious shortcoming of classical trajectory simulations of chemical reactions is their limitation to short timescale processes.

Crystal-melt interfaces at the triple point have been investigated by molecular dynamics techniques.

Molecular dynamics computer simulation has been utilized to study physical and chemical properties of the highly reactive element fluorine in its fluid phases.

Nanofluids have been proposed as a route for surpassing the performance of currently available heat transfer liquids in the near future.
