Thermodynamic behaviour of supercritical matter.
Discovered the crossover of thermodynamic properties of matter above the critical point, and provided a thermodynamic theory of supercritical state in agreement with recent experimental data. The results have shown that the widely-held textbook view of the supercritical state as a physically homogeneous medium without marked changes on the phase diagram needs to be revised. The impact of the result includes a thermodynamic theory of strongly-interacting supercritical matter, a long-standing open problem in condensed matter physics. The results led to two invited talks at the American Ceramic Society Meeting (San Diego, 2013) and at the 7th IDMRCS conference (Barcelona, 2013).
