Dear Members,
I was reading a tutorial on ferroelectricity of liquid crystals, underneath is the excrept:
"For ferroelectric materials, in addition to the dielectric torque, the electric torque will have a term due to the linear coupling between the spontaneous polarization"
Could someone...

When we fill a dewar or any other container with liquid argon (or liquid nitrogen), if I am correct, it sizzles because it is boiling. However, after we leave it inside for a few minutes, it stops. Does this happen because when you first pour it inside, the environment is of the liquid is much...
In the normal conditions (sea level) water evaporates at 100 C.
In thermodynamics, we say: the amount of energy Q, can raise temperature of the liquid by the formula Q1=cm(t2-t1); when the liquid reaches the boiling point (100 C), we write Q2=Lm.
Q2 is entirely spent on changing liquid state...

Managed to get through a Ph.D. in nuclear physics without covering nuclear matter calculations (or I just don't recall it). My question is does nuclear matter have any shear strength, or is it like an ideal gas? What little I see of elementary calculations it's like a fermi gas so one would...
