    Disordered flat phase separation of the Lennard-Jones fcc(111) surface

    Recent lattice model calculations have suggested that a full-layered crystal surface may undergo, under canonical (particle-conserving) conditions, a preroughening-driven two-dimensional phase separation into two disordered flat (DOF) regions, of opposite order parameter. We have carried out extensive classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the Lennard-Jones fcc(111) surface, to check whether these predictions are relevant or not for a realistic continuous system. Very long simulation times, a grid of temperatures from (2/3)Tm to Tm, and unusually large system sizes are employed to ensure full equilibrium and good statistics. By examining layer-by-layer occupancies, height fluctuations, sublattice order parameter and X-ray structure factors, we find a clear anomaly at ~0.83Tm. The anomaly is distinct from roughening (whose incipiency is also detected at ~0.94Tm), and is seen to be consistent with the preroughening plus phase separation scenario

    A new species of Striga Lour., S. indica K. M. Prabhu, P. Jayanthi, A. Rajendran & M. Sabu is described from the Western Ghats of India. This species is shows similarities to S. barthlottii Eb. Fisch. et al., a recently described species from Morocco, but differs in unequal calyx lobes, equal bracteoles, short corolla tube, corolla colour and shape, fruit shape, stem colour, branching pattern, and presence of pubescence in various parts and host specificity. A detailed description with keys, illustrations, photographs, comparison chart and tables, conservation status and distributional details are provided
